Characters Welcome

“The guy who makes pop cans is probably my favorite video this summer, ” says Tileena Leighton, an American Indian Journalism Institute graduate and intern at the St. Cloud Times. Leighton has spent her summer producing one video a day for sctimes.com. The pop can airplane maker is Leighton’s favorite because she likes the character the story is built on. I agree with Leighton, the subject of the story is a character and characters make good video stories. The video also has lots of good b-roll to cover the interview and is edited tightly at about 90 seconds. Great job Tileena!
Tileena Leighton will graduate from the University of Idaho in December 2008 and hopes to pursue multimedia and video journalism at newspapers.
