You are a broadcast journalist working on a story about Thanksgiving travel. It's usually chaotic, but when you arrive at the train station, you see it's calm and almost empty except for one long line of passengers waiting to board their train. You see the video journalist you are working with has set up the camera in front of the line, so it looks like there are a lot of people behind you. How should you proceed in filming the story? Option A: Call your producer and explain there are not a lot of people at the train station, and it's not what they are expecting. Ask to move on to another story or location, where there may be more travelers. Option B: Ask people waiting outside the train station to come inside and make it look more lively. Activity behind you will make a good shot, and the people are probably happy to act out "busy travelers" to fit the idea of chaotic Thanksgiving travel. Option C: Thank the video journalist for finding the one area of activity in the empty train station. Set up and get ready to do your report about chaos at the train station for Thanksgiving travel. Option D: Ask the video journalist to move the camera to the middle of the train station where there may not be a lot of people so the framing does not deceive. In the middle of the station, the framing will better reflect the situation, but you promise to reference the one line of people waiting to board their train.
