Brian's Making a Change

Antwan's Alternative Way

Ideas for my Non-linear assignment...

My beat is dealing with health and beauty. So, for my non-linear story assignment....
-I would of course have my audio branches.
-Maybe a link to a food chart
-Link to ingredients found to most make-up that's is detrimental
-Maybe video of common exercises that most people do wrong
-Links to articles dealing with eating correctly

Just some ideas; will become more developed soon. =]

For My Slideshow

For my slideshow; I will focus on Mallory and her workout schedule.
-She has made a commitment to working out and has stayed diligent to her goal.
-She switches up her routine so she doesn't get bored.
-She has even switched up her eating routine so that she can acheive maximum success.

Editing Techniques

I watched the 'Rise and Fall of the Berlin Wall' Saturday night. While it was long (2 hours); it was a very interesting piece.

-The program did a good job of creating a mood. The split of Germany into West and East really took a toll on all citizens regardless of how they felt about the split.
-When they referred to West and East Germany they had different angled views. The West had the close, family knit views and the East had the aloof, unconnected views.
-I noticed that when they talked to survivors or referred to their families; they panned close to their faces. I think they did this so that the audience could get the sense that they were real people who had gone through this split of their country.
-When they talked about East Germany's government or the wall's every growing technology; they took a wide view. I believe they did this to show how removed and against the wall most citizens were.
-While they did this throughout the entire program, I noticed when they would describe the survivors’ stories in-depth; they made sure that the re-created images matched their stories as close as possible.
