Today I did a package on Ben Carson's motivational speech at Florida A&M University last night. The event was in Lee hall auditorium and it was there he went into depth about his childhood, career highlights and how he came to become the first neurosurgeon of any race to separate two siamese twins joined at the head.
I started my package by logging all of the sots from the package. I had sound bites from Dr. Ben Carson himself, SGA President and Vice President Gallop Franklin and Calvin Hayes, I also got interviews with spectators of the event. After logging all of my sound bites I wrote my script. Once I finished my script in ENPS, I recorded my voiceovers. Next, I log and captured all of my video and made mental notes of all the B-Roll I had. After that I chose b-roll that matched the audio of whatever my voiceover was talking about. When I did this for all of my voiceovers and inserted my sots, I went back and adjusted audio so the natural sound wasn't competing with the voiceovers. I also left room for nat-leads and padding.
I also went live today so the anchors tossed to me as I introduced my package. Things went well, I felt great and had tons of fun in front of the camera. I had a bad audio box so I couldn't follow the show audio wise but when my package played I saw great reactions from peoples faces and our sports anchor even looked over at me and said, "great sot" so I felt confident about my package. When I went into the production room after the show ended, the feedback I got from Mike and Jeff Walker was that my story was well written and well shot but had a few jump cuts. There were no black frames or anything but as far as virtully following the story the shot sequencing was jumpy and was not consistent. He did say however that I had good a shot count.
I took in the constructive criticism and will pay more attention to shot sequencing and flow and I even plan to re-edit this package to revise those minor errors. Overall I felt great about today though and our producer Jamesha Moore ran an excellent show. Especially considering that we were light on staff.
