News day Evaluation

 Tuesday 25th April 2023

LO: To evaluate and review our News Day project.

In our group there were three members: Me, George and Lauren. Lauren asked the interview questions and helped us edit the clips together. She also helped to write the report and anchor introduction while George was an anchor and also helped to edit. I was an anchor with George and introduced all of the stories, including our own. I was also a reporter, and edited it and i wrote the anchor introduction and the story. We were researching and writing about the student protests that occurred at Penrice Academy a few months ago. My favourite part of this was filming the anchor introductions because i found it fun to read off of the autocue. My least part was the editing as me and my dear friend George had to edit all of the anchor introductions and therefore had to watch ourselves. I learnt how to work a camera and to not be awkward while being filmed. My editing skills also improved. I learnt that the news process takes a lot of people to bring it all together as it took our whole class to bring it all together so imagining it in the real world is insane. Also that reporters have to research and write their own story. If i were to do this again, the thing that i would do differently is try to make the interview and anchor parts far smoother than they are now. I would also try and feel more confident while in front of the camera. That is my evaluation.
