Return producer reel and website critiques, vo and vo/sot scripts, and producer ethics test.
Welcome: Janie Wallace-Producer/Anchor/Reporter at WVUA-TV
Homework:
A. Producer Test #2 - Due Monday, January 27th
B. Start the process in class to make sure you can all access the newscast rundown on Google docs and then go to Newsource for the explanation of how you access the information. Danielle, Katie, Bronwynn, and possibly others in class have done this before. They are good resources.
1. Go to newsource.cnn.com. The username is "uoal". The password is "boast". Go to see all videos to see the rundown of stories that CNN is offering up for the day.
2. Pick two stories from CNN Newsource and watch the videos so you know what you are writing to for the script. Pick a vo and a vo/sot to write up. It can be local news, national news, weather, sports, or a feature.
3. Put the full story script in the script column of the newscast rundown in the template located at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsVOidwP1_1bdFVscU54V0lVa051ZnR2OUJnS2hseEE&usp=sharing. (Best practice: Write your script in a word document for safe keeping, then copy and paste it into the rundown in the Google spreadsheet. That way if someone overwrites it in the spreadsheet you still have a copy.)
4. Decide if the story should go in the A Block (local and timely), B Block (national news, health), C Block (feature/weather video), D Block (sports), E Block (kicker, feature to end the show). Paste your story in the block that you feel it fits the best.
5. Fill out all the necessary information associated with that story in the rundown. Fill in the slug, type, director cue, outcue, TRT, camera, CG's, source, anchor, script, and writer.
6. If for some reason, you can not access the newscast rundown, let me know. I have given you access to edit it so you can make changes. I can change the settings if necessary.
7. This is due to be done by Monday, January 27th. I can access this file at any time to see if your work is entered. I will pull it up in class Monday to illustrate several points.
