Newscast
The assignment was to write, direct, edit, and produce a video that shows off your skills. Working with partners we needed to meet these requirements: Graphic intro similar to what you see on any 10:00 newscast. This will be animated and last at least 10 seconds. The anchor reading the headlines in your best newscaster style. This segment should last around 20 seconds and include at least 4 headlines. Create at least two minutes of video showing you presenting the news. The anchor will be at the desk with a smaller video in the background, over the anchor's shoulder. Cut to the field reporter for a live update on the story.
I took the leadership role in putting together the script and outline. We made the News of the Weird opening in Live Type. We shot everything on the green screen in our classroom. We then brought everything into Final Cut Express and took out the green screen and replaced it with a different background. Final Cut Express is where we also would put in the pictures over the news anchor's shoulder. We edited everything together and even put our bloopers at the end.
