Activity Description
Produce your package and relevant media. Initially you will need to find an editor to assist you if you don't have non-linear editing editing practice. If you do, you'll be expected to help and teach other reporters in your cohort. Your package should be no longer that 2:00 and should include a stand-up, an on-camera interview, B-roll with NAT sound, and a toss. Then cut a VO-SOT and a NAT-SOT of the same story.
