What you noticed overall: Finally, write a summary section of at least 100 words about trends, patterns, similarities, differences or strategies you noticed in the stories (either just in the one you focused on, or between the two). You're looking for overall lessons or takeaways that you can apply to your own video shooting.
      I watched the video about the video store closing down and one trend I saw was they made sure to show the workers working to customers looking at the videos to the Videos themselves.  They made sure to always have a Video in each shot no matter if it was a poster on the wall, or a video on the table, they always had one.  They had fifty different shots in this three minute clip and not one of the shots was boring or too long.  They held it at that shot for a couple seconds and then went to the next one.  I also liked how they made sure to get a reaction of the owner, Marc, and get his words and thoughts about how he felt about his store closing.
