Writing a news story
BEFORE you sit down at the edit station...LOG your tape -- make an EDL
Identify good shots, including incue and outcue / time code
WRITE a rough draft script (use samples from course outline) – single-column or 2-column approach
Now you’re ready to start capturing clipsNever capture long pieces—identify and capture
clips (digital files differs)
