Today everyone is recuperating from homecoming last week. Nonetheless we are back to our routine and our producer assigns stories. Some of us are covering stories recapping homecoming, others like myself have a little bit of both.
Unfortunately, late thursday evening, a teenage girl went missing. The press release said that she is the daughter of a FAMU employee and was with her parent late thursday evening in their office. She allegedly stepped outside for a moment around 11pm and she wasn't seen since. There was no reports about her whereabouts over the weekend besides the fact that she was missing. This morning I called The FAMU Police Department to see if I could schedule an interview with someone for updates on the story. However, their response was that the girl was found and they couldnt release any more information on the girl because she was a minor. She said there was no need for an on camera interview because that was all the information she could give. Therefore I didn't get an on camera interview but I did include what the police said in my story. This story ended up only being a reader.
My other story was about FAMU being awarded their big check this past weekend on saturday at the Homecoming Game. This was interesting and required some creativity because the event had already passed and I didn't have any footage of it. However, I pulled the story up on the FAMU website and recorded the screen and the picture of President Ammons holding the check. I got different shots and angles of the screen to make the VO interesting and relevant.
That was it for today, it was a great newscast and my video and scripts got in on time. Until next time...
