WINOL Bulletin Debrief 3rd November

Website: last week 445 unique IPs 4334 page views, this week 512 IPs 4415 views.

The figures are always increasing – going in the right direction, just need to boost it now.

Pimp my room got quite a lot of views. Social media did really well this week – best we’ve had so far.

Website pretty well organised – but a bad idea to have slider on top, gets in way of news and looks a bit messy. Good quality of pictures; depth of field, layers in post production, typography is right differentiate between san serif and serif, default is not what we want, it tells you something, don’t decorate communicate, a professional standard. We used the WinchXtra photo as a template for continuity in the other graphics – this is for house style. There needs to be a much clearer idea right through to the title. WINOL has now set a visual standard and we cannot dip below this.

Football cancellations graphic was very strong last year – we need to develop this.

Features – must be done on infinity now, masking etc. People’s faces are the most interesting thing to humans; emotion is in the eyes. Main job is to tell a story. Visually led in features with video and still.

Food needs to be presenter led but visually very good.

No social media in sport – local fans should come to WINOL for their updates league positions etc, we should be the first place to go

Bulletin: Great to get on the day, shows value of contacts, Tom quick turnaround, archive, arrest charge then sentence

Bracken: Bit wordy but news peg keeping it fresh with now, good partial quote. Detail is the enemy. Legal danger of privacy with GVs but dealt with well, cutaways could be more inventive, bureaucrat rooms echo, good grabs heads, quote goldmine

Lauren: No panning GV, too much expo, your voice should be facts, quotes in their voice

Hattie: No I spoke to, sound mix wrong, framing wrong sound bad but good grabs to have, not much point to Sean Woodward interview provided fact not quote, fighting focus in front of window

Lloyds: Camera wrong on in studio, good content

Flood: Walking PTC – stop at point then deliver killer line, stopped too soon

Work on pronunciation Brooke, needs a throw forward at the end

Stephen: Dull pic Stoneham park to start, it’s a nightmare quote here, cut walk out shot quicker, pull focus

Expo talk over: Cutaways. Sequence. Graphics. Pull focus

Sport: stand up?

Swell music in gallery over end sign off – production need to do this this week

WINOL 29th October Wednesday Debrief with Angus Scott

Good improvement well done.

Busting at the seams with stories there is almost too much going on – volume of stuff is very good. Quality of stories pretty good too.

Remember that the time should not be filled in, the time should be quality; every second should hold the attention of the viewer.

Not a story there to spike in the bulletin – none that Angus wouldn’t run.

Tate looks comfortable in studio but needs to find light and shade in the script i.e distinguish between puppy farm murders and an and finally story. Balance is needed in the heads, work on writing in terms of length of each head. Teasing is the only reason for heads to make people watch the show. Jacqueline head is too wordy.

Puppy farm: dispute over whether this is breaking news, is a court case ever really breaking? Tom turned around old pics and freshened it up. Kept going for phone call – most emotive stuff. Visually and orally really strong piece. Well rounded. Shows what we can do, can have a quick turnaround. Good use of archive. More credibility and beef in a package than a newsroom OB, worked better. Explain a bit more before going straight into the phone call? Tate needed more help on the link. Inflammatory language not comment in script – dramatising what it is, no legal trouble, just not formulaic police piece

Immigration street: voice is excellent, think about language ie committees, fantastic grab, safety is most important thing, maybe expo in package because it could look like nobody lives on street?

CUTS: device where two stories are similar x will tell us this story in a moment but first x tells us this.

Lauren: nice PTC, well told, punch, well rounded good interviews, two PTCs? GV pan cutaway is a no – cover with frontline services. Dry stories unless you get people

Hattie: marantz didn’t work, DSLR camera sound not good enough, tighten shot shove gun mic in face, looks like same shot be sure to have a variety, play it back and if bad do it again, never say I spoke to

Lloyds bank: where’s the local angle? Winchester high street. What’s the local angle? Very wooly. Repetition at start. Don’t need to be with autocue the whole time

Flood: nice link. Put a date on archive not WINOL archive, standard phone interview template, well rounded package, singy voice, mention name and see face

Dangerous drivers: didn’t understand the figures, bit more expo in terms of graphics, overlay pics for interview have the sound underlaying don’t mute, bit like a public information film

Link to housing was too short. Read to graphic don’t just use them to fill space

OOV: Chris Huhne cut too long, naked rambler fine good sensor

When directing say out words when VT has rolled – team can react accordingly, not just reliant on the countdown

Skateboarders: bit too short link, good PTC should have been some voiceover, update it – english heritage story etc. Don’t end with a grab then SOQ – lazy end

Drew: be a bit happier. It’s football. Zoom in on aggro at Totton, needs to be shot tighter, script was good not saying what you see, big up two players being sent off. Tough mudder – all pictures are brilliant – visually outstanding, so engaging, really well explained, make it bigger in world, BANG, great grabs. Goal of the month – liked it, commentary not so much, like tease of it, driving viewers to go to other website, really good idea. Vote or celeb

Jacqueline Wilson – just a grab, good, heads, sell her as much as possible

Features package needs to be a bit more sexier, pace needs to be snappier, sell it! Throw tricks and toys at it. Got to have your best pics and grabs. Pump some music into it

John Denham undersold?? Running order potentially wrong we own immigration street, news belt pushed higher changes pace of bulletin

Bracken’s PTC good and told something interesting

Councillor Caroline Dibden interview nigh on perfect, framing, sound, depth of field, tight

Get someone else to voice statements

Go pro skateboard – do it yourself

Sound on Jacqueline Wilson isn’t quite right

Brooke good craft – lack of pictures this is how you do it

Text stories – PEOPLE
