This news story was told by a weather reporter actually which wasn't any different from a normal journalist besides the addition of weather at the end. It was about the show Walking with Dinosaurs and how each of the dinosaurs are controlled.
I thought it was really interesting how the reporter ad libbed the whole segment and improvised her responses to the person she was talking to on the spot. She obviously had a set amount of time and an outline of script, but she ultimately had to report off the top of her head which shows just how good a true reporter is.
If I were to have been the reporter in this situation, I would've tried to get an interview with the people up at the top that're controlling the movements and actions of the dinosaur instead of just the person in charge of driving the dinosaur itself. I also would've possibly gotten footage from the actual show rather than solely the behind the scenes.
This Friday I'm hoping to possibly gain a mentor and internship at Fox 4 along with an idea of how the real world of broadcast journalism works. If the reporters have any tips on how to be a good journalist that will also be amazing to learn. I'm extremely excited for this opportunity.

News Story Reflection 10
This week I am doing my blog on an episode of Glee. Ainsley, Lina, and I watched an episode of Glee one day in class and learned quite a bit actually. There are many different aspects of tv shows that can be incorporated into news stories such as different shots, zooms, and how to use J and L edits.
Glee tends to use a lot of zooms in their footage to enforce certain situations within the show. I actually used a zoom in my recent story to try to put emphasis on a stand up location. I also used many different J and L edits to make the broll and interviews more fluid within the package like used in the show.
Some things they could do better are to make the shots more steady and not so shaky. The movements are also really sharp which make it kind of hard to keep track of the story line sometimes. If I were to film for the show I would make sure the shots are a little more steady and make the broll flow together better.

This news story was one that we had to look at for our quiz. It was about a bird that had somehow crashed into a plane while in the air then got stuck. Luckily the plane was able to land safely with the bird still stuck and there were no injuries except for the bird itself.
The reporter did a good job of getting interviews with the pilot and with passengers of the plane as well. They also got as much broll as possible considering the limited amount of time and information and possible footage they could get.
Some things they could've done better would be that they could've gotten more footage and tried to get more background information on certain types of birds or previous bird crash accidents that've happened in the past.

News Story Reflection 8

In this news story, the tragic mass killing in New York was covered. There were many videos used from news stations but also bystanders who filmed the incident. There were also many different interviews from people who witnessed the horrible event and parents of children who were on lockdown in school during the event. This story was done very well and the variety of interviews and shots added to the intensity of the event.
Some of the things done well in this story were that the reporter got interviews with people you wouldn't generally think would be interviewed in this type of story such as children walking the streets during the incident and also a woman who's child was in school and put on lockdown once the killing rampage occurred. I also appreciated that the reporter used videos that they themselves filmed but also videos from people who witnessed the scene.
If I were to have done anything different with this package I probably would've tried to get an interview with an NYPD member or a detective that was at the scene after the incident occurred. I might've also tried to get a little more footage of the actual rampage itself or of the person who committed the act.
I've been a leader in class this week because I finished a feature story with Roan in 2 days and then also helped Lina produce her first Raven Minute. I also produced and anchored another Raven Minute on my own in one day.
