For all of you working on your video news package assignment, I thought it might be worth giving you some guidance on where you need to be in the process. By the start of the teaching session on Monday you ideally should have nailed your interviews and know what your story is. Finding the focus of your story is the key now. There won’t be a lot of point in spending time getting GVs until you’ve done this – they can always be added later. If you haven’t got that focus yet, come and see me or Richard and we’ll be happy to give some guidance on where to look and who to call.

Then next week you’ll be able to concentrate on structuring the package, writing the script and working through the editing process.
