Every movie, show,etc that you will ever<br />see needs someone to edit video and sound all<br />into one finished product. You can also use<br />Skype or an I-phone for live shots so that it<br />ends up costing you nothing. There is a lot<br />more to go into but that would take an entire<br />thesis that is way too long to type out, Yes it<br />is experimental but worth a try to see if it<br />can gain a following on television, dvrs and<br />the internet. After the show airs live on CNN<br />make it available for downloads. You can<br />download the entire show or a segment <br />that caught your attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-55529536377809646302010-05-23T18:37:17.583-04:002010-05-23T18:37:17.583-04:00@10:03am Interesting, but one thing is clear.

at br...An anchor free newscast is simple.It is news<br />at break neck speed and tons of information.<br />It is a weaving together of news, live shots &<br />interesting items put together by a team of<br />producers/writers. Say you open the program<br />with Revolution from the Beatles. The words<br />it is time to experience a new(s) revolution to<br />get you hip to what is happening. Next the<br />words are you ready? Each night you change<br />the song, another can be All the Young Dudes.<br />Say the lead story is the Gulf oil spill go live<br />right off the bat to the on scene reporter.<br />They introduce themselves and brings you<br />the latest real time reporting.If it is a package<br />filed by a reporter, you use photos of them<br />out in the field working on the story and<br />you have them voice over this is blank.<br />Going to break have the words more news<br />for you and in 15-20 seconds have stories<br />accompanied by video or photos the a 2<br />line sentence, full screen of course if there<br />is not any video/pic a short story on the<br />screen. You basically take all of the video,<br />photos,sound and music or some other<br />creative method to put together news<br />stories. The screen is never blank because<br />the hour is time for you to get your news<br />on. The goal is to at least have 25 stories<br />or more in an hour. Another example<br />would President Obama at West Point.<br />You use the video and the sound of<br />the introduction. Use a transition to<br />slide in a fact board that says did you<br />know and name the 1st president who<br />started the tradition. Next clips from<br />the speech. Next the tossing of the hats.<br />Ending with a board with facts about<br />the graduating class. The reporters and<br />photographers are also involved because<br />without them you would have a blank<br />screen. Any interview would be done<br />live on the scene.I think that is as different<br />as you get for the hour. Everybody likes<br />information but they might not like the<br />anchor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-39863291979199988782010-05-22T19:02:37.016-04:002010-05-22T19:02:37.016-04:00There are times when I think anchors are a lot lik...There are times when I think anchors are a lot like hair stylists in salons. I recently saw a sign in a beauty salon window saying Hair Stylist Needed: Must Have Following.<br />I really think whoever winds up in the 8PM slot has to have a built in following. Someone who will bring in the numbers and someone who people will follow from one network to another. That's the tricky part. People don't like change...even changing channels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-5129700613813942592010-05-22T18:47:08.395-04:002010-05-22T18:47:08.395-04:00@10:02PM: Glad you liked Friday's version of 3...@10:02PM: Glad you liked Friday's version of 360. It will be interesting to see what the ratings are since there's almost an entire BLOG that hated it and said "ditch it.

Maybe if they would remember<br />the news and forget self promotion they would<br />do much better. That is exactly is what makes<br />me not want to follow individuals on social<br />media.<br /><br />Also, quit telling me how I am gong to feel about<br />a story. The intros alone will make you turn away<br />from CNN right away.I don't need CNN to shape<br />the news stories I will see on the network. Just<br />present it to me.

CNN has<br />numerous female journalists who they<br />need to consider. An hour of crime is<br />not worthy of being lead show on CNN<br />in prime time. What happens if there is<br />breaking news. It would be a mistake for<br />CNN to go with any of these choices. Go<br />with the female journalists at CNN.<br />Nancy and Joy are not bringing in good<br />numbers for HLN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-53887136140314745422010-05-22T10:02:20.937-04:002010-05-22T10:02:20.937-04:00I find it funny that if you add the totals

The problem with<br />panels is that they take up too much time <br />and the news gets lost in it all.CNN has to<br />be real careful here since they have already<br />alienated their viewers.360 Friday was much<br />better the second time around with one <br />exception. Can we get a CNN reporter who<br />has been covering the news story that is the<br />topic of discussion instead of a pundit ?<br />David Mattingly is right in the middle <br />of it all.Or even someone from NatGeo<br />who released new video of the explosion<br />this week.Brinkley was fine since he<br />has in depth knowledge of the topic but<br />CNN could use the show to highlight <br />some of their journalists.If the cameras<br />capture great video let's see it.Go to<br />your people on the scene. 360 was spot<br />on with the cheating segment. The test<br />gets you attention and makes you think<br />and you could even go to the blog and<br />participate.I say keep this show on just<br />on Friday to give people something <br />different going into the weekend.<br />I think CNN needs to record the show<br />on Friday instead of Thursday,I liked<br />Candy and all of the guests. The whiz<br />kid was a nice touch.If it can bring in<br />people who would never watch a news<br />channel that is not a bad thing.It will<br />be interesting to see if it actually goes<br />up in the ratings this week. This could<br />turn into something good for CNN.<br />Just highlight some of the best clips<br />you can see if you watch CNN a little<br />more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-44267549982937713472010-05-22T01:19:55.974-04:002010-05-22T01:19:55.974-04:00@ 8:01: I have never heard of an anchorless progra...@ 8:01: I have never heard of an anchorless program.

Bill wasn't funny and Cooper asked him obvious questions with little depth.<br />They NEED a woman. My guess is on Nancy Grace or Joy Behar because they also NEED a following, an already built up audience to combat Bill O'Reilly or even come close. No one else on that list could do this.<br />Eliot Spitzer needs to run for Governor of NY again after the idiot who is now there. Could he beat Cuomo is the question, but he's smart and he'd be a real waste sitting in as talk show host when he can run a State.

Have a now<br />playing banner at the bottom in place of<br />the crawl and have the tabs with the title<br />of the story. The storying that is being<br />featured is highlighted and a cursor<br />clicks the stories as they are about to air.<br />CNN has to something dramatically <br />different than the others. CNN will<br />not get competitive by doing the same<br />thing as the others. That is their problem.<br />CNN tried to be like FNC and their viewers<br />turned away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
