Looking at youtube interactive games

This is a popular card game that has also been made interactive, there are many problems with it, the first is that overall its pretty boring and really simple. There are a lot of things that could make it better, the first is if there was better quality, its not very clear when he holds the cards up to the camera, this would improve the experiance. Next I think that sound would make a huge difference, he has some music on in the background but if instead of using the subtitles he actually spoke people might be more interested. On of the good things about it is that it's not stupidly long so the length actually fits what he is showing you and by the time you have gotten bored its comeing to an end.

This interactive game is obviously aimed at teaching younger kids to spell but once again it is pretty boring and for those who arn't that good at spelling its not really going to teach them much because all the words are hard and they don't swap between easy and hard. This adds in something that the last video lacked and that is some one actually communicating with you with that said what they have to say is not very interesting and as much as they are trying to make it fun, they're really doing a bad job of it.

We looked at two videos as a group.

This was different to the two video that I had looked at by myself as it had a lot of long videos and was more of an adventure story. This was a lot more interesting thant the above two and included good sound a quality, the only problem I have with it is the videos are really long and at some point can get boring. The onyl improvements I think can be made to it is if the videos were a bit shorter so as to keep you attention better.

This video was similar to the one above other than the fact that it has different actors and a different story, this also has very long stories that can often lose your attention. It too has good quality and sound along with general video effects.
