5.7 Record of Technical and Logistical Problems

Thursday 22/10/2009

I borrowed the camera and the tripod from school, so that I could film the rest of my scenes in the outside location that I chose, but when I put the cassette in the camera it gave me instructions to eject the cassette. Ejecting the cassette from the camera damaged the cassette tape, making me loose all the previous footage I had on the tape.

While I was uploading the footage of the filming, the apple mac crashed and I lost all the editing i did. I had to cut the footage again because the work was unable to save.

This is the TV studio room where the anchor will be presenting the news.



Photographs taken of the location in Walthamstow





My news programme's main headline will be about Global warming, I chose this location in Walthamstow as it is a good location to film because it complements the headline.

In the first scene it begins with an establishing shot of the news studio with the anchor about to say the final headline about global warming. The first scenes on this page is filmed in the TV studio.

In these scenes the camera goes back and forth from the studio to the outside location. An establishing shot of cars will be taken for the travel report.

Conventions of News Text

BBC Local News

Titles

• For the conventions of the title sequence from the BBC news the use of the colours red and white are used to identify to the audience that it is a BBC news production.
• Image icons are used from different locations around London to make it obvious to the audience that the news is a local news and not a national news.
• The BBC news logo is at the left hand side of the screen while the title sequence is on this also shows this also shows the local news is broadcasted by the BBC.

Reporters and Anchors

• The accent of the anchors in the BBC is still spoken in a well spoken English accent.
• The reporters dress smart casual, however in the Local news the male reporters are seen wearing a shirt and tie with a jumper on top.
• The positioning of the anchors are slightly different because the green screen is positioned on the right hand side and the anchor is sitting to the side.

Mise-en-scene

• The props used in the local news studio; Desk, green screen.
• The background of the studio is quiet clear so the audience can see the news room where other news teams are working.
• Bright lights and colours are used.

Camera Work

• The camera is plain and still with no movement, this is so that the audience can concentrate on the news.

Sound

• The music during the title sequence is instrumental and orchestral.
• Beeping noise sounding like a count down to the news.

News Round - A younger audience

Titles

• The title sequence of news round is more appealing to children because of the colours and also the shapes that are used. During the title sequence there are a lot of blue and green and purple used in the background. As the title sequence is running bubble like circles appear in the background along side the different colours.

Reporters and anchors

• The reporters and anchors in News Round are casually dressed this appeals to the younger audience because it does not look as serious as the BBC news, however although the news is aimed for a younger audience, the younger audience can get the same sort of information like any other news.
• The anchors and reporters use more informal English to communicate with the younger audience such as; "Hi There".
• The age of the anchors and reporters are usually between late 20's to early 30's.

Mise-en-scene

• Blue,purple,green background with bubbles.
• Cutaway to the headlines.

Sound

• Up tempo music, drum beats, beeping noise

Camera work

• We notice the camera while the news reporters are talking, the camera moves in an unconventional angle.

Brand identity

• The logo of the NR spins around on the left hand side of the screen throughout the news programme.
• News Round is permanently on the left hand side of the screen throughout the news programme.
