Dotson's Reading 3

1. We should let the drama in our story have it it happen naturally and that we should pick soundbites that leave lump in our throat. However, they should stick in memory that what a good soundbite should do.  I part that stands out as particularly useful is getting started paragraph. In the paragraph it says that we are not ready to write a story until we can state in one sentence what we want the audience to learn from our report. I believe that its true and that we should have like a sentence that we go by our story. That way we can focus clearly on what we should write about and not had unnecessary stuff.

2. Land of 10,000 Stories: Race for the Cure, aired May 13, 2013

3. In the beginning when the crowd was cheering. When the lady was making a comment there was bell sound in the background. People talking int the background. The laughing in the background when other people are making comments.

4. The wide shot of the people from up top in the beginning. The Low shot when the lady was talking to the people who are running the race. The wide shot of the starting point where people were cheering at they walked past the camera. The tight shot of people's feet as they are walking.

5. Walk to Cure

6. In the story there are parts where their are words in there. For example, there were different times where the story had different ideas about the race and how people where there for different reasons. The story clearly showed that and made it stick in our memories.  There were parts in the story that there were no voice overs and the the actions just happened. When the lady was talking and then another lady said hug your mom time. That happened with the voice overs. In the story there are lot of natural sounds happening. For example, when the crowd are cheering or talking in the background. Also, when they are ringing the bells. There is lots of insistence like that. It catches our attention as a viewer when the crowd is cheering or bell ringing. It makes the story feel real and that makes a good story.
