Multiple Locations Make For A Better Story

Take a look at this piece.

It was reported, shot, edited and produced by Katy Solt, and MMJ who took the 5-day Bootcamp last week.

It's a great story about where video as a business is going (note to all you video makers), but it's also a great demonstratoin of shooting at multiple locations with multiple characters for the same story.

She coudl have stopped with the couple running their exercise video business from home, that was interesting enough, but because she works alone as an MMJ (and shoot a 3:1 ratio) she was able to get over to the home of a subscriber to the video channel and get 'the other side of the story'.

They intercut nicely and give another dimension to the piece.

Well done!  

And a great insight into where the whole business of TV is probably headed.

TV News’ Original Sin
January 08, 2025

My mentor in the television business was Fred Friendly. For those who never heard of him, he pretty much invented TV news. He was Edward R. Murrow’s producer for many years before he became President of CBS News.


In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
