Episode Two

So what do you guys think?

I think as a promotional tool it was a step in the right direction, but I was still somewhat disappointed and confused.

I will be posting my opinions of "Episode 2" as I watch it. I am currently watching it out of morbid curiousity. So...here goes:

1. Starting at the beginning...get rid of the music! It's terrible and inappropriate for a promotional video!
2. Shot of the dry erase board is too long and doesn't make a ton of sense where it is, right at the beginning of the video
3. What's the point of the video of the hallway? Looks like an art gallery...is that part of the school? In any case...it's pointless being there with no context.
4. Why are med students wearing long coats? It would also be nice if the coats fit appropriately
5. Is that first guy in the video with the students standing around him a doctor? Sounds like a chiropractor. In any case, he's not impressive and should be edited out. I highly doubt that place is going to provide meaningful clinical experience Also, some half-decent sound would be appreciated.
6. OOOOOHHH...contract negotiations...sweet! Why is anyone taking pictures of this?
7. Video of a guy taking pictures, neat. Even better that the camera zoom and autofocus noise is louder than the guy talking.
8. Who's the lady? Again, pretty sure she's not a doctor. But if she is...she also had nothing useful to say.
9. The leader guy from CMU can hardly speak english...awesome.
10. Repeat x3 of a guy saying something not funny, not interesting, not relevant followed by a gong. Just.......why?
11. Really can't believe someone else actually called you DJ Siva
12. Someone actually called you DJ Siva...must have some influence. Congrats.

An honest review after watching the video:
Mind numbing at best. The video was completely void of sustenance. As a promotion video, it ought to be embarrassing. The whole thing seemed far more like a high school field trip (and a boring one at that) then a medical school clinical experience. How about some pictures of the school, classes, labs, interviews with students, etc. To call this a reality show is a gross misrepresentation. This is not any more a reality show than a family home video is a reality show. The lighting was bad, the music was bad, the sound was bad, the video quality is even worse. Do yourself a favor and stop now before any more potential students see it.

Note: This is not meant to be flaming or insulting, it is simply an honest review. Assuming you are not one of the students from CMU, you will find it difficult to disagree.
