Team #4 Rundown Rationale
I, Marquise Francis, was producer for this newscast along with Callan Gray as the anchor. We worked in a duo and I recieved additional help from Tim and Maddy with two reporter wraps. For the most part the newscast focused on mostly local stories and unfortunately had a few stories about death and deficit, two things that are not so positive. Even so, I did my best to have the flow of the newscast go from one story to the next and connect in some way.
A2. Watson Funeral was the lead out of the opening that was a bit lively. The Watson story I felt had to lead because it has been the biggest story of the past few weeks and has had the community on full alert. It was done as a reader to ease into the cast and has a nice mood to it.
A3. The second story also had to do with death as it was another big story that had to do with a car crash. Two cars were involved with elderly individuals losing control of their vehicles. This was another reader that went well because it would work up to more local story after it and still had tragedy connecting fromt he first story.
A4. The third story was a live wrap from Tim that stayed local, but got away from tragedy. Flowed with the second story after a tragedy that probably needed more safety because this story was all about increased safety on the Oswego River. This live wrap broke up the readers and was a different voice from the anchor. The new safety measures of the river had to do with rising waters and such things.
A5. The next story was an anchor actuality that is most recent and still affecting people in the community. Over 500 people in the county have lost power and over 9,000 in the state. This was a great anchor actuality local story done by Callan and stayed as a local story from Oswego River.
A6. The next story was a recorded wrap done with the help of Maddy. It was about the AIDS vigil celebrating AIDS day today celebrating those who have passed away because of the struggle, survived from it and continue to fight. This was an uplift story after all of the sad stories of the newscast. It was well done.
A7. The next story went national with a Presidential Obama panel pushing leaders to make hard choices about the deficit. This was a nice slide into national news and would lead more into the last reader. It was another good story that was not sad. It flowed fromt he aids wrap into more national news.
A8. This was the final reader that flowed lovely from the national deficit story into a final local story that explained how New York State's budget is doing.
A9. This teased into the teaser about Kim Kardashain and AIDS help.
B1. This was a great kicker tying into the AIDS story about Kim Kardashian posing in a coffin and retiring from Twitter for a great cause. This flowed and ended the news portion because it was not sad and actually quite uplifting.
B2. The weather went well and in the newscast we were able to read most of it.
B3. We ended on time and it was a great show.
Z1-2. I had two kickers prepared, but we didn't even need them.
