Written News Story Blog 
 

     Students across the US are using laptop computers to do schooling. Some people are for it and others are concerned with how it will effect students with the amount of time that they spend time on a screen. This makes it easier for the students and teachers to do school work but they are not sure how the computers will work out because of the amount of time the students will be on it. If all goes good than this could become the new normal for students across America.


When writing a news story there are a few things you need to take into consideration. First ask yourself, who?, what?, when?, where?, and how? Then you will use the inverted pyramid theory to build a good story. Start with the most important which is the lead then you'll apply who, what, when, where, why starting from most important information to least important information. I applied this to my story even though it is short it is full of information explaining the concern on giving computers to students to use for school work across America.

I like writing news stories because they get right to the point, they don't add a lot of fluff but they are strait facts and they get to the point. I think I need to work on getting a little more information on the subject to insure that they story gets its point across. I think that my stories are straight to the point so that is one thing I would not change about my story because that is what a news story is suppose to be like.
I think by the end of this project I will know how to write a good news story and I will learn a lot from it because I've never written a news story before. I can't wait to begin on this project because I am very interested in it!

                                                                 Ella Interview This week my group has been working on an interview project. We chose to do an interview on Ella who is a dancer in our class. We started the project by making questions to ask Ella, once we finished that we scouted an area to do the interview at. The nest day we asked Ella the questions and the interview began. After we finished the interview we went out and filmed broll to put in the video. Finally, after we had all our video we began working in Premiere Pro to work on the video. I had to change some of the lighting and audio to make the video flow, I also had to make a voice over.          I was the director so I was in charge of the video and i kept everyone on task and I helped film the broll. I learned to st...

                                        Video Production Final Blog ONW NOW News Story This week we worked on a news story for ONW NOW, this was our last video for the semester. This video took us about a week to do but with some set backs it took us a little over a week to finish.    We decided to film Mr. Zuck to ask about his opinion about the laptops. We had to reschedule 2 times so that threw us off track but those days we spent filming broll. Once we got an appointment we began by asking Mr. Zuck the questions we wrote about the laptops. I learned that sometimes you plans won't work out how its suppose to so we need to have plenty of back up plans to assure that we will have our film for the video. My teacher had some feedback for us that we need to have a strong back up plan so we aren't rushing to finish in the end. The original video we were planning on...
