Video characteristics
The camera is very shaky throughout the video and moves wherever the student goes. For the most part, it is a MS of Bill Rolston of his chest up. The audio is fair, but there is a good amount of background noise such as the engine, nearby traffic, and the wind while the group is outside. Midway into the video everyone leaves the bus and someone adjusts the audio resulting in a painful shrill. This only lasts for a minute or so and then everything resumes as it was. The lighting was fair, but it was difficult to see at certain points in the video. The camera quality was a tad fuzzy but good as a whole.
