WINOL critical reflections weeks 9 and 10

Week 9

I filmed a feature on Fencing in this week, but the footage was grainy and I didn’t want to use it, so I arranged to do the Fencing the next week. I had to find something to do a package on, so I interviewed Winchester City’s manager James Taylor. I turned the interview into a package about the club’s low position in the league and made light of the club being unable to be relegated and there only being 6 players at the training session that I interviewed the manager at. I felt everything went well except for the interview itself, I had to redo it as I wasn’t happy with the first interview I did. The second one went better and I think the shots I got of the players training was fine and that the package turned out OK in the end.


Week 10

I filmed the feature on Fencing in this week and the footage looked good. I used the interview from the week before as it was shot well and what the fencer said was not time sensitive. I had someone film me fencing and that footage looked good as well, except for one part but due to fencing being difficult to film and the camera being close to me and the man I was fencing, it was unavoidable.

Overall, the package was quite good as I thought I gave a good amount of information, but not too much that it would have bored viewers. It also had an element of fun, which I thought stopped it from simply being an information piece on the sport.
