Tanning Beds... Is It Worth it?

 

Three things I would change...

1. I would change the poistion of Ms. Stover in her interview.
2. I would change the audio recpetion of Hayley's interview.
3. I would add more pictures that matched the audio accordingly.  

Story board.

Teen Kids News. "Speak of the Week- Bullying"

The question asked through this video was, "What would you do if your friend was getting bullied?".

8 tips & story idea.

1. Know your material before you begin. Know the subject and many of details about it, learn different sides and opinions and many of facts to help perfect your ideas.
2. Get permission to record, and then get the name, the spelling of the name, and the title before you begin. Make sure the person is comfortable on camera and make sure you know the spelling of their name to either display it on the lower third of the screen or maybe in the credits. Knowing the title might help if you ask questions that focus on it.
3. Write out the questions. Make sure you record what you're going to ask that way you'll be organized and you can ask the same question if conudcting with one or more people.
4. Record the interview, but takes notes, too. Take notes of what is going on for editing and more study and record it to use.
5. Aviod yes/no questions. Asking simple questions will decrease amound of fotage and also decrease amount of interest and knowledge the viewer will have. By having more complex questions you can get a wide variety of answers.
6. Save big questions for mid-to-late interview.  Waiting to ask the most meaningful/longer questions almost to the end that way the viewer will last remember that, it won't bore them at first, and the person you're interviewing will have more time to think and already be in the manner of answering these types of questions.
7. Understand the answers. Make sure you understand what the person is saying, understand their point of view so you can try to connect to it and work it through your video.
8. Call back if you need more information. If maybe you forgot any of these steps or watch it later and think you have something you need to add make sure to contact the person you interviewed and whenever you're interviewing them make sure you get their information that way you can do so.

                                                                                                                                                                                     

For our story idea we want to try to interview people on their opinions of use of tanning beds.

Q: How often and long do you think a person should be allowed to go and stay in the tanning bed? (if any at all)

The Day In The Life of Markers

Hannah Baldauf & Lauren Jett.

A good example of the use of the rules of thirds is whenever the markers are suppose to be under the sunset & the sunset is focused in the first row of thirds.

A bad example is whenever you see the family together because the shot is focused in the center rather than center & the top.

Differing Views on Value of High School Tests

 

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/06/sports/drug-tests-for-high-school-athletes-fuel-debate.html?smid=pl-share&_r=0

 

The title of this article is ambiguous. This article is falls into the news value of relevance and human interest because it is relevant to those teenagers who play sports or even just take drugs and it draws in readers. To sum up what is written after so many scandals of drug usage many of states decided it would be necessary to start drug testing programs that were all operated by Drug Free Sport. These programs had the right to drug test you when trying to play High School athletics. The United States Supreme Court ruled that drug testing for high school athletes was constitutional, and some middle schools were evening starting on the programs. Most of the drugs that inspired these acts were drug enhancers such as steroids. Some programs fell apart after finical issues, but some of still going strong today and are preventing drug usage all over the country. “We continue to view that our program is accomplishing what it set out to do. It’s another tool in the student’s toolbox to say no to these substances. Our program serves more as a deterrent rather than being designed to punish students.” -Kurt Gibson. 

Rule of Thirds; good and bad examples.

 

Rule of thirds is used all throughout photography and usually the ones that are bad when it comes to those rules, are the pictures that aren't very good. This picture of a baseball player on the field is a bad example of rule of thirds because there isn't a lot of head room. There is too much room off to the right, not enough "lead room". Also, there is a distraction to the main part of the picture which are the other guys in the back right.

 

This picture of a dog is a good example, even though it might look kinda like the first picture it's not. The picture is good because you can tell the dog is looking at something that is off camera. The dog's eyes are in the upper first third. The dog's body is mostly in the center. Also, there is nothing too distracting.

NOTES ON NEWS 
Broadcast Journalism is the broadcasting of news and information to the public.
 
 
List and describe the five criteria of newsworthiness.
 
1. Timeliness - Imediate, current information and events are newsworthy because they have just recently occurred. It's news because it's "new".

                           Example: Yesterday, a man was shot down in the Bardstown area.

2. Proximity - Local information and events that are newsworthy.
                      

       Example: Louisville's own PRP went to Rupp Arena yesterday to play in the sweet  16 tournament.

         
3. Conflict & Controversy - When problems or differences within the community that occurs with violence or when argument about actions, events, ideas, or policies.  

 

Example: In Washington DC a march was led down the main roadways and was taken down by violence conducted by the authorities.



4. Human Interest - News that has something most everyone would be interested in because or how unusual, amazing, or inspiring they are.

Example: A firefighter managed to save 15 life's on his own within one house fire. 

5. Relevance - Information that relates to the reader of the piece.

 

Example: A teenager was chosen to help vote on a congress decision. 

What are the differences between print journalism and broadcast journalism?

1. Print journalism edits the writing more than broadcasting.

2. Broadcast and print media also differ in how much an audience remembers the information that is placed before them.
 
3. Print media will always be around however, broadcast journalism has an immediate effect; however, it is forgotten within the next week.


How is the Internet impacting broadcast journalism?

It's helping it become faster to get and write, also it helps with resources and has more of an audience.
