Reading


o What do you notice about the way he writes? Use specific examples, please. (75 words)

The way that Bob Dotson writes is very easy and very effortless. He Makes it easy to understand, He makes it feel like he is talking to you And not telling you a story. For example, when he explains the rule of thirds and filling the silence He tells us that he has done thousands of interviews in the past three decades. He gives us a little background Which shows that he has a lot of experience and he knows what he's talking about, As well as it makes it Connect more

o What did you learn from reading pages 9 to 27? (75 words)

I learned What he was talking about, like the rule of thirds, filling Silence, the non-question/question And foreshadowing. But most importantly I think Is on page 34 When he says I'm sorry the story is so long I didn't have time to write a short one. Because he talks about the importance of setting conflict, character growth And resolution. I learned that these are probably some of the most important Things an interview must have. 

o With the scripts: What do suppose is described in each column? Why would it be split like that? What else is interesting about the scripts? (50 words)

In the scripts on the right side at the beginning it says the story the city and the reporter name on the right it has what people say like interviews or when the reporter is talking. On the left it also says what kind of footage they are rolling like photos videos or what kind of shots, like close-up or a wide shots. I think that something interesting about the scripts is that it says who is talking and. It tells you if it's using natural sound or narration. 

o On Page 34 (and to the end of the section), Dotson writes about a long-form feature. Find one of these (a story at least 4 minutes long) on a TV news magazine such as Rock Center20/20 or 60 Minutes. Then, give and explain examples of how the storyteller uses the five bulleted traits Dotson gives on Page 34. (200 words)

In the story I read it used foreshadowing when it said that she had a perfect marriage. And when it said that her husband was keeping a secret then there was conflict when she learned that her husband wanted to live his life as a woman. It's setting in the room, it's very dark and earth toned And the camera is at an angle where it shows depth and it shows her far away. It shows character growth because at first the lady says that she wasn't comfortable And that she was terrified it goes on to say that they have kids and they met in college with her husband being a transgender and then as the story develops she says that love that has a lot to do with it and it shows on much softer side of her. And that it must've been love that makes it possible. That is also the resolution, another resolution is that the husband writes a book about his experience. Like Bob Dotson did the story I watched also had foreshadowing at the beginning which Added to the Suspense. The story I watched did the exact same thing as Bob Dotson Story Where the reporter talks, shows  images and then an interview and then it repeats. It also so showed close-up of their faces. And like Bob Dotsons story I think that the setting Was done intentionally.
