2019 MAGAZINE FEATURE ASSIGNMENT #3: (Holiday Themed?)
Produce with a partner your own feature story segment for our full-length magazine show that will be aired on Elgin/South Elgin cable access station, Channel 17. As you know, our time slot will either precede or follow the televised school board meetings that appear on the same station. This gives us an exciting opportunity to connect with community stakeholders that value what's going on within our school district. Do produce something that fits well into a show like this, please remember the following:
- SUMMARIZE the facts and general information about the story.
- PARAPHRASE the ordinary things that people say. "'So and so' says that..." "According to so and so..."
- SOUNDBITE the extraordinary things that people say. These are the things that are best stated by the experts themselves.
-This isn't HARD news... Therefore, you have the opportunity to again explore your style and get creative with the way that you shoot your piece. J-cuts, cutaways and B-roll are a must; your VO will drive and enhance the visuals, not-to-mention setup your sound bites.
All other production standards are in play (see attached learning targets/rubric). Whatever you produce should be able to ALWAYS standalone...meaning, if anyone watched your piece it would play as a cohesive narrative-- it doesn't need any other part of the magazine show to make sense!
YOU MAY WORK WITH A PARTNER (AS SEGMENT PRODUCERS) and turn in your work as a PAIR for evaluation. As such, the turnaround time will be shorter than if you were working alone. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR FINISHED, POLISHED and METICULOUSLY prepared segment completed by the end of class on MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2019.
