3) What order did you broadcast the stories in? Why did
you place the stories in that order?
- National Story
- Greenford Story
- Sports Story
- London Story
- Funny Story
I placed the stories in this order because I wanted the news to be interesting but still informative so I decided to start it off with some shocking news then slowly break into some serious news like the Greenford story. After that I decided to do some sports because the World Cup is going on also to ease the heaviness of the more serious news story that had been said previously. After that I chose the nail biting in London story because it was weird and mysterious and lastly to end all the news on a lighter note I did the bridesmaid funny story.
4) How did you make sure the script was the right length?
I tried to keep the script short and to the point and to make sure that the script didn't over run past the set time I was given I set up a timer using Google and timed myself for a minute. From there, I adjusted anything that needed to be adjusted and changed anything that needed to be changed.
5) How did you make sure each story was clear and easy
to understand?
To make sure every news story was clear I spoke slowly and made sure that every word I pronounced was clear.
6) How did you make sure the broadcast was
professional?
In order to keep the broadcast professional I tried not to laugh and to not read straight off the sheet. I also tried to speak in a professional tone and speak in full English sentences instead of slang.
7) What was your specific role in the group?
As there was only myself and Klea, both of us did all the roles but i specialized in presenting.
8) Rate your group’s ability to work collaboratively out
of 5 (1=poor, 5=excellent)
I would rate my group's ability to work collaboratively 4 out of 5 because there were no problems and we always agreed on news stories and roles.
9) How could your group have worked more effectively
as a team?
We could have been less distracted and paid more attention to the task we had been set.
10) Finally, what would you have done differently if you
were given the opportunity to do this again?
I would have written the script earlier because I left it too late and because of that I didn't have enough time to practice and as a result I stuttered a bit in my final broadcast.
