http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/ashley-judd-describes-alleged-harvey-weinstein-encounter-50731307
This news package was about the sex allegations made towards famous producer Harvey Weinstein. It went into an interview with famous actress Ashley Judd and Diane Sawyer about Judd's experience with Weinstein. Sawyer did a very good job of making sure there was always gnat noise, that her voice overs matched up, and also gave a variety of pictures and videos. The way that her voice overs perfectly summed up and lead into the next sound bytes flowed very well.
If there were anything I would change, I would possibly try to get more than the one interview with Judd and try to find at least one more of the supposed 60 women who claimed they had been sexually assaulted as well. However, overall I believe this story was done very well and kept me intrigued the whole 8 minutes.
I'm going to make sure that when I do stories that I have many different shots or pictures, multiple interviews, and keep the gnat noise going. Also, I am going to try to use the sound bytes of the subject to base my voice overs and lead ins off of.
I was not the most productive this week considering I did not have a story nor did I produce this week. However, I tried to be as helpful as I could by helping Ainsley with her lead-in and assisting Dema in her script writing.

News Story Reflection 3
http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/10/us/california-fires-napa/index.html
This news package was about the fires in California and how it has been effecting people. While the reporter never talked and used text instead, they still did a very good job of relaying the message that was necessary for the package to be successful. There were many different interviews which was very good and made the story really impactful. There were also many different shots instead of the video being repetitive.
The only thing I think the reporter could've done to make this story the best it could be is that they could've done a stand up in one of the effected areas or any voice overs at all.
I'm going to implement the fact that they used so many different interviews and used the sound bytes from those to essentially create the story. I believe it was more impactful when their perspectives help form the script of the package.

In this package, the reporter did a good job of finding multiple different pictures instead of repeating the same one over and over. She also used her tone of voice to keep the story flowing which prevented it from being boring.
If there was anything I would change if I did this story, I would have tried to find video of the accident and put that in there as well as trying to get an interview with the coach or a doctor or even one of the other Celtics players.
I'm going to take her tone and rhythm of how she speaks in my news stories and especially when I'm anchoring to keep the show interesting and make people want to watch it.

News Story Reflection 6
http://www.bbc.com/news/video_and_audio/video_experience_headlines
The news story in this segment was about a woman who's heart stopped in the middle of her sisters wedding. She was walking down the isle as the maid of honor when all of a sudden she collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital unexpectedly.
While this story is not an actual package and is mostly an interview, I think the reporter did a very good job about making the subjects feel comfortable and keeping the conversation going. They didn't just ask yes or no questions, instead she asked questions that could be answered in detail. The communication between the anchor and the subjects was done very well and they kept the conversation going the whole time.
If I were to do something different with this story, I would've tried to find actual footage from the wedding instead of just using pictures. The collaboration between the anchor and the videographer was not as good as it could've been. I liked how they had a variety of different pictures thought so it wasn't repetitive.
To make sure I've used my time effectively this week, I have been checking in to see if there's ever anything I can do and if there isn't stuff for eComm to do, I would do other class work to ensure that I am up to date on all my work.

News Story Reflection 5
http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/02/us/las-vegas-shooter/index.html
This past weekend, there was a large mass shooting in Las Vegas during a Jason Aldean concert killing 50 and injuring over 400. The shooter was identified as Stephen Paddock from Mesquite, Nevada. He was on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel with at least 8 weapons consisting of rifles and more.
This story was mostly of a stand up but it was done very well both technically and reporting wise. They got both the reporter and the subject in the shot but closed in on the subject when he was giving his answers. The reporter did a nice job of talking to the subject himself rather than looking into the camera. Also, they had shots of live footage from the scene playing on the side which was nice so it wasn't just two people talking.
What I would've done differently in this story was I probably would've tried to go a little more in depth of the scene and what the subject was feeling rather than just having him describe what Jason Aldean was doing. The reporter could've done that by communicating to the subject before the interview and let them know what exactly they wanted to come out of the interview.
The way that I've been a leader in this class recently is that I've produced 4+ episodes of ONW Now and have helped the juniors with things they don't yet know. I've also taught people how to use Rundown Creator and have begun training Addison on how to produce.
