I watched a couple of videos on the same topic in order to try and compare the different styles and also the content. The topic for the videos were ‘The Meeting of Two Worlds’.

In the first video I watched by Sophie Chevalier, Michelle Marin, Elena Munk, and Christiana Tse. It was a clear and simple video that identified a variety of complex topics. Primarily, the group focused on the differences between Spanish and Aztec traditions: including the different beliefs in prophecies and warfare. I really liked the simplicity of the video, as it made the content easy to understand even though the ideas that were depicted in the video was interesting and made room for more research and discussion.

The second video that I watched was by Thomas Seagrave, Daniel Fielburg, Jasmin Jhaj, Rick Cheng, and Christine Santa María. This video was very interesting, with a lot more in the video compared to the first video. There was a clear opinion on Christopher Colombus’ behaviour towards indigenous people, slaves and also women. The focus on gender was intriguing because of the unique perspective that this gave the video. However, the video was very long with a lot of information that was crammed into the 5 minute video. I think a clearer structure would be useful in order to present a transparent topic of what the video’s intentions are.
