"Like You Know" By: Taylor Mali

Personally I enjoyed the text video more that the one of Taylor Mali. I liked how the text changed depending on what the word was and what the emphasis on that specific word was supposed to be. For example when Mali spoke louder or with more force, the text was written larger or bolder. Or whenever Mali said "like" it was written in a cursiveish font almost giving it a somewhat sarcastic feeling. In the text version of the video I appreciated what Mali was saying more. The video had more dimension and angles and gave a different feeling than the video of Mali did. The use of fonts, sizes, and style played a role in how the words and their meanings were perceived. Yet only black font was used, so there were no colors to distract the viewer. And there were no other people or images to distract the viewer from what Mali was saying, where in the video of Mali himself, I was constantly trying to read what his shirt said under the word "Scrabble" or looking at the people in the audience. However I did enjoy how animated Taylor Mali was while talking; he was constantly moving his hands and making gestures, which I really enjoyed. It felt as if he was trying to include his audience and really make them feel as if they are a part of what he is saying.
