Last reading assignment

 55 thru 71: Bob Dotson explains to us that being a good reporter isn’t from the person it’s from the interviewer. They make the story better and more interesting to watch. So that’s why it’s the reporter’s job to make the story very exciting and not boring to watch. For instance if your reporting someone about something “drama” wise that happened you’d probably want to start the story off  by something blowing up or the something big your drama wise your reporting on something active then explain what there watching. Because pictures are very big things.

Mudhouse Stand-Up (Megan's Stand- Up)

Everybody knows to come downtown to the mudhouse for a great cup of coffee, but nobody wants coffee when its a 105 degress. For coffee shops like the mudhouse there is one way to beat the heat and that's the offer refreshing cold drinks. Another great thing about the mudhouse is once you get your drink and sit down there's alot of great art work.

Reading 1-41

What do you notice about the way he writes? Use specific examples, please. (75 words)    

I’ve noticed he kind of jumps story to story when he writes but he’s unique at it, he actually makes scene and knows how to use it right. When most people jump story to story it just gets listeners to zone out or not listen. Not only is he teaching us how to be a better video person or speaker but he’s also telling us how it’s important to never gave up and always give it your all and always try.

                                                                                                                                                                                        




What did you learn from reading pages 9 to 27? (75 words)
I've learned that being very clear about storys and telling the full story catches
the viewers eyes and makes them want to hear the full story. Also everytime they tell you a story
always try and relate to there story like "Oh yeah I know what you mean". Always remember the 3 review.
. The Rule of Threes
. Filling the Silence
. The Non-Question/Question

If it gets hard to get a starting point always start with a Non-Question/Question





   With the scripts: What do suppose is described in each column? Why would it be split like that? What else is interesting about the scripts? (50 words)
It is a split point to every story Bob Dotson is telling. He first starts with writing little notes for himself then he starts a little rough draft then starts his actually paper to do his interview story. He puts notes down on what he also needed to do better or what he should have brought with him to make the interview better. Also how many tapes he used and batteries he used and count them and keep track. 




On Page 34 (and to the end of the section), Dotson writes about a long-form feature. Find one of these (a story at least 4 minutes long) on a TV news magazine such as Rock Center, 20/20 or 60 Minutes. Then, give and explain examples of how the storyteller uses the five bulleted traits Dotson gives on Page 34. (200 words)
 . Scene setting
    Get the person your interviewing ready by doing the lighting and fixing the camara and also 
     checking if the tape is working and if its clear and and won't fell up to easily and check if the microphone is working and help the person put it on if they need it (Always ask if they need help).
