1, What is the story?
It is a story about the buskers in Cardiff, especially the ones playing with loudspeakers in city centre.
2, Why tell it now?
Winter is coming. It might be too harsh a climate to earn their living by performing in the pedestrian zone since the flow of people evidently declined. The point is whether they persevere in it for their meal or because of the pressure of life.
3, How am I going to do it?
I shall interview them, maybe spend hours together with them.
PS: What I am wondering is how this story would be categorized, a report of minority group? Or just a lifestyle story? Maybe 500 words don’t suit a report, but I think this might attract more audience than a life story…
What a great idea! It must be attractive!
Thanks Nick ^^
Hi,
This is good and should be a lifestyle story (I doubt there will be much “hard news” to make it a report so to speak.
Try and get the points of view of three buskers and start the story with a good description of one of them playing in the cold – does anyone stop to listen?
Do they get hassled by the Police? Are there any laws against busking in the city centre? What I mean is what are the problems they face?
Yeah I see
Thank you so much Matthew ^^
