1) Start with an establishing shot. This sets the scene in a sequence.
Find unusual angles that make the shot more enjoyable and interesting.
2) Establishing shots don't necessarily need to be wide shots. A very tight shot can be just as effective, like being zoomed in on a scalpel with light glinting off it.
Lean in and out rather than zoom in and out. This is much more effective because as the camera zooms, any motion is made more apparrent. If you just lean in and out, though, the shot is better.

Shayna's Story
1. What is the role of the reporter's segues in this story?
To transition from one item to another and give extra information.

3. What is the biggest surprise in the story?
When Shayna fell, she was two weeks pregnant.
4. How does the story end with hope?
She and the baby both miraculously survived the fall and the treatments in the hospital.

Steve Jobs
It's hard to believe that Steve Jobs has died. He has been one of the most revolutionary people in the world when it comes to new technology. He basically reinvented the computer, created one of the most popular pieces of technology, the iPod, and designed the iPhone. He's been fighting pancreatic cancer for quite some time now and has had a liver transplant. Yesterday, Steve Jobs died, just a couple of short months after his resignation from Apple. It's hard to imagine a world without his inventions, and I can't help wondering what won't get invented because he's not here.
