Week 3 Wednesday Debrief

Today's guest editor was Joe Curtis, the senior reporter of the Hampshire Chronicle.
Below is some notes about the bulletin from Joe Curtis;
- Get people looking at the website. The best way is to use the bulletin to do this.
- Harvey's package was good, using a good variety of perspectives. However make sure you stick to what and why's! A follow up could easily be done after this particular package.
- Emma's package on the teachers strikes could be improved through some shots. The use of the bottom legs of children shots was used in a previous package, therefore it would be slightly better to have new shots for a new package.
- Spence's graduation package was very effective, the walk and talk at the beginning is very good and the presenting was also of a high standard.
- Sport was could be improved as some shots went on for too long and there wasn't a good variety.
- The Volleyball package was very successful this week, the involvement made the story far more interesting.
- Liam's Wolfweek package was good however the fact that he had to travel to Reading to do it, lets it down slightly. If it was more local it would of been perfect. If you have to go too far, then cut the story.

Following is points from Ian Anderson on this weeks bulletin;
- This weeks bulletin was a nice clean programme. At some points we were held back technically and the sound and camera work could be improved. By improving this, everything else will get better. People will not take notice unless this is good.
- Nice headlines this week.
- Writing headlines to picture is always important.
- We are television. If the pictures are not right, people won't listen to the script.
- Oovs are always difficult, and when you don't know cue points, this makes it even harder.
- Emma's strike package is in need of some natural sound.
- Christina's Michael Mansfield package was good, however the two shot of both of them together needs improving as they are too far apart from one another.
- Spence's graduation package had a good opening and an extremeley good use of natural sound.
- Volleyball package was good.
- Liam's wolves story; using 'howl of a story' was not great. As a presenter you use irony, saying it. There are too many mid shots, variation is needed.
