For our second video project, Elyssa and I will head to the Free Skate at the Fenton Chester Arena tonight presented by CAB. There will be plenty to shoot as far as students skating, and plenty of people willing to talk about the event. We can ask members of CAB how popular this event is compared to most why people enjoy coming out for it.
Team Member Tasks

Intermediate Deadline - Courtland and Elyssa
For our video package project, we will be creating a piece about winter driving safety. The first source we reached out to is Project Roadsafe manager Norman James. James has been cooperative with News7 in the past, and is very knowledgable about driving safety related issues. Norm is always willing to meet up in Danville.
A source we have yet to reach out to, but will soon is a car dealership and/or repair shop where winter tires a sold. The goal is to ask some questions about why winter tires are necessary, and possibly get a video demonstration of a tire change for video.

Video in Newspapers
I chose the Burlington Free Press as my source for video from a newspaper. After living in Burlington for the summer, the BFP has become one of my more popular options.
My first instinct was to go to the sports tab. The first video that grabbed my attention is titled "CVU takes place among best in history."
My first reaction to the story was the lack of quality in the tracking. It sounds like whoever is reading it is tracking the story because they have to, rather than because they want to. There is a nice nat-sound bit :20 or so seconds in though which is nice.
The video is the same length in a package we would do in News7, but I think we run packages of higher quality than this. The SOT was very long, and not split up at all. He didn't introduce their SOT, and instead we heard the reporter asking the question. While it's nice to draw the emotion that this reporter did, he could have split that interview into multiple SOTs for a much stronger story. Because of this, I would say this story looks more amateur-ish, than professional.
