• Eye level angle is best for an interview
• High Angle shot gives the audience power and the subject as sense of helplessness
• Back light helps create visual separation from the background
• Jump cut is when two mismatched shots are put together 
• News should be informative, emotional or controversial
• Titles should not blend into the background of your video
• A dutch angle is when the camera is tilted at an angle
• The responsibility of the reporter is to be as fair, honest and accurate as possible
