Video for The Avenue
Posted: July 17, 2008
The Alligator has a weekly entertainment section called the Avenue. It is a silly section, but I’m sure a lot of people read it. There is an over-the-top sex column along side book, cd and movie reviews. Honestly, I don’t think the paper puts enough work into the section, but that is only because the section does not put enough work into the paper.
Either way, I edited — and I used the term lightly today — a video shot by avenue-write Bailey Park. It is just a silly supplement to her story about a new store in Gainesville that I won’t bother plugging by putting its Web site here.
She shot the whole interview/tour in one take. It’s shaky; It’s crazy, but the information is actually pretty interesting, and it is a good example of how, if done right, even a simple video tour shot by a reporter can be a great supplement to a story that needs visuals.
Really though, the most important thing to come out of the video is the new Alligator logo that is going to appear at the end of all the videos. Exciting!
