WINOL Sport week 3

It was a much better week for sport than last week, however there are a few issues I want to point out.

Tate - It was your first package for WINOL and it showed in some places, but saying that, no one's first package is going to be particularly good, it's just how things work.

I think that your filming of the game was OK, but you didn't zoom in enough to the action so some of the action was difficult to see. You should find a level of zoom that allows the viewer to see the action but doesn't mean that you lose the ball when filming.

The main thing wrong with the package was how late it was completed, if your bulletin VT is late then it puts pressure on the production team, but the Production Editor Nicole was fine with the bulletin sport package being in the gallery at 2.30, I believe this was the case because it was your first package, so this is something that can't happen again. Your bulletin VT being done early means you can concentrate on finishing the Sportsweek version.

Due to not completing your Sportsweek version of the highlights until after 7pm, Sportsweek went online very late. Next time you edit a football highlights package, pick out all of the usable chances
 and then copy the clips onto a new project for the bulletin. Cut out all the clips you don't want on the this package and then get it finished before the end of Tuesday. This means you have enough time to finish editing the Sportsweek version. Anything you want me to go through about this please ask.


The voiceover was OK, but it was difficult to hear on the bulletin package as the NATSOT as too loud. You turned it down on the Sportsweek version and you were easier to hear. The scripting of the voiceover could have been better but only in a couple of clips I noticed things you could change, sadly because of how the action had been filmed, you were unable to have long clips, therefore less time to talk over the footage.


Laura - I think your package was really good. It had all the elements needed in a VT of that type - a good news peg, exposition with GVs, a interview, good PTC and you taking part in the sport. Your GVs were OK but I think some close up shots should have been used.



Lewis - A definite improvement on last week and I thought the way the VT went from a feature on the football team went to WINOL Woodwork worked pretty well. I had to edit the package down quite a lot as the WW part was too long, I also added music to it as the footage on its own sounded a bit strange.

The interview was framed well, but the picture quality wasn't great and as a result it reduced the overall quality of the piece. It was unfortunate as the vice captain said some interesting things.


Charlie - Your feature on the girls Dodgeball team sounded pretty good, you had a news peg in the form of the team winning a bronze medal at a recent competition and had organised an interview with the captain of the team. It didn't work out in the end as the footage was all was too dark, especially the interview. I decided to not use the package in the end, but if there is any news from any of the Dodgeball teams, please suggest an idea for a VT to me, as it would be good to have something about Dodgeball in the bulletin or on Sportsweek this semester.


Drew - I think your footage of the Eastleigh game was pretty good, a bit shaky in places but we were able to use all of what you filmed of the goals.


You presented the bulletin sport and Sportsweek really well, a little more expression in your face would have been nice, but for a first time I thought it was pretty good.


This week coming up is very important for us as Angus Scott is coming in. The football highlights package for the bulletin should be done by Tuesday and then you should have the extended version finished by midday on Wednesday as putting this together shouldn't be too difficult as you should have a lot of the extra footage picked out already.
