Tomorrow's class will be spent working in your broadcast groups. I want you to brainstorm ideas for your project. Some things you should be thinking about are:
1. The angle of your story as well as the 5W's and H.
2. Your visual locations. Where are you going to shoot your interviews and settings? Start making a list of possible locations.
3. Who are you going to interview? When interviewing remember that you need to ask questions that will allow your subject to illuminate the angle of your story. Choose people who have an emotional and intellectual stake in your project.
4. Your script. A broadcast news script is different than a newspaper article. You must understand that you will be speaking into a camera. You have to get your point across quickly and clearly.
5. Research and data. Your video will have to include data and facts that support your angle. You are going to want to present this data in a way that does not bore the viewer but draws them in. Start by thinking about what facts will not only support, but enhance your presentation.
OK, that's all for now. check out the websites below for some advice on how to make great news videos.
