Train Near Misses

Evaluative Points
This is an early package created during my BA Hons Journalism course at UCA Farnham. Looking back at the package, I can see that the package is of poor quality with some of the main points needing to be worked on being:
Studio Link - The setting for the piece to camera in the studio link needs to be selected more carefully taking light and framing into consideration.
Sound - Some of the sound is awful, especially in outdoor settings. The use of a microphone is needed.

However, there are some points which I believe work nicely in this package including:

Natural sound - Allowing the natural sound to work on its own is effective. In this case, we used the sound of a train horn.
Phone interview - This is a technique that is effective if you are unable to conduct an interview to camera. Especially with an authorititive source.
Archive footage - The use of archive footage allows you to tell the stroy with a range of pictures you may not have been able to capture yourself.
