WINOL Week 1 Debrief

This weeks bulletin can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/winolnews

There were many problems with this weeks bulletin: Black holes after the headlines, caused by not leaving the shots long.
Scripting errors: Winchester City is said twice in two headlines, may have sounded better as Winchester City Centre, followed by Winchester City (F.C)
The wrong camera shots were used at the wrong times in the studio and there was also a slight issue with sound levels during the breaking news story.

Headline: "2,000 homes may be built" Do not use maybe. Maybe also means maybe not.

The Barton Farm package had a very quiet voice-over, and the shot of the field was left a little too long, as well as slightly shaky camerawork. The studio presenters were not muted during this package, and a cough can be heard over the voice-over.

After the crime package, there is a long pause in the studio, and it seems neither presenter knows what is happening. Also, the first few seconds of the sports presenting, Cara's arm can be seen in shot.

In the Winchester City football package, the voice-over is fighting with the tannoy, and the natural sound is far too loud to be able to clearly hear the voice-over and as-live commentary.

The sports graphic needs improving with images, as it is just a red screen with

There is a long pause before the Basingstoke package, and when the VT is finally played, there is no sound over it. This was supposed to be an OOV, but an error in the gallery meant the presenter was muted.

The final handover should have been a 2-shot, as when Gareth hands over to Cara, it changes from a one-shot of Gareth, to one of Cara in which Gareth has completely disappeared.

It was a very good effort on everyone's part for the first week back, but there were many small mistakes made, which need to be tackled ready for next week.

There were a variety of sign-offs used in the packages this week, and so it has been decided that the sign off is {Name}, Winchester News Online, {Location}.
