For our project doing a news edit, to prepare we were told to deconstruct a news package to illustrate the conventions of news editing. I found the following was typical in a news package, taken from a 3:15 minute example shown below:
Intro by news reader, about 20 seconds
Video with voice over by reporter, about 20 seconds
(each clip lasts about 2-5 seconds)
Reporter speaking on location, about 20 seconds
Video with voice over by reporter, intro-ing person in interview, about 15 seconds
(each clip lasts about 2-5 seconds)
Interviewer, personal response: about 25 seconds
More video with reporter voice over, introing next expert interview, about 10 seconds
(each clip lasts about 2-5 seconds)
Interview with expert, about 10 seconds
Video/voice over of reporter: about 15 seconds
Interview with expert, about 10 seconds
Video/voice over of reporter, outro: about 15 - 20 seconds (5 seconds for name of reporter, name of news institution, and location.)
