There are many good qualities to this video such as the video involves cartoon characters as well as a real person. It involved real people more than the cartoons but if a child’s attention started to wonder that’s when the cartoons came back on screen. This video had a lot of children making the signs themselves to show how easy it is for children to make signs. I found that this particular video seemed to be for more of an older audience and I think this because the signs where performed by older toddlers.
I liked how the chapters of the video where broken down into groups of objects, so I could find signs that I was looking for, such as the food category where the actress was wearing a bib and teaching food as well as drink signs. I really enjoyed how there was a signing review at the end of the video so I could test myself on the signs that this video had taught me. I learned a lot of new signs from this video as well as a few new songs that I think are very catchy and where easy to learn.
Something I have never seen on a signing video was having a Frequently Asked Questions part in the video, such as why the actress’s fingers are colour coded and getting the answer to your question. Another thing I haven’t seen in signing videos was bloopers at the end of it, which showed me that even professionals can make mistakes with their signs and signing takes practice.
