Out of maybe the five or so that I watched this was the once that stood out the most. It was entertaining and also very well put together as an instructional video. Most of the movements made by the guy doing the moon walk could completed and understood without the use of the narrator or the text. This was a problem I found in some of the other videos. They were good, but had it not been for either the narrator or onscreen text, a lot of the actions would've have been hard to understand. This was also recorded in a location where one would practice doing the dance, and there was nothing added. The number one thing that stood out most in this and that I liked best, was the angle that the feet were being shot at. The camera went behind the feet and above them. Whenever the narrator would mention the left or right foot, the camera would behind it not in a mirrored position. This is really helpful for those that might not otherwise comprehend what a mirrored image is doing.
This was a humorous video. It got its point across, how to survive in the woods, and entertained while doing it. The prop teddy bear could've have been done without. However, instructional wise, it does a great job of telling what to do and how to survive in the woods. Maybe all of its content wasn't considered, the teddy bear for instance, but the video does instruct (in an understandable manner) how to survive in the woods.
I decided to post this video because it was funny and seemed like a plausible situation. It was a bit over the top, but still, most of what happened in it were things that would actually take place.
With that said, most videos that work, for me, are entertaining, have acute instructions that are easy to follow, or do both. An instructional video should try and maintain your focus, especially if your goal is aimed at learning from a different source a procedure step by step.
