Review of Student Explainer Videos on Gender Equality in the Olympics and Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Performance

In a recent student multimedia storytelling assignment, two explainer videos examined gender equality in the Olympics and the controversy surrounding Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance.

Taylor Day

Taylor’s video about the history of gender equality in the Olympics was engaging and original. I really liked how she provided so many good facts and statistics and paired them with visuals while she was explaining more complicated subjects. It was easy to understand and she delivered the information with enthusiasm and energy. I thought it was interesting to learn that the International Olympic Committee has been pushing for more gender equality and even more excited to hear that for the first time ever, the number of women in the the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles will exceed male competitors. Although the video was fast-paced, I was still able to understand the subject matter in a clear, concise manner. I love how she concluded the video with a personal message that she would be “Cheering on these women along with the rest of the world.” Overall, I loved this video and thought she had great information! If I was to offer any constructive feedback, I would recommend that during any areas where she felt the need to read off a cue card, to put an image on the screen so the audience couldn’t see her look away from the camera. I would also change some of the visuals to fit the whole screen vertically to break up the video a bit.

Melia

Melia’s explainer video was about Bad Bunny playing the Super bowl and the controversy surrounding it. I liked that her video used live video from the Grammy’s to show Bad Bunny’s stance on Ice and the current administration. When she showed footage from Kendrick Lamar’s performance from 2025, it's a great way to provide a visual element to make her point about music and art being used as a tool for resistance. I learned that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, supported the choice of Bad Bunny as the halftime performer and that he was hoping his performance would unite people. I thought her video did a really good job at providing history of the subject and explaining the modern-day controversy over Bad Bunny’s performance. I loved the powerful imagery at the end where she showed the end of the 2026 show and that Bad Bunny, did indeed, use the stage to unite the people. She did such a good job at providing a balanced perspective without revealing any bias.
