5.2 Synopsis of the complete programme
The news programme will consist of a headline about global warming. I am going to shoot the programme in east London near a park/forest/lake. After the headline has been reported, there will be a scene showing the travel journey's on the roads followed by a weather forecast. The title of the news programme will be called "The East End Local news", and the logo will be "ELN News", this will stand for the title " East End Local News" I chose this title because the news programme will be about information/events that are happening around the east end. The target audience will be 18 and over this is because the information will be in interest to all different ages. The time of the programme will be in the morning, this will mean that bright colours will be used for the title sequence to make it obvious to the audience that it is a morning news. The news programme will start towards the end because the headline that will be reported is not going to be a main headline, therefore a title sequence will not be needed, however orchestral/instrumental music will be played at the end of the news programme so that the audience know that it is the end of the news. The Lights will dim out as the anchor finishes saying the news.

5.1 Analysis of two model texts, from BBC & Channel 4 News
Deconstruction of the video content
BBC NEWS
Camerawork
-Establishing shot of the studio setting the scene and the anchor sitting down at the desk
-Medium close up of the anchor reporting the main headline.
-A cut from the studio room to an outside location where a reporter is there ready to present the news from the event.
Mise-en-scene
-Desk and a keyboard in the studio room, so that the anchor can switch locations for different news events.
-Screen- this is for the anchor to see the news reporter while he is reporting the event outside e.g. another country.
-Red and white background colour representing the BBC news.
-Red and white background for the title sequence, the lines in the title sequence make up the globe, this signifies that the news is reported from different parts of the world and not only England.
- Very bright lights in the studio, making everything in the background visible to the audience e.g. the glass window in the studio behind the anchor, the audience can see other workers working privately.

-Cuts are made from one location to another during different news reports, this gives the audience a view as to what is happening in that location rather than just hearing about it.

Ancillary Texts
The News:
Last year our media class began to start a local news programme and also a radio script for a news programme. To start our news programme the class had to do research on different news programmes such as; "ITV News At Ten", "BBC News", and the "Channel Four News". While researching the different news programmes I found out that colour and images where very important in the news title sequence. Depending on the time that the news was being shown the presentation would be different, for example; in the morning news the colours of the title sequence would be bright to signify that it is a morning news.
The Radio:
For my radio script I worked on my own, I used a small tape recorder to record what I was going to say in my script. After recording the script on the tape recorder I had to transfer the recording onto the apple mac and put different sound effects using the software "Sound Track Pro". This software enabled me to input different sounds and music to make the soundtrack for my radio news add. Although I managed to upload my work on the apple mac and complete the work, I encountered quiet a few problems which made me loose the work, this happened because the apple mac I was using crashed and I was not able to save my work. The final production of my radio add was unsuccessful because of the inconvenience I had while editing my work.
The opening sequence (Flash)
For the news programme, I began to create a storyboard starting with the title and how it was going to be displayed. The name of my Local news was called "The East End Local News", I gave it this particular name because my news report was going to be based around specific areas around east end. When it came to getting pictures for the title sequence of the news programme I was not allowed to copy pictures of buses and buildings from the Internet simply because it was seen as copy right, so I had to go and take my own pictures of tower bridge and buses that I wanted in my news programme title sequence.
