Top Three Video Remixes
After watching several videos, I have established the top three .
#3: The Scarlet Letter Video Remix by Trevor Hudgens.
#3: The Scarlet Letter Video Remix by Trevor Hudgens.
- The video had a lot of worthwhile information . It was very eerie and a little dark. It was very creative and different from any of the videos I had seen. However, it was very lengthy, this is the only downside of it.

#2: The Tortilla Curtain Video Remix by Marisol Zepeda
- This was a normal picture and song video. The pictures aligned great with the novel and so did the music. It was short and straightforward.
