Today's bulletin
Angus:
- It needed that bit of experience and sprinkle to make it a better bulletin. Quiet week this week due to people being away etc.
- A real problem with sound, cannot empathises enough how important sound is. 3 packages we had sound issues, one clip used in the headlines didn't have good enough sound. Interview has to have gun mic, if you have this, monitor the sound before you start filming.
- Zeena's package - illustrating stories with human interest with a case study. Couldn't get filming in care home, so we get the family who are worried about it. Piece to camera and sound: so much noise on piece to camera, shots so wide you see the microphone. It looks cleaner if you don't see it. Go for an MCU and put the mic lower. Apart from that, it had the right elements.
- Court story: Kate - two headlines with two stills in it. Headlines are about moving pictures, exciting shots, if your going to have two stills, you need to at least drop one of them. Or use alternative stories which have better pictures. This is a court story which has no pictures, we have a piece to camera and still of victim that's all, its an underlay, we had to make it a package and thats where we start suffering.
- Save the rec - Alex. - had to take a load out from the package and telling it from A to Z. Don't assume knowledge, explain to them.
- World vision map: Lucy - It's not a super OOV, we filmed the whole of this guy giving this talk, and got a one to one interview of him afterwards. More likely to use one to one interview. Use some things from talk, to get him to talk about it again in one to one interview as you know key points and background information about the talk itself. We use that and bits of overlay of the talk, some pictures of his powerpoint presentation to make a package.
- As a news editor, you need to think of ways to overcome lack of pictures, or simply ways to deal with it. When news editing, the shape and style of it is as important as the news content.
- Choir OOV - there was no sound in it which didn't work.
- Harvey - relax a bit with it as it's only sport and you can be reasonably chilled out when presenting sport.
- Liam - football - write it well, turn it around quickly. 2 minutes in 2 and a half hours, that's quite good. Liam got on with it straight away and dealt with it. If we are getting national awards we need it in our bulletin and we really need to think about what a huge story it is.
- For those who worked on the budget programme, congratulations. We could of won a couple more with the standard of work we do. The more recognition we get, the more chances we get.
Ian:
- Congratulations to all of us for the award.
- Quite nice that we put the award and the end of the bulletin.
- Thin day, but the most impressive stuff was on the day turn arounds and pushing the deadlines. However, we still got there at 3 o'clock.
- Overall, really pleased with seeing much more credible packaging. Shooting more, giving ourself more set up space, and two very good interviews.
- Get more stories, keep filming more and improve the sound! We must get the mic's in the hot zone, the way to get good sound is to wear head sets and headphones then we can hear the sound that's coming through. It's no good just looking at the monitor, we need to wear headphones and hear the real thing.
- Can see definite progress on the packages.
