Make it Memorable #2



One thing I found interesting about the reading is how you want to make your news story interesting enough that viewers at home do not want to change the channel. Another thing i found interesting is that you want to use at active voice and not bore your audience to death. You want to make sure it is energetic enough that the viewers are engaged. Finally the last thing i found interesting is it is good to have surprises in your stories to keep the viewer watching and wanting to know what is going to happen. Something that I disagree with is being conversation 
I personally feel that's awkward and I do not really think people want to see that. 


I think in the story about the twin boys it had a lot of conversations. A lot with the dad and how the boys felt during the event. It really showed what was going on and it gave a mental picture of what was happening. Another aspect used was action voice it really had a tone that made you want to keep reading the article and wanting to know what was going to happen next. Final aspect used in my opinion is surprises, it showed how the boys got the money for winning the shot, but how later it surprised me that they wanted to give the money back to the organization.

For the news story about the football players is had the aspect of how to defeat the TV remote control. It had you engaged and made you want to keep watching. It was interesting how they started with why the mom was crying which lead you to keep watching. Another aspect is the active voice. The reporter was able to have a active voice and make things sound interesting and make you want to keep watching. He had a sense of humor that en-lighted the story. Final aspect is surprises you would of never imagined the women had 12 kids and all of them were boys, and play football. I could not believe it my self. Especially since each one of them played football at the same school from first born to last born.
