  • 2/28 11:52 am - Have your subjects look at the interviewer, NOT directly into the camera. Start with restructuring your script to break up the long sots. Write stronger lead ins to your sots; they should also include some information. Upcut at 1:00 in. Great content for a story :)
  • 2/26 12:38 pm - News packages should not have background music, even if it does help set the tone. Reporter should lead the story a little more than just presenting another person to talk about the focus. This could use NATS. The SOT was too long and feels like this is just a story that is all soundbite and no storytelling. I learned a lot, but not in a normal news format. Lower 3rds?
  • 2/21 2:29 pm - - Writing was weak – introducing a SOT and then she introduces herself - NO Nats – needed nats of swimming - SOT was way too long and edits were jumpy - Shots got clear and creative near the middle of the package - The subject matter was good, lacked execution - Package felt too long - Framing on SOT was off - Needed lower thirds - Story was informative
