This week I chose to search for an Oscar De La Renta, news multimedia. The designer from the Dominican Republic has died of cancer at the age of 82 this past Monday.
NBC presented a multimedia video, which depicts the recognized Hollywood stars’ designer’s life through the years. I like how the multimedia was presented. It started with where he died and how old he was. Also, where he was born and how proud De La Renta was of being Hispanic. While mentioning all this, the video has B-Roll of De La Renta at special occasions like fashion shows.

Then the video has a transition of the stars for whom De La Renta designed clothes in chronological order, including Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, Oprah Winfrey, among others. I like looking at the designs De La Renta did, but I would prefer to see a complete picture of them and the design drawings.
On the other hand, the video has great nat sound, for example where it says “his impact on women’s fashion has lastest 50 years,” you could heard people clapping. But after a quote from De La Renta I would prefer to hear from a woman who had been impacted by his design. It would be better to switch the quotes, so that the first comes from the actress, Jennifer Garner, and then from De La Renta.
I like the way it ends, with the picture of the designer because that way viewers will keep his image in mind. Overall the story is about his death.
