| Purpose: (What is the message or intent of the piece?) |
| Contacts: (Who do I need to speak to in order to get the information for my piece?) |
| Interview Questions: (What do I want to focus on in the interview? At least 5 questions and avoid Yes/No questions.) (REMEMBER THAT WITHOUT STRONG CONTENT YOUR PIECE WILL FALL FLAT!!) |
Shot List- What images do I need to make the visual part of the story work? Interviews use mostly Close-ups, Waist shots, and B-roll. Background should also be considered. Usually at least 5 to 10 different shots are combined for a sophisticated piece. |
| General Flow: Describe the beginning, middle, and end of your segment. Include any narration you might include as well as graphics or interviews. (Try to imagine the piece playing in your head) |
Scripts: This is the written portion of your piece that is included either for the broadcast script or for a voice over that pulls the different interviews together.
