NAIT NewsWatch – Entertainment – Wine & Food Festival

NAIT NewsWatch – Entertainment – Wine & Food Festival

My third position for NAIT NewsWatch this semester was Entertainment Host/Reporter.

This meant I was in charge of:

– Coming up several entertainment-related story ideas that would fill my segment (about 5 minutes)
– Arrange and conducting interviews
– Shooting and editing all stories
– Writing and voicing all stories
– Read the leads/voice over LIVE in studio!

I was really excited for my week doing Entertainment because for the longest time I had solely wanted to be an entertainment reporter (I still would love to have a job doing entertainment but now I am also open to news and other aspects of the industry as well!)

Here is a story on the Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival that I did for that week!

Overall I really liked my shots for this, I wish I had MORE shots so I didn’t have to use the board but I just didn’t want to have random cooking shots that weren’t specifically referencing what I wanted to talk about so I opted for the board!

There were technical difficulties on the day of the in-studio filming that did affect my segment and this was the story when the major technical difficulties happened so the on camera lead I ended up reading wasn’t actually my lead and the voice over script did not originally match up to what they should have been — this particular story has been re-voiced and re-put together. That also explains the changes in audio!

My instructors / executive producers gave me great critique. I had a solid line up, lots of variety, good writing, good shots and good delivery. I ALWAYS think my delivery could be better and given the technical difficulties that were going on at this point in the cast I was pretty bummed out, but I am happy that everything else turned out good! :) This was also my first and only week of the semester on camera in-studio, so it was a pretty important week for me!
