After a barrage of assignments in both our Print and Research Methods class (including two more speech stories, and a weekend story for Print; a number of in-depth looks at various topics for RM), I have now moved on to television.
A nice transition I would say.
Our first couple days have started at the pace we left in print, at a feverish pace. We were out on the street the first day filming, and learning how to piece together various shots to make a story with pictures. This is much harder than it works and there is so much that needs to be taken into consideration while doing this.
I also have a tremendous amount of respect for those reporters in the field who are doing stand-up at the location of their story. I think it took me about 15 takes to spit out 4 sentences about how the Faculty of Information and Media Studies (FIMS) is moving to either the Services Building or Ivey in the coming years.
I am now on a bit of a break from our latest assignment. Learning how to write for pictures. I have been given the task of making a story out of about 4 minutes of random shots of a couple on a sailboat.
That's the latest update... Still enjoying the program and the new learning experience is quite challenging!
