With D-Week coming up you'll have plenty of opportunities for stories, video news packages, from the reveal of the new mascot, to The Great Race and all the events in between. Create the elements of a video package, a stand-up, and interview and b-roll to illustrate the story. Upload your best takes to your blog. If you'd like, cut the package together or have someone cut it for you. What I'll be looking for is your competency in applying photojournalism concepts in your coverage and production of your package.
