MMEA Fest

A story on a vintage vinyl record store in Chicago. NOTE: No lower thirds - they are added when the news package runs during the news program

4/6 9:47 am - Great b-roll. Nice variety, well shot. Good audio. Edited together real well. During the stand up you don’t want to say, “I spoke with so and so and so and so and this is what they had to say.” The lower thirds will say that they are the owner and employees, say something that can hook us better like record sales are still strong in our digital world. It’s great the interviewees look at the person behind the camera. Have them stand off center using the rule of thirds so that there is more space in front of where they are looking.
3/6 9:34 pm - You have a great balance of both B roll images and video. The location of your reporter was good, but maybe have them do some of the voiceover work to make them more a part of the story.
2/27 12:24 pm - The story subject was interesting...good number of interviews. There were out of focus shots - too many repetitive shots and too many dissolves. Too many fast shots. The stand up tone did not match the subject of the pkg. Needed more nats and the storytelling needed work in order to build up so the viewer cares.
