Writing

For this reel, I drew from my own experiences as a Reporting 1 student and relayed the tips I personally use regularly the most. Additionally, I feel that these are important in relation to what is traditionally done in English academic writing. I learned how to carefully select and condense information to make the video more concise.

For this reel, I relied on relatability. I chose to employ the perspective of a young person to explain millage rates in the efforts to be more authentic, relatable and reach my target audience.  I learned how to rely on my own perspective and add a professional twist to curate "relatable" content.

Since we were assigned to report on what we learned over the entire semester through our beat coverage, I chose moments of b-roll that reflected my reporting over this time frame. I really enjoyed being creative with this reel and adding elements of information that is informal for citizens as well.
