Amy Bingham, "Preparing a Story"

Amy Bingham at Nov. Meeting

Our guest speaker this month was Amy Bingham the Broadcast Coordinator of WKU University. She shared with us the process she uses to prepare a story for her weekly show, View from the Hill. She also used to be an Anchor and Producer at WBKO.

All of us have stories. Taking your old photos and editing them with your favorite music or audio of a family story is something everyone can do. Microsoft has Movie Maker delivered in every installation. Amy talked about using Final Cut Pro which is professional platform and costly. Jerry Gillette gave a program before on using Movie Maker. Amy shared that they shoot lots of footage that get edited into 30-45 second sound bites. She then uses most of the material from the part cut out to weave the story between the sound bites. Bring your videos to share at a future meeting.
