Dreaming of BPJing...

[New and improved...No Talent Hack]

I posted this in Open Line, but thought I'd repost it here...double the pleasure!

=====

So I need to expedite a tape for a BPJ position I've come across, but haven't cut a "specific" tape for this kind of position.

Give me a rundown of what my montage should look like - standups/unique interviews/quick sequences?

I've got some solid stuff pkg-wise...do I also throw on my anchoring and reporting samples that I DIDN'T shoot?

Thanks graemlins/icon_kidra.gif

Not sure you need one. There is a Gannett station in my market that uses BPJs in both news and sports. I don't watch often but from what I've seen they seldom appear on camera. Seeing you perform on camera will not be the top priority for an ND hiring for one of these positions.

Consider omitting the montage. Start with packages you have shot followed by live examples and anchoring after.
