| Description: | This is a funny little segment demonstrating what location reporters do while waiting for their studio cue. Segment begins with CU of a suave Caucasian male reporter who is so classic 1970's that you've gotta laugh. He has a decent sized mustache and wears "Top Gun" like sunglasses. His left index finger is pushed into his ear, trying to hear what is coming out of his earpiece. The cord from the earpiece is visible. He smacks on a piece of chewing gum and smirks at the camera. The reporter gets tired of holding his finger to his ear, so he decides to use a cupped hand instead. While this goofball stands in the parking lot, a serious voice talking about a new City Hall parking garage is playing over the audio. View of a sign that reads "City Hall Parking-Upper Level (arrow pointing to the right)-Parking By Permit Only". Camera pulls back to reveal a second, more professional, reporter standing in the lot. Great examples of gas guzzling cars are parked in the background. He signs off by saying "Jim Cox, City Camera News". | |
