- We need to put more focus and attention on shots and sequences whilst out filming. Every time you interview someone you must get some shots of them to use to establish who the interviewee is, or to use as cutaways.
- Always use a gun mic/ radio mic when interviewing someone.
- Always explain your story, never assume that your audience will know what you are talking about. Plus always think about how your story is coming across, even what background images you are using so that there is no confusion there either.
- Use of natural sound at the beginning of your package sets the scene of your story.
- 'I'm here at' is now a banned phrase.
- Don't explain what the viewers are seeing, you are meant to compliment the pictures being shown, not describe them.
- Also ensure that the camera isn't too wide, need to see detail on the pitch etc.
Graham Bell was our Guest Editor this week, he is a Journalism graduate from the University of Winchester (4 years ago) and is now working at Omnisport. He added that:
- You should drag the sound back before the picture you see the picture, this should help you package flow better.
- Graham agreed with Angus and said that you shouldn't assume the audience know about everything you reference. Explain all content.
- Ensure all packages have BALANCE. This is crucial.
Ian Anderson also said:
- That we need to develop our stories more, push them on as far as they are able to go.
- Sound is just as important as pictures in your package.
- Work on filming sequences.
Now with all this great advice given by 3 Journalists taken on board, we need to make vast improvements on pictures and sound for next week.
