seven elements
Soldiers, Girl Scouts team up to ship cookies to troops overseas
1. Point of View
The story is told through the eyes of a couple of soldiers while they load trucks full of Girl Scout cookies. A woman with Airborne Angels Cadets of Texas also contributes.
2. Dramatic question
There wasn’t really a dramatic question in this story, it was more of a “feel good” kind of thing that reassures viewers that the troops have not been forgotten about.
3. Emotional Content
This is a pretty easy one. This day and age, there are not many people who don’t know a single person serving our country. It’s something nearly everyone can relate to.
4. Gift of your voice
The story was told completely through the eyes of the people involved. There was no track for the reporter.
5. The power of the soundtrack
The undertone throughout the story is simple, the sound of soldiers working and talking. There are peaks, such as the familiar “Oohrah!”, or the sounds of clapping and cheering when the soldiers finish loading the truck.
6. Economy
7. Pacing
The pace is steady throughout, to the point you could almost call it a cadence. See what I did there?
