Foreign+Correspondent

Hi ladies, I had used the format factory to transfer the video to the AVI types. It got work for all the video successfully. So that do not worried about that. All the video are nealy 431MB, I can not upload on the wiki. If you want a copy of the trasfered video before next thursday, let me know, as i will be in uni on friday and tuesday. And i had tried the DVD Maker(which is another program like the Movie Maker), unfortunately it only could put the video and images together, can not cut into different pieces. So sorry about that, I may just wait with you to work on the Movie Maker together next week!!

THANK YOU!! That's great news, we'll just do it together on Thursday. Do you have a USB that's big enough to hold all of them? Deborah

yes, i will bring the USB and computer together on Thursday.---serena

Hi ladies, I don't know if you'll get this information by tomorrow but I thought I'd try. I was under the assumption that we were meeting tomorrow for filming but it seems there was some confusion. Amy and I will be there but Ash is working. Serena and Linda, if you can make it, that would be great. Deborah

Foreign Correspondent is designed to exploit the strengths of television – striking images and multi-track audio, a strong focus on story telling, exotic locations and emotional appeal. Striking, cinematic images, real - focus on human impact. Foreign Correspondent reports on major international issues but it also travels to places where reporters and camera operators are less welcome - investigating stories that governments don't want told.

Channel 2 is run by the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) a government-financed broadcaster which often addresses controversial issues and questions political decisions. It is very strong in news, current affairs and documentaries. The ABC obtains many programs from the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation). []

HI Guys, Sorry, I wont be in this morning-(3 children on holidays and my car died yesterday) I have watched five foriegn corespondant episodes and why did we have the get the half hour show???????????? I wonder if we can speak to Kate about how we condense a 30 min format down to something more managable.

Love the research guys. I noticed that the opening soundtrack for most of the stories is usually traditional/ identifyable music for the country of filming. Also they focus on individuals stories (3-4 people) as being part of an overall big story like for example, London riots, Earthquake in Japan, China in Tibet. In doing this they maintain the strong focus on story telling but within a bigger story. The endings are usually emotive but hopeful. Let me know what you want me to do before next week. Hopefully I will have a car/any car by Mon or Tues. Linda
