Electronic News Gathering (ENG) involves reporting events outside the television studio using portable video equipment. ENG aims to get compelling visuals and interviews to tell a story for mass audiences. Successful ENG requires teamwork between a reporter and videographer, who must work flexibly to capture footage, conduct interviews, and record narration and sound bites at the scene. Proper equipment like cameras, microphones, storage devices and lighting is checked before leaving to ensure high quality audio and video. The reporter works with sources while the videographer gets different shots; both record materials to craft a package with lead-ins, narration and tags that enable viewers to experience the event.
