Mike, Andrew and I want to create a narrative about the resident assistant’s nightly activities when they are “on duty.”
We
will follow the RAs around campus as they go on “rounds” and check the
suites on campus to make sure students are safe and being responsible.
We will interview the RAs we tape, and have them explain what they do on
rounds and when on duty, and why they have to do these tasks.
The
interview will serve as part of our sound as well as the audio we will
record to explain certain situations in the video. We will also have
natural sounds form the RAs as they go around campus and interact with
students.
Andrew and Mike will be responsible for recording the video because they live on campus and can record the RAs in action.
Everyone
in our group will be responsible for editing the video, creating the
audio recordings, and writing the writing portion. We will together
write, edit, and produce the video and writing portion.

Lyndon State College - "The Critic"
Lyndon State College is a small school located in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The school has many news sources on campus for the college population, as well as for the surrounding community. One source of news that is considered to many to be “old fashion” is the student-run newspaper, The Critic.
The Critic staff meets every Thursday night, when school is in session, to edit the stories, and layout the eight pages the paper consists of. Once the editing and formatting is complete, the layout is printed by Upper Valley Press in New Hampshire. On Friday mornings the papers are delivered to Lyndon State, and can be picked up around campus for free.
Many students will submit articles to the newspaper. Some students enjoy writing news stories, and some submissions to the paper are from the journalistic writing class. It is the job of the editors to figure out which stories to publish. There are several editors responsible for putting The Critic together. Each is assigned a section or page to put together, or write stories for. These editors many times write their own stories, but sometimes may only have to format a page if other students’ work is going to be published.
The Critic is done entirely by students, but there is a professor who oversees the paper to make sure students are creating the best newspaper possible. Dan Williams is the faculty- advisor to the Critic. He goes through the paper weekly with Editor-in-chief Michael Miley. Williams explains the good and the bad are from the past week’s edition.
In 2010 The Critic joined social media by creating a Facebook page. This page gets updated with information from the newspaper, and one can also find there an online edition of the most recent editions. The Critic also has its own website, but unfortunately the page is not updated very often.
In recent years the critic has been noticed by the Lyndon State community as a club of high regard. The Critic was named “club of the year” in 2008 and 2010. The mission statement of The Critic reads “To serve and share the student voice of Lyndon State College,” and according to many people, they are successful at doing so.
Lyndon State College is a strong supporter of the newspaper, as the college states “The Critic is a student generated and produced newspaper that serves as the voice of the student body. The paper includes various stories of interest to the Lyndon State community, including campus events, local area happenings, student issues, and athletic news.”

VIDEO PROJECT IDEA
Mike, Shane and myself plan to go around campus and find random students to do a small quiz and record their answers. We may format the interview like a game show, giving the contestant three questions and a reward if all three are answered correctly.
The sound would include one of us three asking a question, receiving the answer from the students, and then telling the student whether their response was wrong or right.
One of us will interview the students, and the other two will be responsible for videotaping the encounter.
Team Assignments:
Video - Shane and Mike

Online Videos
I went to the USA today's sport page to see if there was video to go along with there stories. In fact there were lots of video to accompany stories.
It was just like a reporting and the accompany writing was just about what he said in the article but had some extra information. I found the videos to be just like they would be on a news station on TV.
I think videos that are on newspapers website should be shorter than an actual reporting article so that you go read the actual article and not just watch the video.
