Overview

Making a newscast is a fun, interesting and challenging way to communicate information to your audience. Here are some tips and suggestions to make your video production outstanding.

Step One

Prepare your script to be read by you and your cohost to the audience. You should try to memorize as much of this script as possible so you can look at the camera.

Here is a script template for you to download and use. Be sure to share with your cohost so you are working on the same document.

Step Two

Decide what images and pictures you want to use. Your pictures should relate to what you are talking about. For example, if you are talking about rabbits, then you will want pictures of rabbits. Find many different pictures to choose from.

Step Three

Record your script (hopefully you memorized) using iMovie. Be sure to look at the camera as much as possible to keep your audience happy. They want to feel like you are talking to them!

Step Four

Create an introduction with music and lots of flash. You will put this in before you begin recording your script.
