We had a workshop where we had to take a news story which i cannot name for legal reasons and work in groups to film a package about this news. The brief was we were able to visit the foreign country and had access to interviews. I worked with Danny and Chris and was chosen as the reporter. Chris was on camera and danny on sound and also doubled up as my interviewee.
We decided to go for a more human aspect of the story and tried to tell it through the families eyes. We also wanted to have a live link and tried our best to follow in the style of BBC reporters waiting outside a building for a person to bring news. i enjoyed the task and felt it helped me to learn more about what goes into a package and how to interview someone and even more so the kind of shots involved. I feel that from watching more news i have become more familiar with the standard shots they use now and this helped majorly on this task.
Things i would do differently is perhaps have been able to set up some shots myself as i was reporting i couldn't really get the opportunity to film. Also myself and the boys found it difficult to initially think of an interesting way to tell this story and this wasted a lot of time but i think eventually we found a good way.
Stay safe,
Helen
