  1. Developing your News package

  2. 1. Start your video with • NAT Sound and B-ROLL. • Therefore, look for great NAT Sound and B-ROLL opportunities on the shoot.

  3. 2. Get good shots • Get wide, medium and tight • Of every single shot, • At least 10 seconds from each distance.

  4. 3. Position • Have subjects stand at least one foot from the background. • It looks way more interesting. • Creates Depth of field

  5. 4. Establishing shot. • Get one. • Don’t assume viewers know where you are or what you’re talking about.

  6. 5. Interview subjects • Make sure ANYONE you interview, • Is also included in at least a few shots of your BROLL footage.

  7. 6. Lighting • Light goes behind the camera; don’t leave your subjects in the dark. • Light behind subject creates silhouetting

  8. 7. Your stand up • Look nice on camera. Dress Professional. • You MUST do a stand up intro/outro for your news package. • Intro • Greeting, Name, Location • Outro • Name, Station ID • KCTH Channel 27

  9. 8. Editing • Always shoot with editing in mind. • Look for the action shots, the reaction shots, and interesting activities/people. • Motion = Emotion! • Don’t shoot inanimate objects and use as your BRoll. • BORING! • Action – Reaction

  10. Test your equipment BEFORE you leave for the shoot. • Camera • Battery (bring 2) • Tripod • Tape/SD card • Mic • Headphones • Faulty equipment = a BIG headache

  11. 10. Audio • Check your AUDIO levels on the camera and the mic if needed. • Poor audio will ruin your package

  12. Basic editing techniques • Edit at LEAST 3 different shots of B-Roll together in a series • Don’t put 2 of the same CAM angles back to back • (MS-MS or WS-WS or CU-CU) • 3-5 seconds long for each shot. • Show a sequence • WS-MS-CU, or MS-CU-WS, or CU-WS-MS • WS = wide shot • MS = medium shot • CU = close up (tight shot)

  13. 12. Interviews • Begin recording any interview with, • “Say your name and spell it.” • This is a great way to test your audio levels, while recording the correct spelling of their name. • And then spell their name correctly on the lower thirds in post-production.

  14. 13. Technical Issues • If there is a technical problem, it is probably YOU! • The camera is not broken. • The microphone and tripod DO work. • 99% of all technical problems are user related. • Know how to troubleshoot your equipment!

  15. News package #1 assignments are due • WITH script • On March 27 (or before) • Any news package that is not received by that WITH a properly formatted script will not receive a score on the assignment. • Review guidelines in the syllabus for news package development. • Topics MUST be relevant to the Chabot College TV audience. • (If you have to ask, it’s probably not relevant enough)
