4.8 A-Roll/B-Roll Brainstorm

A. A-Roll/B-Roll Brainstorm

Directions: Reread your draft, thinking about what you could use as a-roll and b-roll visuals. To do this, you may also want to think about how you will present your final news story. 

 

Decide How You’ll Share Your Story: You’ll have a choice of how to share your news story: Live or recorded on video. The visuals you use will change depending on whether you are recording or presenting live. Read more below. Remember, anything you use should help you tell your story.  Take all of your notes in your Mission Log

Present Live

  • Have b-roll images ready to show while you present
  • Do you want to interview someone?  What questions would you ask?

Record 

  • Option to add in b-roll video
  • Think about background – you could create a poster
