Debrief from Guest Editor Andy Steggall
- Slow news day: this is where you prove your mettle as a journalist. We had some big challenges, including cutting down packages minutes before 5 o'clock.
- Sound was bad for voiceovers, but only because we didn't have the sound booth. But there were sound levels in some packages that could have been controlled better.
- Half-hearted links and stings. The writing, particularly of the links didn't draw in the viewers enough. It lets down the hard work that goes into the packages as less people will watch on.
- Clear angles...they weren't stuck to very well this week.
Stories
1. Stu - Council/Housing
- Had potential to be a great (and very relevant) story for people of Winchester
- Great to get a story from a boring council meeting
- Made FOI request about housing changes, which would have opened up amny more avenues
2. Grant - Crime Down
- One-line link, doesn't sound great or give enough colour
- Link was a 'what's on link'
- ...but PTC did sell the story a lot better (needed to be in link)
- Library pictures: needed to say it was "last month" or have a caption saying 'Library pictures'
3. James - Walk to School
- One-line link. Bad!
- Had a really good shot of busy crowd going to school, was the best shot so use it first
Sport
- Maybe should have started with World Cup story
A. Jason - Athletics
- Started VT with gun shot, caught attention brilliantly
- But link didn't sell it
B. Josh - World Cup Review
- Great PTC
- Could've done with a little stat (e.g. - "English fans will drink 'x' million gallons in pubs during the World Cup")
4. Chanin - Art Gallery (And Finally)
- Another 'what's on' link, lack of angle. But was changed to a terrific link that made the viewer think
- VT started out of focus, really good camera work and drew audience in
- Framing: could've used visual backdrop even more, in order to avoid fire exit sign etc
