Types of Stand-ups





1.     Demonstration (or interactive) stand-up — demonstrates a point in the story, using props or the natural setting.

2.    Bridge stand-up— bridges the gap or makes a transition between two different ideas in the story (this is the stand-up we prefer in your in-depth and quick turnaround packages.

3.    Closing stand-up — summarises or wraps up the story. (We discourage this in packages other than in Same-Day stories).  The closing stand-up may be more memorable/powerful because it uses a strong visual and a great line to go out with.

4.    Information stand-up — incorporates information you don’t have video to cover.

5.  Scene-setting stand-up — establishes the reporter's presence at the scene, adding credibility to the report.
