Pre-Video Assignment, Myers

Good Example:

This news package is from Good Morning America. Of course, this program is one of the premier television news shows, so a good product is expected. This package included an interview, b-roll, narration and a bug graphic across the bottom of the screen throughout. I thought it was well-layered, alternating from one-on-one interview to b-roll and narration. The sequencing and mapping of the package made sense and was well done.

Bad example:

I thought this news package had some good elements to it, such as the interviews with the police officer and parent (although the sound could have been better on the police officer with a better microphone). But I found some of the b-roll to be misguided. There was a lot of just cars or buses driving in front of the school. It looked as though the news crew set up in one location and collected all of their b-roll from there. When the reporter was talking about the football coaches, the b-roll could have perhaps included video of the football field.
