While the nation prepares for the election the students at Winchester University vote for their new president of the Student Union. On Tuesday this week our production team took care of making a 1 min videos for the three candidates applying for the role of president of our university. Every each and one of them received a fair chance to give a 1 min talk about themselves to give the students reasons to vote for them. The studio was prepared and the spot lights set on candidates, the three videos can be found on our local news website
WINOL.CO.UK.I sub-edited few stories and my new role this week within the production was floor managing of the TV studio and also Autocue operating for the rehearsals. The day before winol I joined the sports reporters to help out with filming and photographing a football game. It was a good experience again and I discovered that I really like photographing sport events, their dynamic and passion makes quite interesting experience of capturing important moments like goal scoring or saving a penalty shot. A new experience a new interest discovered.
From the feedback we found out that our news headlines were strong sports slightly not matching the pictures. Stu's story was one of the bests and it was a follow up of his previous one. In the story about the university's budget the right balance wasn't done and in Teachers story the GV-s could have been more creative. Our presenters, Catherine, Rob and Keileigh did well in new set of the scene and it was good that Rob could try himself in a new role. Keileigh presented as our political correspond er and showed a lot more confidence comparing to last week and Cathrine did a great news presenting, making a strong and confident performance of her role.
It was a challenging week in many aspects, indeed, we had a studio guest and a skype call from Austria about an election and our reporters did a great job on our news content once again. We have overcome a difficulties this week that were not only of technical nature and we have put out another great news bulletin and we should be proud of ourselves. Chanin did really well on not giving up trying to make the skype call happen and took our news to the next level. WINOL traffic 170 unique users with a market penetration of about 3-4 percent which would be at the Daily Telegraph type level, rather than Sun or Mail.
