Julies council cuts story is very good. However the first interview we hear about facts about jobs being cut rather than his opinion. At the end he says something like the council could do more I would like to hear more about him complaining. Julie has done well to get balance from the southampton councillor.
Tom's story is a good national story scaled down locally well by Tom. The sequence leading to the first interview is a bit too long I think this could have been mixed up with some different shots. The interview is good, However it could be framed tighter as it has his whole upper body in shot which isn't necessary. Also the cut away to him talking whilst he was still talking was a bit confusing. The second interview is very good the interviewee is clear and gets his point across well.
Louis, very hard to get GV's for this story I think maybe some more shots of people doing things inside. The first voice over is very good it gives us a clear idea of what is going on. The interviewee is is sitting down and looking up which looks a bit strange. I think that the woman working at the shelter should have given her view rather than just straight facts. The councillor says that the lib dems failed, this is a great thing to hear him say so well done for getting that out of him.
There was a few too many oov's, they could have been broken up as it could lead to the viewer getting a bit,well, bored!
Sport wise everyone managed to deliver again, and it is good to see that everyone is pulling their weight, because if one of us starts slacking it can have repercussions for the whole team.
My Ice Hockey piece included 13 goals which admittedly was a bit of a nightmare to pack into a maximum time slot of one minute thirty! It meant that I wouldn't be able to fit all the goals into my package. I took out two goals and used my voice over to explain that goals had been scored. Once again I think that my voice has improved along with my scripting, I tried harder this week to improve the tone on my voice, and as Ice Hockey is a fast intense sport I had to make the enthusiasm in my voice match that or it just wouldn't sound right.
I think that a few of the goals were a bit similar to each other which may have looked like I used the same shot but I can put everyone to rest and say that they were just almost identical goals! Angus mentioned that I could have had a bit more fun with it, which I agree with. I thought about making the voice over a bit exciting and being playful but as it was going in the bulletin I didn't want it to be too silly. Next time that two teams score that many goals I think I will try and be a bit more playful with the script rather than ' goal, goal, goal'. As I can now see that it was maybe a bit confusing to see that many goals and action within such a short space and time and really take it in! Also for my next piece I think I will use some natural sound at the start of the piece as it seems a waste not to use the natural sound that is really pleasing to the ear.
Flick's piece again needs to have the interviewee saying that it is amazing that this is happening rather than explaining the facts. The interviews are very well framed and hearing the scientist saying it's 'surreal' and 'awesome' is the kind of comment that is good to hear!
As I said the sports and news team have been great once again. Great to see every body working hard!
