Nowadays, all possible situations and ideas that only exist in the world have already been described and published in the media. Therefore, journalists and TV correspondents are faced with the problem of creating new stories. Nevertheless, it is possible to create a plot that will interest the picky viewer with its novelty and originality.
Instructions
Step 1
Listen carefully to your colleagues and interact with more experienced journalists. Listen to their words, perhaps in a randomly dropped phrase or guess, you will find an idea for a powerful and original plot.
Step 2
Always pay attention to the text component. Even if the text material is very small compared to the visual material in your report, proofread and edit it as scrupulously and carefully as you can.
Step 3
The perception of your story by the viewer also depends on the perception of the text. Dry and boring text will make even the most unusual report uninteresting. Your text should be at the same time simple for the average person, laconic, but deep, interesting and vivid. Whenever possible, try to think through the preliminary script for your report to help structure your thoughts.
Step 4
Your story is made up not only of text, but also of people. People are the main content of any reportage, so the experience and life of some people are always interesting to others. If you go to reportage, always communicate with eyewitnesses, witnesses, experts, specialists.
Step 5
By filming people and giving them the opportunity to speak, you bring your story to life. The person's interview should be relevant to the general atmosphere and theme of your story.
Step 6
Always ask questions spontaneously or memorizing them in advance. Show as much interest as possible in the interviewee to squeeze out all the information that can only help you in creating your report. To make the plot interesting, always try to illustrate certain words with examples. An example would be any case described by the same eyewitness you are interviewing.
Step 7
In creating a successful and interesting plot, the quality work of the operator is also important, on which the audience will be able to catch the most climaxing moments of the report. The journalist should appear in the frame exactly when it is necessary to sharpen the plot, to focus on its most important aspects.
Step 8
Always review the finished material and critically edit it, leaving a selection of the most interesting fragments. Be honest with your viewers and don't drag out your story - it should be long enough to satisfy the viewer's interest and curiosity without getting bored.
