Digital News- Rough Cut review

While in class watching the rough cut it was pointed out that the reporter and the anchor do not match in style. Our reporter Mark is casual and relaxed, even conversational with the audience. Whereas our Anchor Ren, although language used was conversation the constant looking at the paper is making concentrating on what she is saying is taken away. We have decided to do a re-shoot with Ren in which we will use an auto-cue app on the iPad and hold it near the camera so it will appear as if Ren is talking to the camera/audience.

Digital News- Script

This is the script with the trolling story almost complete it has the 5 points that are needed that are the ones to do with trolling and the prevention. I found most of these points with the help of a police website, NSPCC and CyberSmile.

Here is the research that we did before creating the script;

Digital News- Rough Cut

We have some critics of the rough cut before we even hand it in;

• Music is too loud
• Ren is too quiet
• Green screen work is not finished 
• 'Split screen' graphics are not needed
• Vox pops sound is off
• Bono part has sound for a dew seconds but then the sound goes as he talks making it a harsh sound cut 
• No end anchor 

Most of the issues are on sound, I have expressed these issues with my group but Andrei has reassured me that in the next cut will be better.  

Digital News- Social Media Update

While Andrei was completing the rough cut i decided to make sure the social media side odour digital news was constantly up to date. Mark was able to create The logo through photoshop and then I went through and made sure it was on all the accounts.

Digital News- Hang out

We had a hang out on Thursday 30th October in the morning to know how much we needed to do before the formative hand in.

I wrote done in brackets next to the ones I had completed, my main list was the writing in pink but I did do some other things.

Hangout Notes

Digital News- Social Media

As we are meant to be a digital news channel I thought it may be important to start social media accounts, we have created our own YouTube channel with our email and now I have created a Twitter, Instagram and Facebook account. All of our accounts are waiting to be posted in but all have the admins of the whole group therefore everyone has access.

The descriptions on the website are a bit bare at the moment and I still need to reference the other networking sites that we are on. I haves tried to link the social media sites but I am unsure of my success. 

Digital News- Research

While looking into what could be advised by councillors we found that the person I originally contacted suggested we turn to online sources to have a look into the issue. We decided to carry on looking at the internet but I found an poster on the UCA Rochester campus about bullying/harassment, I sent an email to the first name on the list;

'Dear Mark Wells,

I am doing a university project called digital news, on of our news stories is looking at cyber bulling and 'trolling' online, I was hoping you could give me some tips about how to handle/avoid these types of issues or what you would recommend someone to do. As this is bulling/harassment I thought you would be able to help, if not please can you suggest another place for this information. 

Kind Regards 

Roxanne Meats'

Hopefully they respond to the email with some relevant information if not there are more addresses available and some phone numbers. 

Looking into the internet side of things I found that the information was the same and slightly irrelevant, I went through the articles collected online, deleted those that were mainly options and wrote the key points of the others under the web address in bullet points.
