 6.  This story uses Bob Dotson's Building Blocks by the sound bites, words, silence, natural sound,  pictures, and graphics. the author used silence well in this story.  In this story silence was particularly a good thing to have to show the significance for this story to show and highlight the emotion of everything that is going on. The reporter would pause leaving silence to fill the the gap creating more emotion.  they used graphics throughout the story. They let us infer or make connections to the situations going on in the scenes. they also used a of a grandma holding a son that was pretty powerful.

Sound Bites:

“During the summer months we ice most of our drinks. A lot of our customers still need there caffeine fix so if they usually get a latte they will come in and get an ice latte instead.”

B-roll- Tight shot  

“I probably come in here two to three times a week, usually. Maybe max three times a week.”

“Well typically I like a hot cup of coffee, but in the summer it’s just really nice to come in and get a cool drink.”

B-roll- medium shot to tight shot 

“I’ve got the ice Mud Puddle right here, one of their classics. It’s got vanilla, and mocha, A little bit of chocolate mixed in there, and mix it all up with some ice and it’s a good, good drink. A little bit of cream and it tops it all off.” 

B-roll- tight shot/linking shot of coffee 

“We read a lot of medical books and herb books and they said drinking coffee can actually cool you down than drinking cold sodas and stuff. It has something to do to reduce the heat of the body, and it seems to do okay.”

B-roll- medium shot 

 

Stand ups:

“Everybody knows to come down town to the Mud House for a great cup of coffee, but no one wants coffee when it’s 105 degrees.” 

Broll- medium shot 

“For coffee shops like the Mud House there is one way to beat the heat, and that’s to offer refreshing, cold drinks.”

B-roll- medium shot 

“Another great thing about the Mud House is that once you get your drink and sit down, there’s a lot of great artwork.”

 How to defeat the TV remote control

I think the TV remote analogy was awesome. I've learned from experience if someone is telling a story I don't really have any connection with, I'm usually not very interested and engaged in the story they're telling. I agree that it is very important for people to find topics that include emotions or feelings that many people can connect with. For instance, The Boston Bombing. If someone is telling a sad heartfelt story, a majority of the people reading are going to have the same sort of emotions while listening to the story. Each story told, should try to include as many people as possible. Imagery is also key, because you want your listeners to be able to feel like they're experiencing the story rather than just listening.
Be conversational

I don't know if I completely agree with the conversational statement, because although someone may be a very intelligent person who writes real well, they may not use correct grammar, and could even make the listeners judge the person for how they talk. For instance, I know many girls that are very intelligent but if they're adding words such as "like" and other teenage girl slang, they might not come across as well as someone who has correct grammar and doesn't include much slang.
Gobbledygook and clichés

I think it is very important to avoid any "Gobbledygook" and cliches. There is a lot of slang in our society these days and you don't want to confuse the listener. People also need to remember to be creative and use their own words/phrases rather than using all sorts of cliches.
Active voice

Active voice is SO important in stories. Nobody wants verbiage in the story, people just want to know the main point with important details. Using active voice can prevent the story teller from rambling and boring the listener. It's important to make the listeners feel involved and with active voice, which produces more imagery in the story.

Writing in Threes

I feel like writing in threes isn't that important in story telling. I could see how it could be somewhat effective but overall I feel like it's kind of pointless. I think there's a better chance that people will remember vivid images rather than a chunk of words.
Surprises

I love surprises! I think they are an awesome component to any story! There's nothing better than reading or listening to a story, then it instantly changes up and shocks the listener. Surprises really help the listener stay engaged because when the story begins to twist a little bit, it makes them want to hear what happens next! Overall I think surprises are very fun for the listener and even the story teller!

Read this story and watch this one (a bit of a sports theme this week). Write two paragraphs (one about each) that explains how the story uses/handles at least three of these aspects. Give specific examples (100 words in each paragraph, so at least 200 total words)

The story about Nick and Nate winning $50,000 and returning it all, was so inspirational. There are very few people that would return all that money. It was definitely a huge surprise. I had no clue that the boys were going to decide to return the money but they did, which was pretty shocking to me. Another aspect that was included in the story was active voice. The article explained "Nate started going bonkers at the other end of the ice, high-fiving and pogo-sticking." It created the image in my head that he was completely ecstatic and so surprised. Another aspect included was the conversational aspect. Without getting off topic or rambling, the story teller explained how the boys switched classes one day to pretend to be the other which was just a little detail to show that you really couldn't tell the two boys apart.

The story about the parents with 12 boys who all played football was unbelievable. It was a very interesting story to listen to. There was a lot of active voice included when the reporter explained about all 12 of the boys playing football. There was even active voice when the mom explained how the boys wanted to keep the green carpet because it resembled a football field to them. The story was very conversational. The mom included how she was so sad that she was watching her youngest son's last football game. It really showed her passion for watching her boys play. The surprise that was included was that although she was heartbroken that it was her last game to watch her son, she was excited to watch many of her 49 grandchildren participate in the same sport.

1. I learned that Bob Dotson likes to his own approach on the story. He also likes to think outside the box and get ideas most people wouldn't normally have. Bob really likes to make the people in his interviews uncomfortable because then it will lead to more conversations. According to Bob you shouldn't come out too strong for an interview because then it will put more pressure on them to talk and you wouldn't have a good interview. One of his best techniques was the Non-Question/Question which can help bring more into the conversation than before.

2. I also learned the different type of ways that interviews can be taken. Also how to intrigue your interviewer by asking the right questions and having the right approach to make sure they talk back. Also i learned how filling the silence can make people want to talk more and they don't even know it. Filling in the  silence is a technique many reporters or people trying to get a story use to get information out of their subject.

3. In each column it was telling a little bit about each victim who died in that tragic shooting. Some of the columns were showing how some of the girls classmates felt and how much they missed their friends. Also it was showing how he was filling the silence and making the students talk more and more about how special their friends were to

4.The scene of this shot was at a pool party with a group of kids on an ordinary spring hot day. It was a nice time for them to sit back and relax and enjoy the sun. They were soon scared when they saw a vicious beast approaching. Foreshadowing came when he said things can be pretty unbearable. He said that because it was a live bear running through the neighbors backyards and swimming pools. The conflict of this enormous problem was that a grizzly bear was on the loose in a common backyard which could really harm people. Luckily no one was hurt during the bears little free time which is always a good sign. As the reporter was talking about the story his level of his voice seemed to get more and more worried the closer this bear came to the people that was the character growth. The resolution to this story was that the people became aware of the bears early so they were able to clear the area and get inside before the bear could do any harm or danger.
