The document summarizes feedback received from peers on news stories. The feedback was mostly positive, noting that the stories were clear, concise, and relevant to the target student audience. Some criticism indicated that a few stories were too long and boring. To improve, the author would make the stories shorter so as not to lose the audience's interest. Overall the process of gathering, editing, and delivering the stories went well, but the author gained insight on areas that could be strengthened in the future based on the peer reviews.
1. News Stories Review
I have sent out a link to my peers to see what their opinion is on my news stories, I wanted
to get feedback in so I can analyse and try and improve in whatever needs improving. This
review will be for all my stories. From the responses that I have gathered they have been all
positive but also received some slight criticism.
For my first question I asked whether my news stories were all clear and concise, the results
that I received showed that I did which was very good. Listening back to my stories I thought
that I spoke clearly so I had confidence that I would receive good feedback in that area.
For my second question I asked whether my stories were relevant to my target audience,
again I received good feedback. I tried to make my stories relatable as much as possible to
my target audience which were students.
In terms of editing I found it quiet easy, with some help of my teacher I found even easier.
When I gathered my interview, the raw footage was about 2 minutes long. To make it
snappier and short, I had to cut pretty much some of the whole length for all stories. Reaper
was the software that I used to edit my footage. I tried to get quotes from them, to make it
snappy. I had some hardware difficulty with the recording kit. I didn’t quite know how to use
them, even though I’ve used them before I still had problems, but with some help of my
teacher I managed to overcome it.
The criticism that I received were things such as my stories possibly might have been too
long and some found it boring. If I were to this again I would improve on my story length,
some of the stories were quiet long so therefore it got very boring for my target audience.
Other than that, overall I think I did pretty well in terms of delivering the story and gathering
the story. If we were to do this again in the future I would know what I could improve on
based on my feedbacks from my peers.
