1. Introduction: Hi, my name is Andrea, and in this course we'll learn how to make a breaking news in less than 2 min. You want to be a journalist and work on TV. This course is perfect for you. What are you waiting for? Go from the basics of grammar to editing a video in just a few moments. Are you creative? I want to make it final project that you can present your friends. How about a new story? 2. Research: The first thing we'll have to do is to choose a topic, to find a concrete topic to present in our final project. It can be a certain spot you practice, something you are passionate about. Music, gymnastics, ballot, chest, football, history, medicine, politics, are acting. Or maybe you want to make your final project about a certain person you are. But the key is to choose something you like because the project has to represent you haven't yet decided yet. How about choosing a series to watch a single or maybe a scientific discovery you're looking forward to. For the sake of the experiment, you can choose whatever makes you feel good. Now that you have chosen what your project will be about, we can move on. 3. The 5W's: After choosing the theme for the final project, really have to create the text of the news into edited. We'll use the five W's. Who, what, when, where, and why. The answer to this question would be the first paragraph of the news when to create to make the process easier, I advise you to write down the answer to this question, a document or on paper. The team I chooses for. Now, you'll have to go into the details. Usually in a new story, the most recent events are selected to be published. But today, for the sake of the project, we can choose any events from history. I took the 2022 World Cup final. Now, all you have to do is to answer the question as simply as possible, because that will compose the rest of the paragraph. I invite you to Dolan this document from the project, but in order to form more easily, so you will only have to answer the questions. After we have finished writing down the answer to this question, we can move on. 4. Grammar: The text of journalists must be understood by any category of people. The easiest way is to keep everything as simple as possible. Try to read your text dot child understands it. Makes sure that an older person understands it too. Complicated words and unnecessary. In the end, all you want is to be able to understand what is happening around us. 5. Text Organization: To begin with, we'll need three paragraphs. In the first paragraph, we will have to add acid to the five W's, which we have previously identified in the second paragraph, which will need to be longer, will need to have details some recent statement from the event. And in the last paragraph will need the channel information about the event. Since when it was founded, who found in it, how it is organized and so on. We tend to paragraphs. You can notice that I added a space when I wrote video. Since we're making a video for TV, it is certain that we'll add images and videos to our project as well. Personally, I used the images, I have to compose my texts. One thing I advise you to do as well, e.g. I. Have some picture of messages calling the final. I will definitely add in the text that message got that call. Don't worry if you don't necessarily have those images because that's what we can cover in the next lesson. And of course, you can go back to editing the text once you've got the frames in the document you Dolan earlier, you can also find my text, which you can take as an example. But of course you can improvise because the most important thing is to be creative. Now, we can move on. 6. Editing: Why did our breaking news will need an editing application? I will recommend that after they used the most and that are also free. The first editing program is Canva, which is a multi-functional application where we can take images and use templates. This will make our job much easier to edit our video will go to the video section and choose one of the templates, or we will choose the blank version. I personally use the blank version, which I advise you to use as well, because we'll create a new story from scratch using our text. Another app I use quite often is clipped jump. Both apps are free, but they also have a pro version that you can access if you want. But my advice is not to because the free version will help us tremendously in completing our final project. Not that you have one or more editing apps. We can move on on the next step. 7. Intro Outro: Hello News Nissan enjoying an outro, which we can do ourselves. Or we can take it from the previously mentioned application. We can create an in drove from scratch using Canva. If you want, you can use the exact same video as you train outflow. That's what I will do. Or you can have different ones. It all depends on your preference is creating an intro from scratch is not that difficult. Here are some steps you will have to follow. We would enter the black veto section of gamba and access text where we'll write breaking news will change the font size, color depending on what we want to create. I chose the sports world font and align the text, the left. After arranging the text, we need to create our background. I tried to find a background that fits my team, which is football, but it didn't work. It didn't convince me enough. So I choose one of the big shop that resulted from the breaking news search. I didn't use a video but an image because we are doing everything from scratch. I like this image, but we'll have to change the font color. Now. We will have to bring the intro back to life. After we have chosen animation for our texts, will have to add music. I have the pro version, this application. And as you can see, this sound is on a failover. In this version. I also added many images in a ramping and animate it to, to make it look nice here with some extra images. Now I can go to quit the after if you want, of course you, or you can use the intro as the opera in doubt throw away not changed much, maybe only the size of the text and its place. Now it's ready. I will leave you in the project section, the intro and outro that I created now on them if you want and use them, or simply use the sun from the video of anything for people, for the people who chose the interpreter version from sketch is to upload that video in the project section so that the rest of the students, as well as myself can see your progress. Another way to get an intro is to use a template both from combat and clip jump income that you'll only have white breaking news intro in the search bar, and you'll have to choose one of them. The same is true for PIP jump. You can access this template only if you have a Pro version. I will also show you a free version to get an intro exactly like on TV using YouTube. Video from YouTube. All we have to do is choose the video we want to access it and add to s to the address of the video between the W, W, W dot and the rest of the address. Then press Enter and we will be directed to a page where we can Dolan the video. Now that you know how to create and get your role in tow, we can move on. 8. In and Out: Do you remember that at one point I told you that we would add videos to our project. In this lesson, we will learn what IN and OUT mean and how they can help us in the process of creating a television news. Represent some minute and second at which the video segment we want to put stars represent the minute and second to which it tends. The video. I have Islam and I want, put it all because you'd be boring and monotonous. So I will select the minutes and seconds that I want to put in the breaking news. And they will do the same with the rest of the videos I have. So we're right in the document in zeros 0100014. This is how we'll proceed with the rest of the videos that we have selected. Now we can move on. 9. Voice Over: Since our project is an audio visual product, out text must be Hood. And now I'll show you how to record your voice using Canva and click jump. This exercise takes time. I know that many people don't like to hear their own voice, but don't worry, I have an alternative solution to this problem. Of course, I recommend that you try to record your voice so that your project represent you even more. Let's begin. We open Canvas, and this time we'll access presentations. After placing the video segments that you have selected. The order must correspond to the order of your texts. To put a video on each page to control the transition from the videos. In the upper right, we'll press present, and then we'll choose the present and record option. There is a camera here, we don't need one, so we'll disable the camera function and select the microphone you and we want to use. Now we can start reading our text when finished, select the recording and save the recording. At the end, we'll find your registration in the section on the left called uploads. We open clip jump and it will create a new folder called Breaking news. After that, we'll select Create a new video and editing application will open. On the left of the screen, we'll select, Record and create. From where we will choose screen, will record everything with the screen. And after we have finished with coordinated application and select from the right of the screen audio, then detach audio. So now we only have audio which will add to our video. Another way we can create a voice-over is to use a voice program. We find encrypt champ in the left of the screen, also the record and create section. This time I'll select text-to-speech. Little helper will open in the center of the screen. And now we can choose the language in which our news is. We'll select the voice of the voice and we'll insert our texts. After we add work on every detail, we will save the recording and add it to our editing program. Now that we have passed this step, we can move on. 10. Final Project: Now we are on the last 100 methods to finish our project. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect. It has to be fun. You can add sounds, music stickers wherever you want. Now, I will show you my final project, which is not perfect, but I had fun making it bigger to add your project, the project bar, so we can see your progress. To grant cycle of football took place on the 18th of December 2022. Argentina won the World Cup in Qatar. France by final score of 323422. Penalties after a shootout tiebreaker. In the first half of the match, Argentina to go to 20 lead. Thanks to cause from Angel to Maria, the legendary Lionel Messi. In the second half, Argentina look to secure their advantage by slowing, ducking down both France and equalized with two consecutive calls from Kenya and the themes 23 years old star player. Impressively, one both points within 2 min of each other. Putting extra time. Series convergent Tina, yet again, bringing the score to three to two before bed pulled off a hat trick for single time breaking shootout. Or three to three. When MBA and Randall columns bonnie went on to convert their penalties for France. This is from Kingston, Common and Aurelian.
