Editing editing editing...

Well TV is now in full force. After the first couple days of getting to know the camera and equipment and then testing those skills, we have been tasked with a new challenge, writing for pictures. This is essentially when you for example shoot a soccer game. You want to tell the story of that game, so back at the editing suite you put it all together and THEN you write a script for your story.

It becomes painfully obvious that you have written a script first and THEN put pictures to the words. Don't ask me how, but it is just kind of obvious.

Our last few assignments have been trying to write for pictures and to make that script follow the story of the pictures without going into too much detail explaining them. Why is this? Well because the pictures are supposed to tell the story and if you become overly descriptive, well move down the hall and park yourself in one of the radio booths.

We have also been assigned our large story where we are to come up with a newsy idea and then make a 60-90 second story.

That's all for now.
