4th day of Journalism Workshop

The class was taught some video editing techniques and script writing skills. We were taught to write hard news and feature news. As the word "hard" suggests, it is hard to write one simple voice over (VO) in just 50 seconds!

A VO is a journalist reading from a script while a video is playing. It is hard to do this. CNA (ChannelNewsAsia) buys feeds from wire services; Reuters and AP(Associated Press) The feed is just send with lots and lots of information and the journalist have to take out which are not important.

After that, we just chatted with Suzanne and asked her more questions. We asked her what are the ethics of journalism and the techniques of asking questions.

We then had pizza sponsored by who else, Suzanne. She bought 3 large pizzas and we ate! We had so much fun interacting with each other as we felt comfortable with each other. Here are some pictures we took... enjoy !!
