Eric Seals, videographer at Detroit Free Press, sent along a link to a recent project he completed titled “Gone Missing in Detroit.” For two weeks he rode along with police, interviewed families of missing loved ones, and documented a recently solved case. According to Eric, this topic is a big issue in Detroit, with approximately 1,600 people going missing every year. I think Eric did an excellent job with this story by weaving an unsolved case with one that was recently resolved so the viewer can see the desperation of unanswered questions along with the pain of knowing the truth. I want you to watch this video and let me know what you think about his use of narration – was it needed to tie everything together or was it a distraction from the story?
