  1. This video I found had some technical problems. Most parts of the video I was not able to hear anything, and due to this I think I missed hearing some of the important information on John F Kennedy. I liked the first part of the video and how you explained which section each one of you were going to talk about. I think it would have been better if their were pictures or something which could have made the video more creative. I was able to learn about the program that John F Kennedy took place on housing.

  2. hmmmm. I really liked how the presentation started and thought that it was easy to be understood and was clear, although it might be my computer but I could not hear the audio for almost about half of the time in the video. The parts I could hear, there were great informations with straight forward facts with numbers... I felt that it would have been nice if they had visuals related to the presidency of JFK, but I learned some things from watching this video, such as economical changes

  3. The video started with a good introduction however, I couldn't catch most of the important info about JFK's presidency due to the technical problem. The part where Addy talked about the programs of JFK was very clear and easy to understand. I think that this group should've used props/costumes to make the video more interesting.

  4. The video started off nicely, but I couldn't hear most parts of the video. The parts I could hear were easy to understand and informative, but since most parts were inaudible, it was hard to connect the information together.

    I found that this video is quite interesting though however with the technical issues, I couldn't catch with what you said about JFK. So, I think you should check the sound system before you upload it to YOUTUBE. Overall, Good Job!!

  7. Tech issues. From what I could hear in the beginning, there seemed to be a fairly in depth exploration of the economic situation surrounding JFK's presidency. It also was structured nicely, leading the viewer along without having them get lost.

  8. It's a pity that the video had some technical problems and the audio couldn't be heard. Since some of the informations was missing it was difficult to understand what was going on. However, in general the information was very specific and well researched.
    The video had enough informations that covered the questions, but was a bit dry. It would have been certainly better if there were some visuals that would help understanding.

    The video contained informations and the pacing and recording was easily heard. Hpwever i think that there could have been some kind of humor, text, or acting added to the video. Still, the video was organized and easy to understand.
    Good job!

    Before watching this video, I didn't have so much information about John F Kennedy. I only knew the basics. After watching this video, I could understand a lots of information about John F Kennedy. Also, I liked the video's editing.

    When I saw that the video not working, I thought it was caused by my computer's error! Even though some parts are audible, I couldn't just understand or gain overall idea of John F Kennedy without information that should be in the middle of the presentation.

  12. Although there were some technical issues, I enjoyed watching video!
    It had informations about John F Kennedy. Since I didn't know much about him, this video helped me.
    Since there was some parts that I couldn't hear, If you work on the sounds, I think this video will improve a lot.
    Nice job :D

  13. I thought the introduction was good. The transition were cool. Though some parts were hard to hear, it gave me a better understanding about JFK's presidency. The speed when they talked was slow and easy to understand.

  15. Unfortunately, I could not watch the second half of the video. I tried several times but it just froze and could not continue watching it. But the first half of the presentation had information was in a depth and was easy to hear. However it was quite boring compare to the other videos because it was just listening to the information that you guys are saying and there weren't any short skits of props used in the presentation. It would have been better if you guys used props and some humor in it.

    This video started off nice and clear information about JFK, however I couldn't catch any information about JFK at the end of the presentation.

  19. Oh dear, I couldn't hear a significant portion of your video! The information that I was able to catch was clear and easy to understand though. It may have been a good idea to add some visuals to emphasize your points or to present them in a different way to make your video more eye catching. It was simple and easy to understand the parts I could hear. Good

  20. technical issue. I thought this group could of included props and some acts to just the make the video more interesting for the visual. I found it somewhat boring from just the talking. Places I could hear was great.

  21. The introduction of the video was good. Explaining who will be incharge of what section looked like a good start. However, I could not hear most of the video, so sadly, I cannot say much. If there were text slides, it could have been possible to pick up some information. Use of graphics and props would have made the video better.

  22. very nice video. The computer editing was really good, and also at the same time I could get information about JFK. I could tell they put lots of effort on this video, because they used a lot of props.

  23. It was unfortunate to see many technical problems. Sometimes the audio was missing or the video was not moving at all. However for the parts I could hear I heard very good information. I also liked the clear introduction which helped me have some ideas before the speakers began.

  24. Personally, I think this was a very informative video with necessary research done. But, I would have appreciated a more compliance with the entertainment side of the video although not required.
    Also, this video along with many other had some technical audio issues. These sort of errors could have been avoided.

    This movie has really good introduction. They debited the work equally which showed that they worked really hard on their research work. They use full tem minutess wich is really takes time to do it, well done. After this video i understand better about John F. Kennedy, thank you.

  27. It was a pity that we couldn't hear part of the video, but I could tell that you had done an in depth analysis from what I could hear. Well done, and I liked how you clearly introduced to the audience how you were going to present the video.

  28. AAHHH!!! Techonology!!!
    It is such a pity that I couldn't hear a lot of the information being said. What I did hear was clear information that was answering the question perfectly... and then I couldn't hear it again.
    I thought it was a good idea to introduce what you would be talking about. I had a clear idea of what information I was going to get... BUT I couldn't get it because of the audio!
    Gosh, you guys have even worse luck then our group with the wind...

  29. The information load in this video must have been really detailed and abundant from what I could make out from the parts that I could hear. Technical Issues happen all the time, aiaiai. I thought that the use of props etc may add on some action to your video, which might help some people stay focused. Otherwise, great beginning and introduction + information!

  30. It was clear and fantastic!! Great beginning and introduction and final.

  31. The way each person introduced what they were presenting at the start made the video very focused and easy for the viewers to understand. The information on Kennedy's political reforms were clear but the video had major technical errors. The video lacked visuals and props but it compensated with good info about kennedy's presidency overall.

    ack! technical difficulties! everybody has 'em...including me and this yiid account business. T.T
    Well, from what i could hear, this video sound very organized and in-depth.
    Apparently, i may have more technical difficulties than everyone else though...i didn't get sound until about a minute into the video, and then everything got freezy and glitchy after another minute...

  33. There are some information is hard to hear because it is during the transition of the scene. The scenes seem to be quite repetitive which makes the audience loose there interest quite easily. It will be helpful if there are some visual image or video to show some example of the information that are given.

  34. There were some technological issues. The voice quality wasn't as good as it should have been. I'm pretty sure the information was excellent but since some parts were hard to hear and because the presentation lacked visuals, it was hard to concentrate. I could see the member's effort in trying to answer the questions and to explain the political, economic, and social aspects of Kennedy's presidency but it's a pity that the video lacked some creativity.

  35. Though the video started with a good introduction the technical difficult disabled me to catch most of the important info about JFK's presidency. I honestly think that this group needed to work harder in producing the video.
