Video: Nicaraguan President Supports Gaddafi

A short video about the Nicaraguan President giving a speech showing his support for Muammar Gaddafi as the UN begins their attack on the tyrant.

This was another editing exercise using raw Reuters footage, except I only had half an hour to do it as I had to go to a meeting with the Dean, and didn't have time to find the translation so had to translate myself. It sounds like I'm making excuses but in fact I am proud of what I managed to produce myself in such a short amount of time, and it was a short, sharp lesson about what deadlines will be like in the business.

Editing and voiceover: Me, Jayne Horswill

Video: Japan News Package

A short news package about the search and rescue effort in Japan 5 days on from the earthquake.

This was only an editing exercise; we didn't have to do filming but were instead presented with raw Reuters footage (about 10 minutes of it) and had to edit and fit it together with a voiceover. This was a good exercise in picking and choosing what footage works to keep the video interesting.

Voiceover: Me, Jayne Horswill
Editing: Jodie Burrows and myself

Video: Care in the NHS (Dispatches)

Channel 4's Dispatches gave three dying patients cameras to film the last days of their lives, exposing major problems in the healthcare system.

This is our second attempt at this package; we had issues with the Dispatches footage, i.e Premiere Pro could only read it as a distorted audio file, so the screenshots were not god quality.

Filming: Madeleine Hearn
Editing: All of us, really.
