This week I presented the WINOL bulletin, which went well overall, but it had a lot of technical issues when it came to the live recording, and one legal issue. The auto-cue failed during the first link, so I attempted to cover it from memory but we chose to re-record it as we had to re-record the end of the bulletin due to the fact the tape had stopped recording. We also had to re-record the link into the "rave" package as the original link contained legal issues. I think my presenting skills need a lot more work as I think I come across quite rigid and I am probably not as relaxed as I should have been.
The headlines were very good this week, Ian suggested that we possibly could have gotten away with having four on this occasion. However Brian stated that overall the order of the bulletin was completely wrong, which I think really comes across when you watch the bulletin back. Zeenas health story should have been much higher up the bulletin as it was a very strong and well put together package.
The OOV's are another thing that we can't seem to get quite right still. The words aren't matching the pictures which causes a real headache when it comes to reading the bulletin. In future the script writer needs to see the OOV's well in advance, write the script, get the timings right with the presenter and then just leave it alone. The problem seems to come when the OOV script is changed at last minute so it throws the timing off.
Eye-lines still cause a lot of problems, we have a lot of interviewees "looking up into space" which just looks odd for the viewer. Make sure that when you interview someone you sit at eye level with them, because naturally they will look at you when they respond to your questions.
