My multi media critique is on, The National Geographic, The Serengeti Lion. This multi media project has videos of lions playing in the Serengeti, doing their every day tasks, taking care of their young, hunting, playing, etc. The story takes you to many different areas of the Serengeti Lions. It shows what their life it like, it has sounds that enhance the video aspects such as roaring, growling, other habitat sounds such as birds, wind, small bug sounds.. etc which makes you feel that you are apart of the journey with them. Along with a commentary that gives information about them, it gives more information about them and what the section is about, the commentary is short and sweet and allows you to take in all the videos and photos with out the distraction of a voice speaking to you.
I especially enjoyed the Robot section, this is when The National Geographic put in their camera robot to get a closer, more intimate look at the lions, though you would think that the lions would attack this new object in their territory they were not concerned about it, which I though was very interesting. I also enjoyed how there are different sections that allow the viewer to understand the Serengeti Lions, it made it simple to understand and to grasp knowledge about them. It also showed one main video for the section, along with still shot photos of the event that they were taping on, which I though captured a lot of emotion as well.
The baby lions made it very hard to not stop watching they were so cute, and playful that it made it feel happy, I also very much enjoyed the roaring section as well, it showed the male lion roaring and communicating with other lions, this showed the power and how they truly live by their name, “The King of the Jungle.”
Overall, I loved this multi media project is was very entertaining, educational, and overall gave the viewer a first hand look of what the Serengeti lion does within its habitat. This also allowed viewers to think they were in the Serengeti with them, especially with the habitat noises and video sounds, and the videos that the project had. After watching this, I now want to travel to Africa and go on a Safari to see these majestic animals in person, along with all the other animals that live in the Serengeti as well. I believe that this would be a truly unforgettable experience.
