• News tv programmes are highly significant as they
inform people issues around the world. They also let
viewers know what latest issues are taking place in
their country.
• Television has become a booming form of
entertainment over the years, newspapers have slowly
been in decline as people can now watch the news on
tv as this is an easier form.

For BBC Midlands today ,they include a
theme tune or a jingle, this is used to give
us a an introduction to the news
programme. This shows us a variety of
attractions at Birmingham to inform the
audience what area the news is mainly
focused on.
As you can see there are several images
of the Birmingham Library then it’s edited
to other attractions such as the Bullring in
Birmingham.
Lastly, it then shows us the logo of the
new tv programme to inform the audience
what they are watching.

After the introduction we are shown one of the main
headline news, as you can see there is a collage of
images linking to the report about hospitals in the UK
forming together. Though the speaker is not present, the
audio can be heard while the images are shown. This
news footage is filmed specially for this report which can
be considered as a rush. Not to mention, a bug has been
used which is seen at the top right on the screen as a
logo to inform the viewers. Vox pops are used and this is
seen on the second and third image, this is when people
are being interviewed for the news programme. There is
a cut edit which goes onto the second image of one of
the patients in heartland hospital to speak about the
specific report. This keeps the audience entertained and
informed by presenting different opinions. Next we have
another cut of the chief executive which was shown at the
start to hear about her opinion and the changes made to
relate to the report. They have used a close up and midst
to present the people to show the surroundings of the
hospital. The target audience for this news is many for
adults as it mainly focuses on topics that would be in
interest for them.

In the beginning we are shown the main news
reporter Tom Bradby, a midshot is used to show the
rmise-en-scene to give an idea to the viewer of what
may be covered in the news programme. The
reporter is seen wearing a suit to look well presented
instead of casual to show approve the audience.
There is a cut to one of the main reports that will be
covered which would be about Brexit, the camera
zooms into the woman’s face to give a clear image
of her importance. Again, a bug has been placed on
the top left to remind the audience what tv
programme they are watching. There is then a
transition which moves to the house of parliament
continuing on the same report but in a different
perspective. A wide shot of the parliament is shown
to show the event of whats going on and to show
different reactions relevant to the report and
although the report is not seen the audio can still be
heard.

The theme introduction fades into the news room
with the reporter Jenny speaking about the main
breaking news. A cutaway shot has been used on
the second image to show the screen in the
background which is used to show the breaking
news. The anchor uses hand gestures to engage the
audience and she is seen smiling to make the
audience feel welcoming. A series of images are
then shown on the programme and each one slowly
fades to another to give the viewers an insider on the
events of the Rio Olympics 2016. An establishing
shot is also used to show Rio itself for the audience
to see a glimpse of Rio live, then camera also pans
to show a more wider view of Rio and its
surroundings.
A bug is used to show what programme the
audience is watching, this can be seen on the top left
corner.
