  1. Basic Guidelines For TV Reporting • The only rule in television is that there are no rules in television. But there are guidelines and conventions which make it easier for the human brain to absorb the visual and verbal information. The nearest to a rule is: Never confuse the viewer-unless that is your intention.

  2. The Story :In choosing a story for television, you should ask four questions • 1)what is the subject or issue? • 2) what is the angle or focus? • 3)Do the basic facts and figures support the story? • 4)Is it possible to tell the story in television terms-i.e., Do we have or can we get the necessary pictures?

  3. A failure to answer question 3 before shooting is a particularly common fault. For example, there is no point in making a film about the shortage of doctors in your country if, upon checking the figures, you discover that, far from a shortage, the supply of doctors actually exceeds the demand. all too often, such key information is checked only after filming has started…too late.

  4. Stages of doing a TV story • 1- Pre-production: When making a video-report, pre-production is as important as post-production and- if time permits-should take as long. Pre-production consists of a)research and b) conceptualizing and visualizing. Think of a video-report as a locomotive pulling a line of wagons. The locomotive is the idea or the angle. • The wagons are pictures, interviews, archive, sequence, graphics and text which you will use to tell the story. Before you start filming, make sure you have chosen your locomotive and filled your wagons. Remember that the pictures should also tell the story-not only your text .A video-report should be a marriage of words and pictures-not an uninterrupted succession of words illustrated by pictures.

  5. 2- Production • A) filming • b) writing script • c) video-editing

  6. 3-Post-producton • During this stage we log off what we did, the narration, the sound bites and the pictures Lists: before you filming, make lists of a) the likely shots you may need b) the key question you intend asking your interviewees. This is what professionals do. Only those who think they are professional boast that they can carry it all in their heads.
