Just a note to start with here - always tell the news editor if there's a change to your package before you send it to the gallery; a couple of things here needed sorting but nobody let me know.
Anyway... Gonna try to keep this relatively brief #BulletPoints. If I don't write up much about you it's not me being lazy, it's just there's less to note - take that however you like ;)
Good effort on the whole though, guys, it was a tough week!
HCC Jobs - Alex
- Really needed that case study - I appreciate that shots are hard to come by for this type of story but as top package it lacks the desired impact.
- Interviews are well framed although Tim Cutter could've done with a setup shot.
- Good cutaways
- Good setup for Stephen Reid & good cutaways
- Eye level is a bit off
- White balance is slightly off, gives his head a shiny punctuation
- I agree with Chris Coneybeer that the graph is a little much but there wasn't much we could do about that with the time we had left
- Confident PTC
- Great in studio chat
St Jude Storm - Ellen
- Great opening shots, really shows the damage this storm caused
- Good voice as always
- Really could do with a PTC and interviews to bring it to life. We needed to kick up a storm about it ourselves
- I probably should've asked more people to go out with cameras but everyone had their own work to worry about
- I like the RNLI footage, it has good sound but Ian was right to suggest to put it further back in the piece
Diane James - Nadine
- Great interview overall and definitely deserves all the hits it's getting on YouTube
Witness - Christina
- Really well turned around in a day, couldn't ask for anything more!
- Awkward highlights on her hair though, although there's not much you can do about that
Attempted Murder - Kate
- Had some very good ideas about going down to the scene of the crime, it's a shame that we couldn't get the shots without trespassing. I didn't want to run the legal risk of using that footage, but it was a good effort.
- Could've seen the mugshot again but with that in mind how you remembered that PTC is beyond me!
OOVs like Jagger - Various
- Books: Needed more shots of... Books
- Romanian business: Not too bad!
- Fireworks: We really had nothing else!
Prince Edward - Zeena / Emma
- Gotta be honest - I know that this was a very quick turnaround but it was a bit of a balls up.
- I know there were some changes made to it but you really need to let the news ed see it, I would've dropped it from the bulletin last minute.
- We were restricted to using archive footage of the Prince's visit which is fine
- This one's an error on my part - I should've got you to get shots of the cathedral rather than just using Creative Commons images. The pressure of keeping everything else going got to me a bit, I think.
- Spence's v/o (as wonderful as it is) got a bit of an airing where it shouldn't have - one of the changes I wasn't told about
- THAT BLURRY IMAGE - When you remove a quote from a package always de-blur/remove the image it was set on top of. It looks naff, and that's being kind.
- Probably a bad judgement on my part but we needed an extra story as we were a bit late.
- Just a learning curve!
SPORT - Tate / Drew
- Much better this week!
- Tate - your filming was excellent and your voice is getting there too. Try to sound a bit more enthused and a little less wordy - you don't have to explain word for word what's going as people can see it.
- Drew - it was nice to see an actual sports news piece in the bulletin, much better than having a feature there.
- Aim to have a news story every week (I know it's difficult, I've been there myself) because they add more life to the bulletin than the features which are better suited to SportsWeek.
Bike - Lucy
- Really good package
- Exposure was quite off / White balance
- Good to get a box-pop in!
- Needed balance
- GOPRO!!!!
- Natsot dropout after edit - should've gone past me one more time before going to the gallery!
Like I said guys, it was a tough week so well done for pulling through and pulling me through!
