The day is friday, I broke down the britain snow news story and figured out how many shots were in the story of each part (establishing shots, reporter stand-up, interviews) and this is the data i have collected:
Establishing: 28 shots (1:14)
Interview: 3 shots (0:25)
Reporter stand up: 1 shot (0:24)

Thursday!
Today and yesterday I worked on an the assignment of reverse storyboarding the snowmobile tragedy story and I hammered out a script for the story. Also yesterday, I updated my blog and gave it a whole new look and layout. It's a cool crisp light blue. Sort of a frosty look :)

CBC Local Newscast Assignment
CBC Local News Analisis
It took a long time to break down the newscast and split it into different stories, after reviewing and calculating this is what I got:
32:51 News
5:29 Weather
3:35 Sports
= 43:10 Total running time
= 16:50 Commercials
There is a pattern in the way a newscast is ordered. After the preview and lead story, it pretty much goes short news stories, weather, preview of what's after the commercial and then commercial break. Each weather segment that is done gives away a better look at weather, with the final weather forecast showing the long range forecast. I found news stories to be around 40 seconds long, with the reporter news stories being around 2 minutes. The longer stories use reporters where as the short stories, the anchor tells the story with background footage. Sometimes, even the anchor starts and then introduces the reporter.
In comparison to Mr. Nutbean’s list of times for all of the stories. I was fairly close, this is what I got: (click on the image to view enlarged)

Learnin' To Blog
I made a blog roll on the side bar of my page. It shows the people in my class' sites. I also started to watch the newscasts. I noticed a few things: It must be a more complex editing system because the titles and syle i've never seen anywhere else, you can usually tell if it's movie maker. The camera shots were mostly still, with some panning. Narrations were done over top of the story footage by the reporter.

The History Of Newscasts
NEWSCAST HISTORY
WHO: The people who participate in newscasts are the cameraman, editor and the news reporter herself/himself. Also the people who make up the news and find the facts.
WHAT: Here is an example of a newscast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dZ8PXABC30
WHERE: Newscasts can take place pretty much anywhere. It all depends where the story happens.
WHEN: Newscasts started on the radio in 1916 by Dr. Frank Conrad. Near the end of the war, they started experimenting with television newscasts. In 1941, television had it’s first newscast. Both CBC and NBC started up and newscasts were born.
WHY: To inform people of what’s going on in the world and locally. It’s also a way of documenting history.
HOW: There are lessons available and lots to learn on the making of newscasts. I hope to learn that this year
