I had a few options for people to focus on for my slideshow, but I am choosing to follow Jillian Benna, the special events chair for Phi Sigma Sigma. Since Greek Week starts on Monday and there is a full week of different events such as Greek Sing and Wacky Olympics, I think I will be able to gather a variety of photos for the slideshow as well as natural sound and interviews. Jill is also an ambitious and outgoing girl who is active in her sorority. She will talk about her position and what it is like to lead the Greek Week activities.

Rock for the Cure
On March 29 Olivia Obineme published an article for The Towerlight regarding Tau Kappa Epsilon's philanthropy event that was hosted in Paws. They raised over $500 for their new philanthropy, St. Jude's Research. It was called Rock for the Cure and featured four bands, one which included Fraternity and Sorority Life Coordinator Christian Miele.
The TKE Fraternity was able to raise even more money by holding a date auction and raffling off gift certificates. Fundraising chair C.T. Sartory said that they will still be raising money for the National Alzheimer's Foundation as well.
I think this story was written well and contained quotes from credible people. However, many people may not be aware or be informed about St. Jude's Research. I think it would have been helpful for the reporter to give a short description or a quote from someone in the fraternity about what this research foundation does. Other than that, the story was well written and I wish I could have went to this event since it sounds like it was for a very good cause.

ABC News
On the ABC Nightly News at 11:00 p.m, the news began with a story about a murder suspect in Northeast Baltimore. The story uses shots that tell the story. For example, a photo of the street sign is shown when the location is said. A variety of medium wide and tight shots are also used.
The story about a coach being charged with child pornography, John Kovach uses tight shots to show the letter that was sent and other items involved in the story. This matched action helps tell the story in a more compelling way.
The story about keeping Preakness in Maryland contains natural sound of the horse show announcer in the background while the reporter is speaking.
The reporter introduces the story about the plane that was stolen in Canada and continues to a video of the plane and airport with a voice over. A split screen is shown with a map of the plane one one side and the actual footage on the right.
Natural sound is used again with the sound of a bell ringing as the Dow as the local stock market is being told as well.
Before learning about the different editing techniques, I never realized how much goes into editing the video before it airs on the news.
