News Production Review

I believe the the University story is suitable for the target audience as it is something all college students can relate to as they will all be thinking about the cost effectiveness of going to university and is therefore a serious story. If i were to do this assignment again i would get people who were for and against going to university to create a less biased view on the subject. My presentation style could have been more relaxed during the interviews and the technical editing side could have been a little better by leaving more of a time gap between the questions and answers. I decided only to use one quote from Olivia as only one fitted the question well, i chose non from Matt at his answering wasn't to relaxed and his reply's didn't suit the point i was getting across in the interview.

I chose to do a news story on the Berlin trip as an informative news story. I believe the story itself came across well to the target audience as the target audience are students and some of the students listening will be going on the trip or may have a chance next year to go on a similar trip so will find the information in the story useful. The story worked well because all the questions i asked were answered in full and very informative. I edited and cut down some of the reply's so there would be less of a gap in between the questions and answers.

First draft script

Its that time of the year again when students around the country are awaiting there exam results to see if they qualify for university, Although for most it is not only there results on their mind but the cost and if it provides good value for money. I spoke to several students from Eccles 6th form centre to get there thoughts.

INSERT QUOTE

This shows that more and more students are contemplating if university is actually worth the time and the debt or if it is worth going straight into work and getting paid work experience in the field they want to go into.

Questions

Do you think going to university is worth £9000 a year

Would you be happy with it being dropped to £6000 a year but you have to pay back more at a lower wage


Do you think all students wishing to take media further should go on into university or seek an apprenticeship.

Neck Nominations

This news story will be about the NekNominations game. The game involves the player filming themselfs downing drinks and posting the videos online, daring each other to out do the stunts wit increasingly large amount of alcohol or in dangerous situations. 

Draft Script

NekNominations are an online drinking game popular over social media websites mainly Facebook and Twitter. Although the game has been around for a few months it only recently came into the public eye as the deaths of two young men in Ireland were linked to the game. The aim of the game is basically someone filming themselves necking a drink usually alcoholic then nominating there friends at the the end of the video, although the friends usually try to out do each other and that's when it get dangerous. I Spoke to Jack to find out more about the craze.

Final Script

NekNominations is a drinking game that originated on the social media site Facebook. The game became big after a Scottish man filmed himself necking a beer on Christmas day and nominating everyone whos birthday it wasn't, since the game has changed and people being nominated are trying to out do each other while doing stunts while drinking or mixing alot of drinks together. It has recently received some bad publicity after at least five deaths have been linked to the game and a 9year old girl was rushed to hospital after taking part in the game. I spoke to jack rogers to see what he thought of the craze.
