Notes

Amazingly enough, you have nothing due next week! Please use this time to think about a good topic for your final video story. You need to choose something very visual if you want to make a good video! Think of action and motion -- especially if it's something you can get your camera close to.

If you are really smart, you will plan your story by visiting the location this coming week and observing the action or activities you hope to shoot.

Now, can you transform that into a story for Reporting? Where is some ACTION that has a good news angle?
