Opening shot of house Voice over Shots of the woods "This is what the bear probably looked like except .. real" Interview with the victim Give the victims side of the story Gives a little info on black bears Fades between shots Then give the bear lady some time to talk Shot of news reporter on roadside Quick shots Recreation of the bear through use of cardboard Shots of animals Random shot of a man in bunny costume (funny?) Learn about bear migration Nature lady says don’t be scarred(scared?) Victim sounds very scared Closing shot of fake bear as newsman signs off

The video begins with a voice over of the victim of the bear attack showing a video of her house. Then the camera starts to clip quick shots of nature scenes such as trees and grass. All of a sudden the newscaster comes in on the voice over. The camera zooms in on a tree and blurs out into a shot of the victim sitting in her backyard talking about the day. After a little background story about the bear attack they shoot a shot of a fake bear to show what the bear would have looked like if it were real. The following shot if of the newscaster walking up the road talking about how the bear was spotted there. I noticed that the editing used a lot of fade-outs to transition between shots. The camera crew has defiantly done their homework, getting interviews from eyewitnesses. They give the location of the bears sighting throughout the day taking shots of various houses. Then the fake bear makes a return this time galloping through a backyard. A nature expert comes into the shot with a backdrop of a tree to talk about bear’s habits, like climbing and running. Voice-overs are used during her interview so that she can recreate a bear climbing a tree with her fake bear prop. Probably the most unique shot of the entire video is when the bear lady is talking about climbing and they get a shot of the tree from the base. The naturalist tells a super interesting story about bear scat and then she awkwardly laughs to herself. The most important question is asked next “should we be afraid of the bear?” the lady replies no. All of a sudden there are shots of various animals like birds and deer and a newsman in a papier-mâché bunny head. They finish up the package with returning to the victim to reiterate the fear that she felt when the bear saw her. The newsman restates his name and the name of the news channel and then the shot blacks out. This video was a package shot in the regular news package. There were no graphics that I could see. The shot selection was actually pretty diverse using still shots, pan shots and even zooms. The editing was pretty bland, but they did have moments where the shot would have some sort of transition. The sound was quite monotone. RYAN: What was wrong with this video? that would have made all the difference in this review... -Mr. M
