A Blind Eye To Domestic Violence by Jeffrey Jean-Pierre. Is basically a video about domestic violence and how many people are blind to the fact. This is interesting to me because he says people are blind because they keep their eyes closed and ignore it. He added emphasize to this by showing pictures of people closing their eyes.
His digital story was presented very well with a voice over, pictures and text on screen. Usually the text was one word such as Help, Cowardice, and more. The point of the film was to get people involved and helping especially when it is right there in front of you.
The video appears to be set in an urban area such as Boston. Places such as these it is easy to turn a blind eye simply because it is such a large city and many other crimes are at such a high like murder and it is easy to look over the "minor" crimes.
To every child by Sidmarie is video about how children of color in the school system need help and guidance because of the constant struggles they go through in life. She wonders if anyone is in the school that also helps these children when they are away from their families. She believes that if she becomes an educator she can help these kids and help them survive in the real world.
This video is based in Boston as well. These two videos could also help express how cities have such high crimes and more poverty areas. Her story was also displayed with voice over, pictures and script on the screen. Mostly of head clouds as though it were cartoon characters talking.
Overall I think Jeffrey's digital story was better because his seemed like he took out a little more time and actually researched his information. Unlike Sidmarie's pictures his were mostly of outsiders in the world. Her pictures were of her, friends, and people she see in the school. Both the films had great points, but Jeffrey's point was received better because of his video.
