Steve Hartman, a journalist on CBS, started a series called, "Everybody has a story. In this series he would throw a dart at a map, travel to the random location the dart hit, then thumb through the a telephone book and randomly point out a name and number. And if they agreed to let him interview them that his story. I watched two very different Steve Hartman Stories, One on a retired cafeteria worker who continued to give out and make food for her community, and a woman who thought she had nothing to say, despite loving and caring for her two foster kids, whom she considers her own. These stories were very systematically put together using the, "HEY you, see, so" method that Steve Hartman created himself. He would first get the viewers attention with his unconventional way of finding a story then, no matter who you were he would relate it back to the viewer. The see, so steps were when Hartman would then tell his story and evoke some form of emotion from his viewer. I encourage all to go and watch his stories. I have a link to the videos I watched below.
For the past couple weeks the Broadcast tech class has been working and practice on how to stage a professional interview. We are learning how to form a story, position the camera, and get the right answers from our interviewees that we need for the story.
After reviewing my practice interview with the class, they helped me to see that my listening skills and light placement in the interview needs improvement. I excited to continue learning about and working on my interviews in our next project. If you'd like to see my end product with the cut soundbites from my interview, they are available on the "my videos" page to the left or click on the button below. Thanks for watching! |
