Tracking problems and "In Your Own Words"

I believe some of the the tracking problems will be alleviated next go round. The school has put a brand new computer in Chaplin, so it should not shut off on its own. Upcoming projects allow for a more scattered tracking schedule, so I don't think you'll get as backed up as in the past.

As for your "In Your own Words" practice and real projects: the practice, based on the interviews you do at school on Monday, should run :30-:40 seconds. The actual interview project should run 1:30. It does NOT need an o/c or a sign off; it only needs a suggested anchor lead-in.

Don't forget, the idea of the interview project is for the viewer to see/hear a complete story by putting the subject's soundbites together to tell one. You will need to shoot b-roll to cover jump cuts and help tell the story we are hearing. You do NOT need to worry about b-roll in your practice interview....there will be jump cuts, it's as simple as that.

Examples tomorrow before we screen the VOSOTS with stand-ups.

Start focusing on an interview subject!
