Professional Blog Post


The Today show filmed this news package to show American citizens how landlords are struggling to keep their residents online packages during this holiday season. To start this news package Gabe Gutierrez opened it up by using a standup of him standing in a room of packages. The video then went into the news package starting with a voice over. One of my favorite parts of this package was the animation that showed how online shopping has increased boxes delivered to apartments by 50% which causes 10 minutes of lost productivity for their workers, and that time adds up to more than 3 million dollars a year. I should add in different animations in my work because it varies up the shots viewers see and captures their attention. I learned why and how to use stand ups in news packages earlier in the year, and I should apply more stand-ups into my news packages. Gutierrez also used the six shot sequence, however he had a lot more zooming and panning that made the shots more interesting. I think the last interview piece that was filmed could have been set up better. There is a lot of head space above the women head because Gabe Gutierrez is a lot taller, so a good solution would be to sit both of them down. Overall I believe watching different news packages will help me develop videography skills and give me ideas for future packages. Source Cited: Gutierrez, Gabe.
