Standupsandvoicing
Standups are any on-camera presence by a reporter that establishes credibility and builds a relationship with viewers. They help audiences make sense of complicated topics by demonstrating or substituting for a lack of visuals. Effective standups are planned as an integral part of telling the story. Reporters should know where their standup fits in the narrative, what the audience already knows, and what soundbites will be used before and after. When voicing, reporters should mentally prepare by thinking they are sharing what they learned in a conversational tone. Physically preparing involves relaxing the neck and jaw, taking deep breaths, and warming up vocal muscles.

Choosingsoundbites
The document provides tips for selecting effective soundbites for interviews. It recommends that soundbites be clear, authentic, subjective, and passionate. Soundbites should convey a complete thought and keep the audience's attention, while running between 5-15 seconds. Interviewers should ask the right questions to elicit noteworthy and distinctive quotes, and avoid long or factually inaccurate responses. The biggest mistakes are letting soundbites run too long, choosing predictable bites that offer nothing new, or having responses that seem rehearsed rather than authentic.
Writingtovideo
Here are 3 potential soundbites from the list:
"Football is life for us." - This succinctly captures the central role that football plays for this family.
"We won a big game in overtime. He made some throws and I’m saying hey, those look pretty good for somebody in the sixth or seventh grade” - This provides insight into Joe Burrow's early talent and family support at a young age.
"If you can’t follow directions when you’re tired during the summer, you’re not going to be very good against Auburn in the fourth quarter when you’re tired and there’s a 100thousand screaming fans in your ear." - This bite emphasizes the work ethic

Storyformats jcm331 sp19
This document outlines different formats for television news stories, ranging from the simplest to most complex. The simplest format is a reader, which is a short anchor-read story without video. A full screen graphic allows for a visual while the anchor speaks. A voiceover story includes brief video clips while the anchor reads a script. A VOSOT adds an interview excerpt to a voiceover. The most complex format is a package, which can include voiceover, soundbites, reporter narration, and standups integrated together in a 1-1.5 minute video story.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

JCM 331 package breakdown
- 1. Breaking Down Packages JCM 331
- 2. Package Evaluations On camera teases, live shots, and standups show what you know about performing, personality, story organization, and how to use your location and backgrounds to tell a story. The foundational elements of a package is what everyone in the broadcast industry will judge: Writing style: using natural sound, soundbites, video, and reporter voiceover to tell the story Video: did you shoot enough good video to illustrate your story angle? Soundbites: Did you shoot them in bumping heads? Do you use them well enough where they make sense to make an objective story? Did you let them talk too much? Reporter Voiceover: Write facts that complement and set up your soundbites. Don’t “mimic” or parrott (say the same thing) as your soundbite Natural sound: Use it to set the scene for your story with natural sound pops. You should hear sound throughout the package under video and have other pops of sound that help you feel like you are there with the reporter.
- 3. Package Requirements 4 Essential Elements for a Pkg: Natural sound Reporter Voiceover B-roll/Video Soundbites (at least 2) Packages may also have: Live introductions and live tags by a reporter Standups: Opening, closing, or bridges **Required in JCM 331: Standup Bridge
- 4. Standups: Appear on camera inside the package and you illustrate a point about the story with active movement, props, etc., that must make sense; *approximately 10 secs or less/2 sentences to get point across Opening & closing standups are easier but illustrate weaker writing Standup bridges : Appear in the middle of packages to bridge one side/issue of your package to the other side News directors would rather see standup bridges from beginning news reporters Live shots in the field many times replace any sort of standup when there’s a package
- 5. Package Steps: 16 UA Head Football Coach Saban has “The Process” and there’s also a process to illustrate a 1:30 package. Key Steps: • Research • Preplanning • Execution • Post-production • Review process Dr. Clark’s 16-Step Package PROCESS
- 6. Package EXAMPLE 1 Reporter: Bryant Somerville WBMA Birmingham (ABC 33/40) Story: School Reopens after child abduction FORMAT: LIVE with donut Multiple voices Techniques– Nat sound Video action reaction Soundbite selection
- 7. Package Example 2 Reporter: Jonathan Gregg WITI-FOX 6 Milwaukee Story: The Order of Things FORMAT: Package with no reporter standup Lots of ACTION video Techniques– Nat sound Video action reaction Quick moving
- 8. Package Example 3 Reporter: Melanie Yuill WBMA ABC 3340 Story: Alabama Retail Sales 2016 FORMAT: Live with donut Lots of file video Techniques– Nat sound Multiple elements on a TECHNICAL REPORT
- 9. Package Script Template Rhythm/Pacing: Too much reporter voiceover can kill a package. Do not go over 10 seconds of voiceover without a soundbite/nat sound pop. Timing: Opening with natural sound pops or a soundbite is key to engaging your audience right into the story. Scripts can’t be written and voiced over until you’ve shot soundbites, b-roll, and natural sound. Package scripts are clearly noted with video, natural sound, and soundbites. “See it, say it” principle is crucial because writing is more specific to what the viewer is seeing. Package Script Template Caitlin Chastain Package Script Example and Package Example
