  • 4/28 10:44 pm - Fun intro. Anchor...sit tall in your seat a bit. Add just a little more energy to your delivery. Women in business is well done. Some good interviews and plenty of b-roll. Weather was confusing. 4 days of graphics but reporter only spoke about last day. Again, some nice work in FCCLA segment. Good audio, b-roll, interviews. For some reason, show seems to drag just a bit. Think about how to tighten the whole show up...make it move quicker with cuts, transitions, etc. There are some nice elements throughout but a bit more energy from anchors, VOs and stand-ups along with some tighter editing will make this show shine a bit more.
  • 4/20 1:32 pm - Intro gives a good feeling about the school. Rolling circle is a cool transition- but speed it up. When it's done it goes to black- go straight to the video to avoid a black flash. Good story on WIB- clear interviews and level audio. Are all the Yemen pictures yours? If not, make sure you attribute your sources. No rolling circle transition to the weather? Graphically, make sure weather graphics show what DAY it is. Credits are used which is good. Short show, but had good segments. Try to make it flow better by speeding up the pace of the show. Nice work.
  • 4/7 10:07 am - Cool intro. WIB segment is well done. Good interview content and b-roll. I was confused by the weather. He just sailed through it. There are some day graphics up there, but what are they? It wasn’t until I went back to look at it again that I saw that his high and low was for the 4th day listed. What about the others? Nice mix of content. Audio was good and nice b-roll and animated stills.

Positives: Captivating opener & well-lit set. The Women in Business story was shot and edited well, had a call to action and could help out a lot of students. I'm glad more than one person was interviewed for that one, it gives the viewer multiple opinions to consider. FCCLA is also a topic worth covering with a lot of good visuals to show off. Overall great job!

Improvements: Anchors hands should be on the desk. Weather talent had a lot of personality! Would have liked the segment to be a little longer so we could see more of that. Maybe incorporate wx models or pictures from outside that they could expand on.

Positives: I appreciated the story told by the business owner in the Women in Business feature. This added narrative. Using a reporter could have fleshed out this story and connected it better to the WIB program. There was a good amount of b-roll in the packages, and you went the extra step to get photos from the business owner.

Improvements: Lacked hard news. While your program included features and weather, it needed hard news at the top of the broadcast to make it a well-round news program. The packages on the Women in Business group and FCCLA ended abruptly. A reporter given a sign off could’ve helped prevent this. Consider stepping up your graphics and using music during transition to make your program a more cohesive news package.

Positives: Strong energy from your anchor to start the show. Your stories were concise and interesting. The whole show was quick and kept me engaged.

Improvements: The anchor should sit up straight and button his jacket. Own the desk, so make yourself tall. Make the viewer feel like you're confident telling me the news. You don't need that transition between every toss and pkg. It got annoying. Did you shoot all the stories? I noticed there was no reporter track. If you were not the photographer, then you should be giving those people credit. If it was you, then it's okay to say I checked this out.
