Feature Writing Preview

1) The difference between a hard news lead and the one from the story is that a hard news lead puts all the information like who, what, when, where and why into the first paragraph where as this story does not. They only give a two word sentence and the who, what, when, where and why is scattered through out the story.

2)
a- Who- 2nd paragraph
b-What- 2nd paragraph
c-When- 2nd paragraph
d-Where- 2nd paragraph
e-Why- paragraph 24, 25, 26
f-How- paragraph 3

3) Yes, there are quotes in this story.

4) No, these quotes are not arranged in the lead, transition, quote, transition style we use when writing.

5) Kevin McLaughlin, Doral Chenoweth III, Ken Andrews, Tony Florentino, Shane Cormier,
Patrick Harris, Ted Williams


6) In my opinion the most powerful quote in the story is when Ted Williams says "I'm trying hard to get it back." This is empowering to me because it shows how much Williams is trying to get work and how much he really wants this.

7) The story has 33 paragraphs.

8) There are 765 words in this story.

9) The significance of the lead and the final paragraph is that they are both one sentence containing very few words that play in together both talking about Ted Williams' voice.

10) I think that the writer did that with the lead and final paragraph to hook the reader into the story and than wrap the whole thing up by adding more to the lead in the last paragraph. It makes the story more interesting and appealing to the audience.

11) Yes, this story was interesting to read. It was interesting because e author wrote the whole piece about someones voice but you never hear the voice making you more interested in the story.

12) After reading the story, I wanted to hear the voice because the author wrote about how amazing his voice was. He also included details about the voice and made the vice to be something really special.

13) Watching the video made the whole story make sense and completed the story.

14) Yes, the story would loose impact and wouldn't make sense if the video was not included. I feel the story was hard to understand and didn't make sense till I watched the video.

15) The writer did describe the voice putting a very radio sounding voice in my head.

16) The writer gave details and showed how amazing it was by how many people wanted him.

Shutter speed, aperture, ISO

Aperture Aperture F2.8 Aperture F16 1. The part of the body we should closely relate to aperture is the pupil. 2. The smaller the aperture the higher amounts of background blur. The larger the aperture the less amounts of background blur. 3. Aperture can affect the Depths of Field very greatly. If you want a picture where the focus is mainly on the foreground and have a more blurry background you would use a lower aperture. And vise versa when you want to see the foreground and background clearly. Shutter Speed Higher shutter speed Slower shutter speed 1. The sun is out a) Quicker shutter speed b) Longer shutter speed c) Quicker shutter speed d) Quicker shutter speed e) Quicker shutter speed f) Quicker shutter speed 2. The sun is down a) Longer shutter speed b) Longer shutter speed c) Quicker shutter speed d) Longer shutter speed e) Longer shutter speed f) Longer shutter speed 2. Setting 1: auto is when the shutter speed is set by the camera Settin...
