WINOL Sport week 4

Laura - I thought your highlights package was probably the best that we've had this semester. Your filming was pretty good, but you didn't zoom in close enough to the action and as a result the action was a little hard to see in some clips, but the footage from the second camera gave the viewer another perspective and allows you to see the action better. Your voiceover was too descriptive but you mixed the natural sound well with your voiceover. This meant that we could still hear the NATSOT but not so much that your voice was drowned out.


Tate - Overall I thought it was a good piece and with a bit of cleaning up it would have been a really good item as the quotes Ben Strevens gave you were good. Your piece to camera worked at the start as it is a feature interview, not a serious news piece. You sounded tinny and I don't know why that has happened. Did you try to turn down background noise on FCP? You also repeated what I had said in the link as soon as the package started.

Your choice of cutaways was good and considering we only had one game to work with, you did well to show Strevens in all the clips. I thought you could have used some pictures of him as cutaways. You would have been able to get a couple of images cleared for use somehow. You could have contacted some of his former clubs as I am sure they would have had something for you to use e.g when he mentioned Brentford and Crawley it would have been nice to have pictures of him playing for Brentford and Crawley.


Charlie - Your Dodgeball package was pretty good but it still had a few problems. The main one was that the interview wasn't framed correctly. Angus went through this with you and you know for next time to leave the camera recording with the interviewee looking at where you will be standing when you are asking the questions, this means that you can adjust the shot before you begin the interview. If you want me to go through this with you, please say.

The next problem with the package was that you assumed prior knowledge of Dodgeball. How quick does winning a game in 16.5 seconds compare to the speed of how quickly Dodgeball games are usually finished in? The viewer needs to know.

The footage of Dodgeball was pretty good and had 'people doing things', which is something we want to see. Once again, your voice was too quiet and I know you talk quietly but make your voiceover a bit more expressive. It is a sports feature, so be enthusiastic!


If any of you want me to talk to you about what I have said, please ask.
