Another good bulletin The top story in London, very good that Tom recored a peice to camera to use in case the live feed didn't work which of course it didn't! Always good to have back up and the information was short but sweet.
Julie has done very well again to get an MP on the bulletin. A good mix of interviews with shots of him talking at what looked like a press conference. The news team have been told to get quotes e.g. Huhne saying 'we can't go around having referendums every week' and Julie has done this again and seems to be very good at doing this, aspiring journalists take note! It is all about the quote.
Lou's housing story starts with his explanation which is very clear, the shots of Barton farm are in all honestly a bit boring but there isn't much else that can be done as this is what the story is about. Technically the second interview needs to be decentred and could be tighter, but over all the story is a good local story explained well by Lou who has a very interesting voice which is nice to listen to and keeps you interested.
Lee has done very well again. Another interesting local story which is well put together. The second interview is very good as it follows the structure of information in Lee's voice and comment from the school teacher who is very happy about schools receving money and gives her opinon. And it is a nice shot to finish on with the teacher drawing on the board.
On to sport.
The Map graphic for the olympic story is a good idea as it is much more interesting that just saying it over some shots of sport. A good idea to have Mikey presenting it as having somebody physically talking about it and showing the route makes it much more interesting. A nice link in to the fencing story, well done on getting the interview. Hoever it is a bit short, and as Chris said it would have been nice to see Mikey getting involved putting the gear on and having a go himself, but some nice shots of the fencing taking place is interesting to watch.
The OOV's are good, I think that not showing the long football highlights is better for the show in general as I'm sure a lot of people don't like football (I Can't understand why) and could switch off if it's too long. I think in the past it has been and having it shortened down keeps those who are predominately watching for the news locked on.
Flicks story as mentioned probably missed out on focusing more on the twins graduating, however I think she did well to get the twins graduating together on the same course etc. for an interview. This is still very interesting to hear, and although it didn't focus on them Flick did well to get them in the package. Technically some of the pictures look a bit too white, but the story is well put together again and has some good shots of happy students throwing their hats up which is good to see!
My contribution for the week was Ice Hockey again this time the Peterborough Phantoms were in town to face Basingstoke. Not one of my best and probably one of my worst! Looking back over the package I think that my voice over is not as enthusiatic as it could be and has been in the past. I think that I could swell up the sound a bit more when the Bison score, the only problem being that the crowd are sometimes too loud... which will need me to turn downt he sound on the actual recording. I think it is important to get crowd sound in as it gives the viewer an idea of the atmosphere that was at the game. Unfortunately I ran out of tape and when in over time I missed the game winnng goal that the Bison scored with only 19 seconds left. I had old tapes but did not check if they were re-wound which meant my tape cut out about 10 seconds before they scored. I managed to cover it with some clever commentary but I was very dissapointed that I missed it as it was completely my fault, however you live and you learn and I will make sure this doesn't happen again! Over all it was not my best work and I shall look to improve and be more enthusiastic with my next package.
And a special mention to George for presenting very well especially for his first time. And Cara very well done again very natural you don't ever seem to look nervous, impressive stuff.
