WATCH YOUR NEWS!

This is what you have been recording up to now! Bear in mind that these are not the final projects, you still have to add more interviews, music, subtitles and images. Of course you will also select the best shots and discard the bloopers (las tomas falsas).

I advise you to write great scripts. Choose words carefully, be accurate and clear! Talk slowly, don't move too much and keep your eyes on the camera.

You are doing a great job! Now let's work harder!

SPECIAL THANKS TO BIFT NEWS THAT WAS THE FIRST TEAM. They are now preparing more interviews and great information that we will soon broadcast in this blog.

Bring your pen-drive with the music and images you would like to add during your presentation. Think of a nice logo for your team.

I will save your material in your pen-drive so that you can start working with movie-maker.

Good luck!
