I watched a digital story which was posted by Cecyl Esau named "Memories of a Political Prisoner from Worcester". This man talks about his life and his family, especially the life as a political prisoner. However, I was not so engaging into his story. It's not very exciting and surprising. It's just ok. He talks about his tough experience as nothing. And he has a sick people's voice which is weak and inexplicit. The pacing of his voice is just like somebody chewing the gum. And the background music is that he sang some charismas song in his first language. I must say that is very original and unique. Not just because the unique style, but also the unique voice he has. He didn't use enough images. Maybe he doesn’t have many pictures. And most of those black and white pictures confused me. What were those guys doing in this picture? They just stand there and then smell. What are they doing? Show their yellow teethes?
For me, he should find more pictures, not just his own life but also that history period. Maybe he can make his voice pace up and down. His voice should be strong and full of resistant emotion when he talked about he was throw into the prison. And his should be relax and calm when he talked about some peaceful period. By doing this, his audiences can experience the same feel as he lived during that time. And the song of background should be changed to make his prisoner life sounds more exciting and dangerous. He could pay more attention on his prison life. That must be more attractive. Come on, it’s a political prisoner’s tough life, not a pupil go to a boring picnic with a boy scout or something like that. He has a very good theme. This person should let his video be very exciting and pull everyone who watched this video into his prison life.
