Week 9: 8 hours

4/21

The day started as usual at 9:45, with story searching online, the conference call, and pursuing possible cases.
Pitch ideas were:
Roff teacher got fired
Bullfighting event starts tomorrow
Sports complex that opened last night

We called the City Manager, Lisa to learn more about the sports complex.
Meanwhile, the police chief reported a call saying a house had blown away south of Being by a tornado. Winds and rain had been heavy but no tornado.

We went to location and searched for the house for hours with no luck.
We approached houses for MOS and SOT. We interviewed 2 people and got turned down by about 4.

We headed back to the office to start editing the footage we had, because the station did not want us to pursue any of the other stories. While editing I learned not to make jump cuts and to keep things smooth.

We left again in hopes to find the damage in the area again and luckily got to interview a woman whose boat had been blown over into her window and trees had been split in her backyard.

This was good for a VO for 5, VOSOT for 6, and a full package for 10.

We finished scripting, editing, and sending everything in for the VO and VOSOT right before 5 and started working on the track for the package. The track is the sound by the reporter for the reporter. This is usually done last as you have to read off of the official script. We left the office at 5:45.

Cumulative Hours: 60
