1. Lives Lost - Bob Dotson uses his standup shot in the gym to show the gym were the kids used to play and show the school the kids used to learn. Dotson uses the rule of threes and filling the silence and the non-question/question to get good sound bytes from the kids.

2. Cave Rescue -I like Dotson's open shot in this video because it has good detail and previews video well.

3. Ruby Bridges - He uses Setting by taking the video in her old school to show how emotionaly she is conntected to the school. He uses foreshadowing when he states that the school was once her prison in the open. Conflict aplenty in this story with her paretns divorce, faces a mob, father loses a job. He showed how Ruby growed as a character after teaching the six-year-olds and learn the color of your skin does not matter. The conflict is resolved by her understanding that her place in histroy is not quite complete.

4. Pearl Harbor's Untold Story - The ending of this story was very unexpected because the whole video they were talking about the horrible things the US did with the concentration camps but then the 3 men stayed loyal to america and one even honored those who died at Pearl Harbor by crating the memorial.

Rules of Three

Example from Lives Lost: Bob Dotson would ask questions to the kids and then they would answer very briefly and undetailed and he would not respond and stay silent so the kids would elaborate which they did. A more specific example was when he asked the boy what he liked about the girls and they kept ansewering more specifically after each silence.
