Judge Miranda Mitra comments on the winning entryThe video had an extremely clear opening and excellent narration so it was easy to grasp the video's structure.
The other element I enjoyed was the use of humour as a means of engagement. Making someone laugh in journalism can also be a way of memorably illustrating an important point, or emphasising the ludicrous nature of a certain policy or action. I thought the scene demonstrating the dangers of populist giveaways was great in this regard.
And the conclusion, with its comparison between good and bad politicians, also left the viewer with ideas to take away and consider. Bravo!
