Writing Leads Pt.3

 

 Hey! Since we will be writing a feature story for our article, we have to make sure our writing is up to par. Our teacher has us practicing how to write our leads. This is my third one.

Title of Lead: Free Cars Inquiry 

Describe the lead: Twist

These are the facts:

  1. Someone called 18 people in the city last night. The caller identified himself as the president of Rutherford Ford, Inc., 2780 Doss Boulevard. He told each of the people that they had just won a new car from his dealership. Interviewed by reporters today, most of the people who received the calls said that at first they just couldn't believe it. And they were right. They couldn't. The person who called was a prankster, and Allen Rutherford, president of the dealership, says he has no idea who placed he calls, and that he's spending all his time today trying to explain the situation to those 18 people. "Someone apparently has a sick idea of humor," Rutherford said. After convincing people they had won a new car, the caller asked them to drop by the dealership this morning to pick it up. All 18 were there when the dealership opened its doors at 9 a.m. "I told them we never offered to give away a car," Rutherford said. "One woman told me she couldn't believe she'd won, and then she told me she couldn't believe it when I told her she hadn't. Two other women began to cry, and a man is threatening to sue me."

This is my lead: 

      As 18 people were called last night, they were offered with something they couldn’t even imagine to be true. But low and behold The President of Rutherford Ford Inc. offered to give them a brand new car. But was it truly him?

And it made me want to start my own magazine for the end of year course exam. Sammy CCR: That sounds amazing, but the name, what made you choose the nam

        How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?  View this link to see the CCR:  https://sway.office.com/sbZIZfgA8fzoQilq?ref=Link       This art gallery consists of artists who are of the minority group. The feature story gives light to a gallery that supports black, Hispanic, etc. artists by holding their art and allowing prospectors to also purchase from their site. This has been a struggle for minorities such as black people to get their art out into the world. Allowing them to place these pieces into a physical art gallery that does gains plenty of attraction, gives them exposure to clientele. Every third Saturday of the month, there is a an art walk. This is where plenty of up and coming artists, even veteran ones, submit their art to be shown in it. And he does not necessarily have to be paintings, is it gonna be sculptures and jewelry also. They accept everyone and close the entire street down. Civilians and guest are in

    Photo Composition Info Pt.1

    Image
         Hello you guys! Long time, no see. So yes, I’ve been busy learning the new techniques that photographers use to take photos. I even learned Mise-en-scene (however I’ll explain that later). Yesterday, in class, I ended up doing a practice assignment identifying certain elements such as camera shots, angles, composition, and mise-en-scene that were in a video that was shown. It was a mistreating assignment. Although I didn’t not know what kind of answer my teacher was looking for, I explained how each kind of element was used to convey meaning in the scene. Hopefully I did well. Now onto the good stuff, some kinds of photo compositions would be framing, rule of thirds, depth of field, deep focus, shallow focus, and focus pull.  Framing      This is using elements in your screen to create a gram around what you’re trying to take a picture of on your device. So essentially, there’s two frames. Rule of Thirds       This is what photographers imagine when taking a photo (or they can jus
