Track 60.

OK, so let’s take a simplified look at the process of making a news report.

As with any project, the first stage is planning.

What do you to remember is the five Ws: Who, What, When, Where and Why.

These are the five questions you need to have answers to.

Once you’ve gathered the information about the story, you need to put together a script.

The key advice here is keep it simple or you may lose your audience.

As part of writing the initial script, try to visualize the report in your mind.

Make sure you’re clear on who you’re going to interview, where this interview will take place, the questions you want to ask and what shots you’re going to include.

After that it’s time to get the camera rolling.

A news report begins with the reporter talking to the camera and giving a brief introduction to the story.

Keep it snappy.

Don’t go into unnecessary detail or say things that will be covered by the interviewees.

Just outline the story that your report will tell in a straight forward and appealing way.
