Basketball Gameday Journal

Luling, LA – with watching the NBA Finals production and focusing in on the announcing of this game I noticed a lot. My overall thoughts are it looks as if these people have been announcing these games a lot together because they seem just so comfortable with each other and are just talking and not forcing it. I like the commentating and how natural it is and how they were able to bring in there own voices into the game. You can tell the different between Play-by-play and color. The play-by-play did the game and the color talked about the game and brought in stats. I feel I am more suited for color because I know a lot more about the game and can discuss it in depth. With the Volleyball game there were a lot more cons than pros. A few pros though being we did a good job of calling play by play. We also did well of knowing the game as a whole and also being able to discuss it. We could get better and having no blank space with no talking and not talking over each other and fighting for the mic. The professionals did better than us because they have way more experience at what they are doing.
