Week 4

The bulletin was delayed this week by about 20 minutes because of the script being late.  A story had to be re-written as the legality has changed, but it put the production team under considerable stress.  Angus commented that the bulletin MUST go out at 3pm and there MUST be a rehearsal before hand.  This puts the emphasis on the importance of making sure the script is written earlier in the day.
My role in the production team was VT - it was a good job I had had practise last, as we had no rehearsals this week.

The news appears much better prepared, although the links are still letting the bulletin down.

The use of the Skype interview was really well received, as this is something new for WINOL and also something else that is done by professional news teams. 

Chris has installed the VTEM Drawer extension onto the website and it works really well - there have been plenty of comments with really good feedback.

I was asked to design graphics from Kieran's package and it was commented that these were really good graphics.

Also, rather last minute I was asked to design a new Sportsweek logo, but because it was impossible to find a photo off Creative Commons in time (that gave me permission to alter the work) it wasn't used.  This was quite annoying as I could have used this time for something else.

Another graphic successfully designed on Fireworks is another features Barker, this time for Polly and the Billets Doux in the Big Interview.  I also put the Barker up on the site, but Chris is using Dreamweaver to attach the link - hopefully I will be able to learn how to do this soon. 

Although I have been enjoying creating these graphics, I feel like my role is becoming a little more blurred.
