Tomorrow, from 1:30-4:30, we will practice shooting MOS interviews. I want you to start feeling comfortable going up to people, identifying yourself as a journalist ( journalism student) and do quick interviews. I will give you some tips on techniques tomorrow before we head out.
For the VOSOT, here's what I am looking for....basically, a voice over with some sound on tape in the form of a short interview response or a soundbite from a press conference or official briefing. The story does not have heavy news value, but i would like it to have SOME news value. If you are not sure, please send me an email with your topic or ask me tomorrow.
This is the format/process....
1. Your script should run :40-:45 seconds NOT INCLUDING the stand-up close.
2. Track the entire script INCLUDING the stand-up close.
3. Edit a VOSOT (with slate that includes your name, the length, the title) that has TWO SECONDS of video pad prior to the FIRST word in the script where you want the video to start.
4. At the end of the VOSOT, go to BLACK for the STAND-UP CLOSE which you will ALREADY HAVE TRACKED. The STAND UP CLOSE will be part of your final DVD but WILL NOT be part of the :40-:45 seconds.
(thanks to Alex for helping me with that list)
Next Tuesday, October 6, the schedule is now:
10am-1p Review and critique VOSOTs (giving you your half hour back!)
2p-4:30p Creative Thinking
From school, I will go with the 4- and 8-week students to 30 Rock. Your day will end by 7:15p or so. The one year students will conclude your day at 4:30 and we will go to 30 Rock in a couple of weeks.
