1. What is the story? (What is the point of the news report?)
The story,Lennon remembered, on the CBC news website is about the 30th anniversary of the death of music legend, John Lennon. On December 8th, 1980, John Lennon was shot outside his apartment in New York. Yesterday, December 8th, 2010, hundreds of people from everywhere gathered around
Central Park in New York for the memorial of his death.
2. What is the establishing shot in the video?
The establishing shot of the video was a moving shot of many pictures of John Lennon and the song A Day in the Life by The Beatles playing in the background. This shows the center of the video, which is John Lennon.
3. What is the introduction?
The introduction of the story is a reporter giving a little background history on the death of John Lennon, former member of the band The Beatles. It then goes to a live video of the memorial in New York.
4. Most likely "sources" are used in the report and they are making comments or being quoted. Name two of them.
Dan Fraiser, a man interviewed at the memorial said, "The peace in his music and just the good will. He came to this beautiful city, I think, to start over and that was sadly taken away from us."
A young woman says, "They were kind of the first band that I loved for just the music, and not an image, or a music video on television, or something in a magazine."
5.Based on what these two sources say, what questions do you think they were asked? Create two questions for each source that you feel they were probably asked.
For the first quote I mentioned, two questions that could have been asked are:
1. Why has John Lennon's death had such an impact on people?
2. How has John Lennon influenced the people?
For the second quote I mentioned, two questions that could have been used are:
1.What has brought you here today, seeing that you weren't even born before his death?
2.Why are you a fan of The Beatles?
6. Identify two different types of "B-roll" in the video.
In the introduction of the video, there is a "B-roll" of many pictures in a row of John Lennon, then a final larger picture of him, while playing a song by The Beatles in the background. Another type of B-roll used is a view of the crowd gathered in Central Park as a news reporter gives some information about the memorial in the background.

7.What are two other types of B-roll footage that you think they could have used(consider what is being said in the voice overs)?
The first B-roll footage of the pictures of John Lennon with the song by The Beatles playing in the background could have had the lyrics to the song instead of pictures.
The second B-roll footage of the Central Park crowd could have been an overview of New York because that is where he was shot.
8. Identify two different voice overs and briefly list what facts are in each voice over.
The first voice over is telling about people gathering around the Central Park shrine and how a deranged fan shot Lennon, leaving fans everywhere lost without their favorite icon.
The next voice over is about the large amounts of people that swarmed into the park, including Canadians and fan who weren't even born before the death of John Lennon. It also tells about Lennon's fame and his representation for the generation.
9. What is the closing to the video?
The closing to the video is footage of the reporter from New York explaining how John Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono, ever year on the anniversary of his death, places candles in the windows of the apartment they were living at that time. It then shows footage of the apartment and the candles in the window.
10. Who is the reporter and what is his/her tag at the end?
The reporter is David Common, from CBC news. The tag at the end is, "David Common, from New York tonight."
