Megan Jander Weekly Story Idea #1

The Axle:

Colyer Lake Drained for Dam Reconstruction

The Riders:

Fish and Boat Commission Press Secretary Eric Levis, regular local fishers and boaters

The Spokes:

-Footage of Lake and how popular it is for fishers and boaters

-Interview Eric Levis about the reconstruction and why reconstruction was decided now instead of earlier or later

-Interview locals about how they feel about the reconstruction (how long it will take before lake is open again, etc.)

-Get natural sound of the sound of lake water rippling in wind, reconstruction noises (draining and dam building), people making noises as they fish or boat.

The Rim:

Beginning-Start with pictures of lake before construction starts (with nat. sound of lake water in background) and then show footage of the draining/construction. Have standup of anchor saying this is what it looked like before and this is the lake now.

Middle: Transition to interview with Eric Levis on why the lake was drained and why reconstruction is being done to the dam now. Have nat. sound of reconstruction noises while anchor/reporter goes over reasons for draining Levis does not touch upon (for additional information for viewers).

End: Transition into interviews with locals about how they feel about the reconstruction. End with sounds and pictures of people fishing and boating with the anchor/reporter saying the lake won’t be open to the public again until 2016.
