composition is composition is composition

These animations, videos, and interactive presentations can and should serve as legitamate forms of compositions. I think they could be used in the classroom, at the discretion of the teacher to get kids involved an interested in the subject at hand because it presents an idea in a way such that the attention of the viewer is held and the visuals facilitate comprehension. I have watched youtube videos filmed entirely from cellphone video recorders and collage type media presentations and I prefer them. Giving the presenter the control and the choice in every aspect of the composition allows him/her more tools to best convey the message or information. It is a more effective means of communication but I dont think it should be standard. I think when choosing a medium to express a view or information the audience should be kept in mind. You don't present medical research findings to a Harvard university panel through this means. But the general population may find it a more interesting take on somthing they previously thought was a dry topic.
