Another success for WINOL this week, production went very well and once again the team was very calm and controlled. Domonique was so helpful today as there were a few people who had changed roles and she made sure we all knew what we had to do. I had changed roles from autocue to vision mixing this week, which was daunting as we were doing an outside broadcast for the sport section of the bulletin. This was our aim for this week and it worked very well. Drew set up the OB kit, which meant we were able to cut to Jake presenting the news from the side of the football pitch, as oppose to inside the studio. When this idea was first pitched we were expecting the sport presenter to have to memorise the script, but we discovered an iPhone application called ‘iPrompt’ allowing the phone to act as an autocue. Knowing this means we can more ambitious with our scripting in future for news, features and sport as we won’t have to worry about memorising anything.
In terms of the news, within the debrief it was said that the news was weak and the news team should aim to be more ambitious, especially as there are a few guest editors coming in within the next few weeks. One of which is Tom Hepworth from BBC South.
The sports team were told they are doing very well and receiving a lot of hits on the website –
www.winol.co.ukOne thing that was pointed out was that when a package is made, whether it be for news, sport or features, it should be put onto the website first before then advertising that it is on YouTube as we then lose hits on WINOL. This was pointed out after Justina’s Polish bulletin received 191 views on YouTube before it was even put on the website.
Our goals now are to begin planning the entertainment shows for WINOL, which will give the whole team further experience on all aspects of production.
