WINOL Week 4 Debrief

A fantastic effort this week! The bulletin is really improving, however the links and headlines are still weak. In sport, they refuse to show goals in the headlines, yet show the team celebration? Surely in matches with several goals, showing one as a tease would be more productive than showing the celebration?

There was another black hole after the opening sequence. The music has been left longer, but the picture hasn't. This needs to be corrected for next week.

We went to air 20 minutes late this week, because I received an email updating one of the stories, which caused a serious legal issue that needed to be resolved.

The only points I can really bring up about the bulletin is to keep consistent. Record all voiceovers from the same place, and check the levels of the sound, especially in sport, to make sure the natural sound isn't drowning out the voice-over.

The worst part of the bulletin is the failed Colin Firth story. There are several ways we could have find a contact for an interview, and it just didn't happen. Angus said in the debrief that the address of the parents can be found in the electoral register, but nobody checked, and the story was left as an OOV.

It wasn't a perfect week, but everybody did really well, and produced a very high-quality bulletin.
