The document discusses the production and editing process for a news program. Clips were chosen from the storyboard and cut together, adding sound and syncing footage for quality. Transitions like crossfades were used to fit conventions. Green screen allowed adding images and animations. Shots were framed to engage the audience, with presenters making eye contact. Costumes for presenters were formal like suits to match the house style.
2. Editing
• Referring to the storyboard, we chose the correct clips
for our news programme. These were cut appropriately
in order to use our best footage. Sound and clips needed
to be added separately and synced up for the best
quality possible
• A banner was then added to the lower third of the
screen. On this is our bug which is typically in news
programmes.
3. Editing
• We then needed to put in transitions. To fit the
codes and conventions of tv news, we had to
use a simple transition. There were a variety of
transitions tried that seemed too extravagant
for use; therefore, we decided on the
crossfade.
4. Editing
• Green screen was used during filming so that
we could put in images and animations during
editing. To create these, photoshop had to be
used and we had to ensure that all images
were appropriate, fitting the weather.
5. Mise en scene
• A wide (wide angle lens) shot has been used in order to give
the illusion of the studio being larger. The BBC studio also does
this. Something that will engage the audience is having an
almost full body shot, creating a more informal and relaxed
atmosphere. The background image is of the city centre at
night and thus appeals to the target audience of local people.
Presenters also make eye contact with the camera as though
they are speaking directly to the audience. The colours in the
shot reinforce the house style (red, white and gold).
6. Mise en scene
• For the weather, we used a mid shot.
It was important for the weather
presenter to maintain eye contact
with the audience, known as a piece
to camera or non verbal
communication. Gestures are used
to show the audience what is being
spoken about – for example,
gesturing to where the rain is
supposed to be.
7. Costumes
• Costumes work with the idea that dress code should match
the house style (something which Channel 4 news also
does) and should be formal to suit the programme.
Presenters are dressed in suits that enforce the house style
and this, along with styled hair, make them look formal.
8. Costumes
• Again, attire should be formal as seen on BBC Weather, the
presenter wears a blazer on top of a blouse. We gave done
the same, choosing colours that stand out against the
background.
