This image of Diana Luna is a good example of the rule of thirds because she is standing right along the line, and it gives a good view of the scenery.

This is a good example of filling the frame because the whole shot is up close and of the subject and you can see his facial expression well.

This is a example of Framing because the subject is encompessed in the snowy scene.

This is a good point of view shot where you are looking up at the subject.

Talking With Terry

Terry Seguin is one of the 52 percent of journalists that use Twitter to source news. The twenty first century has had a huge impact on journalism because everything is instant, I update my status when I’m brushing my teeth but people like Terry Seguin have much more interesting twitter updates, a detail of everything going on in New Brunswick hour to hour. To me this is an advantage because we get news updates for free and whenever we want, we can even get them sent to our cell phones if we wanted too. Although that same thing might be a disadvantage for journalist because we are no longer paying for newspapers or tuning in to the news hour because, well why would we, we’ve been getting updates all day for free. Terry said that people tweet him to comment on his radio show that would be another advantage for us because we can say what we want to hear or questions we wish would have been asked, this will keep Terry busy improving on questions we want to hear. At the same time every other person gets to leave their job when the day their being paid for is over but journalists now have a commitment to their listeners to answer tweets and emails about their work.
Mr. Seguin said that he had very little training before he got the job on the radio. I think that makes sense because being a journalist would be the same as being a public speaker either you got it or you don’t. Also I feel they would need training too like every job because you would need to know certain things like what is appropriate to say on the radio, or what questions need to be asked and what you can do with people who won’t answer your questions.
Radio news would have a huge advantage over TV news because you could get every question you want and need to ask asked because there isn’t as restricting time limits. Also there isn’t editing in radio news so the audience gets to hear everything that is discussed that way we always get the truth.
Mr. Seguin said something very important about his job, that being that every morning when he wakes up he is excited to go to work. Every morning I’m excited to get up and get ready for school but not so excited to go to school. It is doing makeup that I love, that’s why I choose to take a Makeup Course next year. Mr. Seguin is a very insightful man and gave good advice with interesting stories to go with.
1. What is the story? (What is the point of the news report?)
- The story is about the 4 Muslim women who were killed by their husband and father in the name of “honor”.

2. What is the establishing shot in the video?
- The establishing shot is B-roll of a woman’s angles walking down the street while the caption “living in fear” reads across the screen.

3. What is the introduction?
- The introduction is done by a separate news caster who does not appear in the video again, he is in the studio where the rest of the video is not.

4. Most likely "sources" are used in the report and they are making comments or being quoted. Name two of them.
- Anonymous Muslim women who ran away from her family before her father could carry out her honor killing was a source, her name was not giving and her face was blurred. Raheel Raza a women activist was another source who spook on honor killings.

5. Based on what these two sources say, what questions do you think they were asked? Create two questions for each source that you feel they were probably asked.
- “What in the Muslim community make the men feel such a need for honor?” “Why do the other women involved help them?” “What could we do to stop this from happening again?”

6. Identify two different types of "B-roll" in the video.
- One b-roll I noticed was a drawn out picture of a court room with a Muslim man on the stand hypothetically done by a courtroom artist, it was videoed over and zoomed in and out on.

7. What are two other types of B-roll footage that you think they could have used (consider what is being said in the voice over’s)?
- They could have used b-roll of where the car containing the 4 women who were murder was found. Also they could have used b-roll a Muslim church

8. Identify two different voice over’s and briefly list what facts are in each voice over.
- One women who was interviewed was a friend of the middle daughter, she spoke of her personality and how nice and caring she was. Another voiceover was done by a women who runs a sort of shelter for Muslim girls who are afraid of their fathers killing them she spoke about how things need to be changed and awareness.

9. What is the closing to the video?
- The closing of the video is the newscaster who did the introduction and the newscaster who did the report on scene talking about what needs to be done to change this in the studio.

10. Who is the reporter and what is her/his tag at the end?
- At the end it ends without a tag.
