This weekend is the Greenwood Furnace Folk Gathering, which I think would be a great story idea for a local news station. It is a weekend centered around folk music with workshops and concerts and sessions helping musicians of all playing levels.
The focus of my story would be on the upcoming event from a general perspective to inform the audience of this two day music gathering that is taking place.
The best people to tell the story would be volunteers and past participants in the gathering who could show the event and what is to be expected for people who come to learn or just camp and experience.
The details I would be sure to include would be specific events from the schedule, such as a banjo lesson (with an interview and demonstration from the instructor) and a “jamming” session. Another aspect of the story that I would be sure to include would be the scenery surrounding the event. There are hikes and outdoor activities throughout the weekend so I would want to show those to the audience as well
Overall, I would want my story to show what to expect for the people who are planning to attend the gathering. I want to express an authentic insight into what the weekend is about so that the viewers will have a true idea of what the gathering will be like.
