I first read Snow Fall yesterday on my phone – and to be honest, I made a mistake by doing that. Most of the multimedia experience of the article is lost in translation when checking it out on your phone. The entire article wasn’t able to fit in my phone, and some of the multimedia segments didn’t even show up. The descriptions of some of the people mentioned throughout the article does not show up, as well as multiple videos – thus the experience of first reading Snow Fall was not as great for me compared to when I checked it out fully on the computer later on.

The content of the article itself dragged on to me. I was quite bored throughout the entire reading, as while it is an interesting story – the way in which it was told just didn’t seem to captivate me. It seemed like it was too busy trying to find exquisite synonyms for words that it didn’t set the picture in my mind to what should be happening. The pictures, descriptions, and videos however were amazing. I loved watching and reading all of the extra content the article had to offer.

This type of multimedia article would be great for a variety of different topics. In fact, I wish more articles and stories were told in this manner – as there is definitely more than eyes the eye for a multitude of articles. Of course, a lot of resources were devoted to this article so perhaps save the multimedia for a story too much to cover through text alone – perhaps an election, a war, or a civil movement?
