This was a part of the news packages we did and I decided to do a story about the Oldham College Christmas Single, in which I was lucky enough to interview the vocalist and producer Laura Purdey.

I intended to get a full news package which would include a voiceover, an interview, and some camera footage around Oldham College which I managed to do. I was researching how a news package was constructed, so I looked at the order of when the interview was conducted, when the voiceover was in place, and how the news package is rounded up at the end.

What have I learnt from this course?

During my course, I have learnt how to edit to a better standard so I know how to carry out most of the basic techniques when editing a video. I know how to set up most parts of a camera so it is working to a good standard, and I now feel as though I have a better knowledge of what goes on in the media industry.

What is my advice for anyone joining the course?

The advice I would give to new people is at least have an idea of what job within the media industry you would want to do. For example, have a look at what happens behind the scenes of a TV news studio production just to get an idea of what goes on behind the scenes and the roles people carry out.
