PROJECTS
As producers, students have to identiy and make
arrangements or their subjects, choose and secure
locations, prepare equipment, arrange the preparation
and set up o the locations, and make inal technical
checks. Student journalists are required to edit and
deliver their projects or viewing and critiques. Projects
to be completed are:
VO (4-WEEK AND 8-WEEK WORKSHOPS):
In the VO project students use video and natural sound
to help tell a story. Each student chooses a topic,
shoots video, writes copy, narrates and edits a 30
second segment.
VOSOT
(4-WEEK, 8-WEEK & EVENING WORKSHOPS):
The VOSOT is comprised o video, the natural sound
associated with that video and a short sound bite to
tell a story. The video rolls over the anchorman or
reporter speaking and then opens up ull or the sound
on tape (SOT). Students shoot their own ootage,
conduct interviews, write, narrate and edit the VOSOTS.
Completed projects run approximately 45 seconds.
VOSOT WITH STAND-UP (4-WEEK, 8-WEEK):
Students learn introductory techniques o “stand-ups.” The
stand-up, the on-location appearance o the reporter on
camera, will be written, taped and added to the VOSOT.

An in depth interview is an important way to use a
character to tell a story. Students learn to identiy good
interview subjects, good locations and work on the skills
and techniques o asking questions that elicit news, a
good story and/or important inormation. Each student
inds an interview subject who has a newsworthy tale to
share. Students conduct the interview and write a script
that uses the subject’s responses to tell the story. The “in
your own words” piece will run, approximately, 1 minuteand 30 seconds.
THE NEWS PACKAGE:
(8-WEEK AND EVENING WORKSHOPS)
A package is an individual stand-alone news segment
that airs within a broadcast or webcast.
