Filming
Filming
Once you have done all your planning, then you can start to film.
Introduction - This is where the reporter starts to explain the story. Don't make it too long, keep it short and snappy.
First interview - The first person you talk to will give their opinion on what is happening, and how it affects them.
Second interview - You need to talk to someone with a different opinion, to provide balance.
Vox pops- Opinions of the public
Extra shots - These show the audience more about the place and the people in the story. They make the report more interesting.
Conclusion /Upsum - This will be the reporter's sign-off, where they summarise the outcome, or possible outcomes, of the story.
Think carefully about where you want to set up each of the shots, using different backgrounds and angles to keep it interesting for the audience.
For example, reporters can look straight at the camera when they do their introductions and sign-offs. These are called "pieces to camera".
Interviewees usually stand on one side of the frame looking over to the other side of the screen. This is because they are looking at the reporter, who stands on one side of the camera, so you can't see them in the shot.
Be very careful to check your audio levels too. Without good sound you won't be able to use the video that goes with it.

News package planning
Planning
As with any story, you must plan how you want to start your report and how you want to end it. This will keep your story heading in the right direction, and you won't miss out any important information in the middle.
When planning your report, you will need to consider the five Ws. These are:
What - What is the story? Get the facts right before starting your report.
Why - Why is the story important to your audience? Which points do you need to focus on to get their interest?
Who - Who is involved? Think about who will be able to tell their sides of the story in an interesting way. Where - Where is the story happening, and where is the best place to film? If you're shooting outside of school, you may need to get permission first.
When - Has the story already happened, or is it about to happen? If there's going to be a significant event you want to report on.
By planning each of these points in detail, you'll know exactly what you need to film.
