observations of news segment

Our group seemed to work well together and we managed our time well. When interviewing each other we managed to give clear and strong opinionated answers, for the most part. when trying to do vox pops with the public, most people were very reluctant and could not give very detailed, if any, answers because they had not read the new code of conduct, so we collected much better fottage when using the people in our class.

The footage was fairley easy to come up with and finish by the deadline as we all had the same subject to find information on and film.

one minute news segment

We were asked to create a one minute news piece to camera about the new code of conduct at Central Sussex that included a voice over, cutaways, vox pops and an interview.

First we learned how a piece to camera worked and wrote our introductions, then filmed them.

Next we learnt some interview techniques and set about doing our vox pops with the public and also film our interviews using each other as the interviewee.

once we had collected all our footage, including cutaways, we began to edit it down into a one minute piece and added a voice over for professional effect.
