The Axel: For my story idea this week, I wanted to do a package on the recent armed robbery that took placed yesterday in State College from student’s perspectives. This piece will explain the situation students went through: getting alerts, staying in contact with friends and classmates, keeping updated through the police radio/social media.
The Riders: For the riders in this story, I would like to speak to a variety of student’s and their individual experience with this occurrence. I would like to know where they were when they found out about the armed individual, how they reacted, where they went, etc. I would then like to speak to someone from the State College police about how this event unfolded.
The Spokes: This package would feature a lot of interview footage with students talking about their experience, as well as plenty of cuts to the places the dangerous person was reported to be at. I would get shots of police cars with their sirens on and officers standing watch downtown. I think the best natural sound for this piece would be police sirens and I would also include clips from the police radio.
The Rim: Beginning- Explain the situation that unfolded with the armed robber and details released from the police. Then follow up with how this affected many student’s residing downtown.
Middle- Insert interview clips with students talking about their experience and how they reacted/what they did. Clips from the armed robber’s locations around downtown.
End: Interview clips from officer from the police station and wrap up with closing remarks from students.
