Used in breaking news (Where video is not yet available)
GOAL: keep it short, get it on the air, quickly
Anchor ALL ON CAMERA (sometimes with over-the-
shoulder graphic)
FULL SCREEN GRAPHIC (FSGRX)
- more sophisticated than just a reader
- usually run :20- :25 secs.
Allow you to have a VISUAL (map, picture of key figure in the story, text to explain facts &
figures)
NOTE: This may be MIXED with video at some point in the story.
READER + graphic over the anchor speaking
VOICEOVER (VO)
- The simplest form of video story
-Usually 20-:30 secs.

- Runs 20 to 30 secs (with each shot being about 4-5 secs each)
THIS IS THE FORMAT FOR YOUR FIRST VIDEO PROJECT IN JCM 331!
READER + cover video
EXAMPLE #1 - WTVM Columbus, Ga.

VOICEOVER WITH SOUND ON TAPE (VOSOT)
-More sophisticated than just voiceover because it includes an interview EXCERPT of some clip
that the viewer hears/sees WHILE anchor stops talking
-usually :30-45 secs. (soundbite about :15-20 secs)
-Sound on Tape (SOT) may be used alone without voiceover (SOT) or with the voiceover after it
(SOTVO)

after the story)
-OR it may appear as a ”donut” (middle portion) of a live report where the reporter whose
narration is on the package may introduce and/or “tag” (come at the end) of the report
