Included in this video style guide are steps to follow to create a video story. These are simple guidelines. The steps should be applied to both news and feature video reports. They’re designed to help the video producer find a focus for video stories and also provide an outline for newsrooms to follow to bring consistency to a paper's videos and among all GateHouse Media video reports.
At the very least, your video should show something interesting for the viewer if just an accompanying visual for your written report, and/or at least have one source explaining the action of the piece with B-Roll footage for visual interest.
Editing is the last step of the production process, whether you are using iMovie, Final Cut Express or Pro, AdobePremiere or some other editing program.
