The Axel: My story idea is about the new anti-COVID pill by the drug-making company Merck that is currently under review by the US Federal Drug Administration. This development has the chance to act as an important tool in the fight against the COVID-19 virus. It is important for the whole world, however for this story, I will mainly focus on the effects in Pennsylvania.
The Riders: My story would be for anyone who has been following the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the vaccine and prevention against the virus. Since this story will particularly focus on Pennsylvania, I think that it would be a good chance to get interviews from doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc. that help administer the vaccines as well as treat COVID-19. In order to get the audience’s point of view, I believe that interviews with both vaccinated and unvaccinated citizens can also be used.
The Spokes: In order to tell this story, I would get shots of several vaccination clinics in the area with people getting the vaccines. I would also like to get footage of hospitals that treat patients with COVID-19. In both of these areas, I will get interviews with the workers as well as the health care workers to provide information and opinions on the new anti-COVID pill. I will be sure to include people wearing masks and sanitizing to help prevent getting the virus. Clips of testing centers can also help tell the story because it adds to the effect COID-19 has to own the world today.
The Rim:
Beginning – In order to begin my story, I will use clips of the area. This will include the mountains, trees, downtown, and clips of the campus to set the scene. I will include statistics of COVID-19 cases in the state. as well as the number of citizens that have been vaccinated. Then I will inform the audience of the new anti-COVID pill that is being reviewed by the FDA.
Middle – Then I will move into the interviews section of my story. This is where I would like to include the options about the emerging pill from health care workers and citizens. The health care workers can also provide information on the effects the pill will have on people suffering from the virus.
End – I will end my story with a summary of information about the new pill and explain that it is still being reviewed. I would also like to include that it is still important to get vaccinated and take care of yourself because of the incoming flu season and winter months.
