Individual Element - Tim Holden

My individual element will be a movie made with windows movie maker.
I have looked at two different videos promoting courses.

The first video is for an american computer science course.

This video is more high octane than the next.
It has slanted camera angles, short quotes from students, electronic music background, tasters of lessons and voice over narritive.
Contains many elements i could use in my video, such as voice over narritive, quick descriptive scenes and music.
Aimed more at a younger audience, as it is portrayed as being 'cool' and 'hip' and so on and so forth.

The second video is an interview with a student undertaking a computing course in a British university.

This video is an interview with a student that is taking the course
In the interview, she covers several topics, namely;

Who she is
What course she's doing
What she's learning
Why she's ejoying it
Recommends the course to others

This video contains few elements, so whatever I did would have to be a bit more elaborate, maybe cutting to images of work or a video of a program running  would improve the element.

This video is aimed at mature students who worry about fitting a university course around a busy work and family life.

In my opinion, a combination of both videos would suit our site, as we wish to attract both mature and younger students, so maybe the interviews could be with both mature and young students, background music would be mellow yet appealing to both audiences and it should contain enough technical information to appeal to young students but  not so technical so as to put off those with limited experience with computers.
The purpouse of my would be to promote the course, demonstrate skills learned and maybe an alternative to reading text.
