Urgent: Need Feedback and comments for a Poets' Spring Video...

Hi everyone,

I need feedback to have comments about quality and interest of this kind of video... You guess i'm not really satisfied...

1. Are sounds too low ?
2. Are subtitles too "jerky"
3. Do you think it's interesting to have english subtitles for teachers teaching french as foreign language? for teacher teaching english as foreign language ?
4. Do you think it's better to have pictures illustrating poems or Do you think it's better to have students telling poems ?
5. Anything else ?: Be pitiless towards me to let me improve this kind of materials...

I think having students read the poems is powerful but I think if you could have images over their voices (maybe more mixing and editing than you are willing to take on), it would be more powerful. If you used PhotoStory3, for example, they could create a little slideshow movie of images, with their voices as narration. (This would also give them more ownership over the video)
Just a thought.
It does get a bit boring (sorry) to just watch poets and writers reading on video.
I hope that helps (in a positive way)

Kevin

Thank you Kevin, you help me in a positive way ;-) I just used IMovie. I have to try what you suggest and insert from time to time images in a second version...
