News 12 Brooklyn\u2019s multimedia journalist Emily Lorsch knows a few things about working under pressure and on deadline. \u201cSometimes I have to do a live shot and a quick story 15 minutes after getting to the scene of breaking news,\u201d says Lorsch who spoke to MEDPL 202 Reporting and Writing 2 students on April 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorsch studied journalism with Hunter journalism Professor\u00a0Sissel\u00a0McCarthy\u00a0at Emory University and started her on-air career in Binghamton, New York 2014. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned so much in that small market, and it wasn\u2019t competitive at all. All the reporters helped each other out,\u201d says Lorsch, adding that\u2019s not always the case in New York City, the country\u2019s No. 1 market.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always look for a character. And then I think about how to make the story emotional.\u201d <\/p>\u2014 Emily Lorsch, News12<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When Lorsch does a story for News 12, she usually shoots all the video and interviews and even her own stand-up herself. She has a mental checklist that she shared with MEDPL students who are about to do their first visual story using only a smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always look for a character,\u201d Lorsch says. \u201cAnd then I think about how to make the story emotional.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the visuals, her first shot is always one that shows the entire scene, often an overhead view if possible. Then she films anything that may not be happening later, paying close attention to capture natsound. Her next step is to do the interviews and then film her sources in action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, she gets cutaway shots, which are close-ups that come in handy during the editing process. \u201cMy favorites are signs, flyers, tight shots of faces, and hands of people taking notes,\u201d Lorsch says.
