Overall in the story i noticed that he used close-ups a lot. He would be close to his face or to the bow and what he was currently working on. I liked how he would show you what he was doing and explain it and then when that part was all done he would show you the finished product. I also noticed all the natural noises he had in the story, he would be talking and you could hear him working and it overall just added to the story. Since many people don't know all the parts of a bow I thought it was cool that he explained what things were and talked about them a little.

The Components of a Broadcast Story

This is how a story is put together.

 1. Topic: Cross country running the football to the game
2. Focus Statement: Cross country team runs ball far
3. Sound Bites to use in the interview: "Our cross country team holds traditions very dear to us." Blond kid at the beginning
4. We Shoot B-Roll to complement the sound bites: Overhead shot of them running down the highway
5. stand-up: Linking shot when they're passing the football off
6. Voice Overs as Seques between interviews: They didn't realize how far away it actually was.

Reading 2

I thought it was interesting how he related stories to onions in the sense that they have many layers. I also really liked how he said to relate it to you, and to use something personal that may catch the viewer’s attention. It may not be a lot that they share but I always like when I hear that they share something a little more personal. It makes me feel like I know them a little better can relate to them which makes them more real to me. I never really thought of the three thing but it makes a lot of sense to have things in threes. It flows a lot better than something just being by itself or it there is only two.

In this story many surprises arise. One being that their name got called. After that first surprise there was them winning, them giving the money back and then the boys going to a hockey camp, a Vikings games and many events because of their honesty of doing the right thing and giving the money back.  There is also the active voice of the father in the story. He was sort of the voice of reason, by explaining why they thought it was wrong. The whole family together decided to give the money back but the dad really explained why they gave it back and why it didn’t feel right to them. Defeating the TV remote was also shown in this by the way they describe the hockey rink. They pull the reader in by describing it in such detail.

In the beginning of the story there is one big surprise that I did not see coming. They have 12 boys and have had a boy on the football team since 1989. Also the fact that they have 49 grandkids was a bit of a surprise even though it shouldn’t be. There is also an active voice in the video.  The voice of the narrator, who you can hear in the background but then, also makes appearances throughout while talking to the parents or the boys.  He talks in threes by saying “In this night, at this time, all they want is a little more time on the clock.”

Make it memorable

1.  One thing I noticed about how he writes is that he likes to ask questions, and then answer them. Multiple times throughout the book he asks a question and will tell you how he would go about doing it. “How do you write a longer story at the speed of spot news? This is how I do it: “(20, Dotson).  He also breaks it all up into little paragraphs and titles the paragraphs so even if you skim through you can still get what he wants you to understand and what he wants you to learn.
2.  I learned different ways to write a script and when writing a script, how to make it good. He said how most people answer the question and why they answer it that way. He also said that when you’re writing a script that it would be easiest to start in the middle.  He also said that you shouldn’t throw any thoughts away. You may not need them now but they may come in handy later and be able to help you with another part of the story.
3. With the scripts on the left side it is explaining the action that is going on and what the people in the shot are doing and the right side it what they are saying and who is saying what. The right side is the dialogue that is going on between them and the narration that is happening.
4.  In this video he is confronting her on something that happened and they are sitting across from each other as they talk. The room is bright and has a lot of natural light coming in. They are in a comforting setting with flowers around them and warm colors to make it comforting.  As for foreshadowing he kind of brings up things he wants to touch on later in the story and makes that known. He brings up how he thinks that she know what she did was wrong and that it would be hard for her to tell her kids. You can tell what is going to be brought up and what is going to be touched on.  He talks about her arrest and how she delt with it and asked what was going on and why it got to that point. She knew what she did was wrong and you can tell that she truly was sorry. She said she took full responsibility and looking back knew that it was wrong and in the future is going to be much more careful and safe. You could tell that she knew she was acting childish when she is an adult and has children of her own to take care of. She knows that this experience has helped her grow and that she doesn’t know everything like she thought she did.

Changing Identity

1. Identify and explain as many WALLDO shots as you can.

• Low- When he was making toast the camera was looking up from under the counter, also when he was walking down the stairs the camera was at the bottom of the stairs. When he was playing with his dog
• Linking- When it goes from the windchimes to his face
• Angle- When he is playing the piano, it is shot from a low angle so you can just see his hands and it isnt coming straight on. When he is putting jelly on the toast
• Depth- When he puts his bread in the toaster and when he takes it out
• Opposite- When he is taking his bread out of the toaster and hey get the shot from right at the wall

2. What is Natural Sound?

• Natural sound is the normal sounds you would hear at any given moment taking into concideration what the activity is. If you were at a basketball game it could be dribbling of the ball.

3. Identify several examples of Natural Sound in this story?

• When he is putting Jelly on the toast you can hear the knife in the jelly
• When he is talking outside you can kind of hear cars going past and the nature outside
• can hear the toaster poping up
• Dog barking
• Him playing the piano

4. How does Natural Sound enhance the story?

• It helps so it isn't dead silent in the video other than their talking. It's kind of background sound so there isn't just an awkward silence.

WALLDO

6 Camera Angles

• Wide- Many subjects in one scene
• Angle- Shoot at an angle, not always staight on
• Low- Put the camera below the person, get down on the ground
• Linking- Can tell 2 stories with one shot, pan left to right
• Depth- Can show creativity, having something in the foreground and backgroung
• Opposite- Action/ reaction, get the action and then the reaction, film from a way you normally wouldn't
