Summary
This is a story about 16 year old Brandon Olander and how he is the youngest in the 2014 Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corp. CBS Evening News did a story about him and how he got started into drumming as well as show off his skills and what it takes to be a drum corp.Overall the story was very interesting and it showed how hard it is do make the Blue Devils and show how Brandon was willing to work at his ultimate goal.
Review
The story was told well, it started out with showing clips from the performance in semi-finals, and then went backwards and talked about how Brandon got to that level.
One thing I saw that I would apply to my own work is start using more gnat sound as well as get more POV shots. Something I saw that I have been using is the writing was very creative and didn't say the same thing over and over again. They also used videos from the past which I used in some of my videos.
The CBS reporter did a good job of transitioning from topic to topic about Brandon and getting interviews from him and the percussion instructor Scott Johnson as well as changing shots more quickly and using animated transitions. Something I saw in the interviews was that they were in the center more than either the left or right side so maybe move them over just slightly.
Conclusion
This was a really good story and it shows that if you have a dream and really want it to come true, then it takes a lot of effort into making it happen which Brandon did just that.
