WINOL Week 8 debrief

Ian Anderson

Ian believed that we had a 'string' of real credible packages this week in the bulletin. The News Editor (Kate) had to make some hard choices as to what packages would make the final cut and be in the bulletin. We had options which are what real editing is about.

Nadine (presenter) - Nadine agreed with Ian that more rehearsal time was needed, getting the script done earlier for OOVs will help too. No last minute changes.

Lucy (Priests) - Good that she is filming set up sequences, giving ourselves space to tell the story.

Tom (Illegal rave party) - Liked visual ideas, the serenity of the castle vs the chaos of a rave. It just needed an interview with a person who attended the party or an eye witness. Also it could have been made clearer that the images shown of a rave weren't images of the rave you're referring to in your package. A good story.

Ben (Grit) - Good sound and pictures which are both very important. Could have used archive footage to show disaster pictures of what happens when roads aren't gritted.

Christina (Court Report) - Very good presentation in the PTC. Painting a scene for us of what it was like to be in the court room at the time. Satisfying to watch came to a neat conclusion.

Alex (Cuts) - More impact needed, too much overlay on UKIP. Needed a case study perhaps.

Ellen (Wind Turbines) - Ran out of pictures, needed a range of closeups and wides, variation of shots. It had both sides of the argument but just more explanation needed.

Zeena (Health app) - Very good and interesting story, health stories always hold the viewer's attention. Explanation in the PTC was very well done.

Sport

Drew- Good voice, credible. Camera work consistently good. No post match interview however. Generally all much better with camera work and sound.

Brian

Brian explained that he thought the order of the bulletin was wrong, there was no gradual progression. Our main problem is that we don't react to any breaking news stories on the day. We need to check for daily updates on our own stories too, to ensure that our packages are up to date. We need to react to things, have interviews of people affected by the cuts, get their reaction.
