WINOL week 4.

So, haven't blogged for a bit. I'm getting stuff together to blog on HCJ at the minute. I thought I would update you on the most recent WINOL. So. I had gone out and filmed my package before the news meeting had come round. I had followed the volunteers on the 'Big Tidy Up' which is an event organised by the university to clean up the local area. I had spent ages thinking about what shots I wanted and the interviews I should get. It took a couple of hours to get together and finding that only SEVEN students had volunteered I decided that that should be my angle. I've realised, doing journalism in Winchester, NO ONE will bad mouth anyone, especially not at the university. So explaining my footage at the news meeting on Monday, we decided it wasn't strong enough and went to film fair trade instead. Making the 'rubbish flop' story a nib. I went out and filmed and edited both, but as i was presenting could not voice the VT which Kayleigh James did for me instead, a very good job too! I feel like I did a really good job on filming the nib, but as fairtrade was really rushed and last minute I didn't put as much thought into the detail. The story was better for fairtrade than for the big tidy up though. So I clearly have to work on my putting together of stories.
I had finished and handed in all the times in/out words and links with fifteen minutes to spare. Now all I had to worry about, was presenting.
To be honest, I wasn't as nervous about presenting as I had been the previous week. I think confidence helped me as well. Over coming my 'glottlestop' is something that will come with practice but I feel like I tried extremely hard throughout my own part in the bulletin. Everything was very calm in the gallery and having time to go over and over the bulletin made me feel a lot better and a lot less rushed. I found myself really enjoying it this week, and hope next week goes even better! Especially as the BJTC are in!
