The Reporting Aspect
Sorry to get to you all so late but this process is time consuming. This week was a breif introduction to field producing. I shadowed a reporter/anchor and a photographer. The story was partially put together outside of the newsroom. This taught me what I need to ask for and look for as a producer receiving a story from reporters and photogs. We needed good film to write to so I was able to see excellent camera angles and how to get them. When to use the zoom and pan features for a story. This came from a guy basically running from us because he didn't want to comment on the story. We took the film back and wrote scripts and cut the film to match it.

Were you allowed to hold the camera? Did you shoot film?
ReplyDeleteWhat do they let you do...everything?
I WISH I COULD HAVE HELD THE CAMERA. WE CAN DO EVERYTHING EXCEPT HOLD THE CAMERA, WE HAVE TO LEAVE THAT TO THE PHOTOGRAPHERS. BUT WE ASK THEM TO GET CERTAIN SHOTS FOR US. AND THEY SHOOT US IF WE ASK. WE GET TO USE ALL THE EDITING EQUIPMENT, ENG, AND PRODUCING EQUIPMENT USED DURING THE SHOWS. BUT CAMERAS ARE OFF LIMITS.
