Beginning of the First Newscasts

As I posted in the last response, a producer's first job is to get the right script. This week marked the first week of my highly anticipated midterm newscast for this semester, unprecedented of WSB-TV interns. I am preparing some SOTs and writing for the others. I have been searching for enterprise stories that will remain relevant for the audience in a few weeks. For example, the zebra escaping the circus and running down the expressway. The key for this story is finding the footage no one else has. since I wasn't at work that day I didn't get the opportunity to get my own shots but I'm hoping someone has close ups on the zebra running head on. This particular story will be different because I may have to write to the video instead of making the video speak and allowing the words to accompany. I also have to get together with reporters and anchors and choose whichj ones I want. Then figure out which shots are going to be best for which person. The one thing I don't want is a generic newscast that looks like all the other ones. so this week marks the embarking on one of two highlights of the semester.
