At the JEMUN Conference, Video Journalists will follow the planning to production steps shown below.
Step #1: Learn about the agenda topic you will be reporting on before you come to the conference by reading books, doing research online, and learning how to pronounce unfamiliar vocabulary. If you will be interviewing a guest speaker, make sure you do research about them before the conference.
Step #2: With your journalist partner, brainstorm the event/situation/happening/subject you’d like to report on. Some of this brainstorming can be done in advance, but a majority of it will be done at the conference.
Step #3: Plan the outline of your story with your partner. Using a storyboard might help you and your partner to visually plan the video footage you’d like shoot. Estimate the duration of each video clip you’d like to get before doing the actual recording. Try to aim for a video between 1 to 2 minutes.
Step #4: Make a list of your potential sources. This is where you will get the credible information you need for your video broadcast. Rehearse your questions and check your video equipment before the actual interview.
Step #5: Interview your sources and get the footage you need.
Step #6: Decide on any changes to your original storyboard.
Step #7: Open a new project in iMovie and name it. Then, upload your video footage.
Step #8: Use your storyboard and begin editing the video footage with your partner.
Step #9: Finish editing the video according to the JEMUN Journalism guidelines.
Step #10: Decide on the title of your video.
Step #11: Get your video and title checked by your advisor.
Step #12: After the advisor accepts the video, export it as a file and name it meeting room,video (# of your submission) example: Room1Video (#3).
