2. How would you rate the video?
•Is it of high quality in technical terms? Is it interesting aesthetically eg camera angles, use of light, the narrative, and so on?
The video is not such high quality. First, the clip is taken by a camera phone only, not any professional camera, so it can't has any high quality or use some techniques. Also, the clip only has one angle shoot that is in the middle, showing the two people's conversation. It is a causal shoot and no any special angles. And the use of light is natural light that has no any special light settings. For the narrative, there is no storyteller and we only through the conversation to know what is happening.
