Nonlinear story

For my nonlinear story I think am going to use one of my orginial reporting blogposts and add on to it for one of the articles. Alos, for the second article I have some ideas but I'm not sure yet. One idea is to do another audio or slideshow on one of the personal trainers at burdick, another athlete, or one of the on campus nutritionalists in the health center. Or, I might just do another short story one of those people instead.

Video Editing

I watched the Nightly News with Brian Williams about the earthquake in Italy. They used a variety of editing techniques to enchance the video of the quake. First, there was movement in almost everty shot; whether it be rescue workers digging for victims or the abulance trucks. Also, there was squenced and matched action, when the ambulance trucks would move, the next shot was the rumble and fallen buildings with resuce workers. The reproter also did a good job of introducing the speaker and not parroting. They also created a mood of somberness by having the shots more slowly paced and more spaced out.
