Television plots have become part of our lives. Most often we watch news stories, sometimes entertaining ones. But whatever they are, there is something in common: syncs, lives, stand-ups and other designations that are understandable only to a journalist. However, if you want to shoot your own subject, this art can be easily learned by following our instructions.

Step 1
The duration of a TV piece varies from 1.5 to 5 minutes. Knowledge of the basics of shooting can be useful both for a novice journalist to hand over a job, and for any person. You can shoot a plot as a gift for a birthday person or friends for a wedding. Such a surprise will be different from others, will add zest to the holiday and will remind of itself for a long time.
Step 2
The plot is not only the filming process itself, but also a lot of work on your imagination and creativity. Prepare for filming, think over what you would like to see in your work, make a filming plan. Write your voiceover text.
Step 3
Any plot can start and end with a stand-up. This is the name of the technique when a journalist in the frame speaks directly with the viewer. Make an interesting eyeliner to the plot.
Step 4
Your voiceover, which usually forms the basis of a story, needs a picture. For this, depending on the occasion, shots of nature, a city street, any landscape, action, and even photographs are suitable. "Life" is the moment when the hero of the plot does something. It can also be just live noisy moments like a clapping hall or a city street.
Step 5
Any plot will be made richer by "synchronization" - this is a short interview with a person in the frame. When filming syncs, feel confident, ask people clear questions that do not require a long detailed answer. At the same time, the questions should not imply a monosyllabic answer "yes" or "no" - in this case, you simply will have nothing to choose for your plot. Find a middle ground.
Step 6
After all the necessary material is collected, you need to read your voiceover. Heading is the recording of text in digital format. Then proceed with the installation. Try to make the material exciting, vivid and memorable. The viewer can remember your plot for some moments inherent only to you. And one of the main goals of a journalist is to find his “I” in order to be different in the crowd of the same “feather sharks”.
