Multimedia Ideas for Feature Story

From the assignment that we had to do yesterday, I gathered some mulitmedia ideas for my final feature story.

CBS put together a slide show of photographs of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau's life--some pictures of here working and some of her personal life, with other pets. They also have a caption for each photo. For my project, I could get photos of the IHOP restaurants in Chillicothe and Lancaster, and then photos of some breakfast places around Columbus, as well as sites where a possible IHOP could be built around the campus area.

As far as videos, I like this one that I found from local news station in Georgia, about National Pancake Day at IHOP. I like the video because it has a human element to it. It shows families enjoying breakfast and interviews an employee. If I were to do something like this, I would obviously have to get permission from anyone in the restaurant before I film them eating. The only problem is the lack of an IHOP nearby...I'd have to drive to Lancaster to do this.

This video is a little bit different, because it is from a blog and the main source is the owner of the restaurant. The interview is done in the restaurant, which I like. You can still see the restaurant operating in the background. My idea for something like this would be to go to the Little Bar on High St., since that used to be an IHOP. If the owner is knowledgeable about the previous IHOP, I could interview him in front of the bar. The bar has the familiar, old-fashioned, a-frame style IHOP roof, and would be the reason for interviewing him in front of the bar.
