TV News case study 2: BBC News at Six

Basic details
    1.The British Broadcasting Corporation.
    2.a publicly-funded broadcaster.
    3.inform, educate and entertain.
    4.to provide programmes for all licence-fee payers, it has sport, news, current affairs, and documentaries.
    5. it fits in because they provide news and current affairs.


    Presenters

    1. Fiona Bruce,Sophie Raworth,George Alagiah
    2. all three presenters are wearing smart clothes to indicate to the audience that they take their jobs seriously and want to give them the best stories possible.
    3. A TV News programme would use a variety of presenters for the audience to hear from many tones of voices as if it was only one presenter they would be tired of hearing the same person over and over again.
    4. Other reporters are used
    5. There is a mixture in genders as there is 1 male presenter and 2 female presenters. There is also an Asian presenter meaning that the presenters are different races.

    Opening sequence

    1. 
    2. the opening sequence uses a range of graphics to keep the audience intrigued. An example is when the slides are moving across the screen and giving us a brief of all the upcoming topics.
    3. Music is used effectively as it is quite dramatic until it stops suddenly.
    4. 

    Studio mise-en-scene

    1. there are many aspects that can be seen by the audience. some of these are: cameras,desks,lights and the office behind the studio.
    2. the presenters of BBC News at Six are standing when presenting as they want to show the audience that they really care about the things they are saying and almost do it for respect towards their job. 
    3. the journalists are visible and they are at the location where the main stories have occurred. this may convey that BBC News at Six is showing that they are sending journalists to find the most amount of information for the audience to be told about.
    4. BBC News's studio uses dull but useful colours as they need the colours of black,red,white,grey to highlight to the audience that they are a serious news channel.

    How news stories are presented

    1 and 2. the news programme typically present a story as firstly the presenter speaks briefly about it then the journalist is live at the scene and describes the consequences and matters that have effected the story. Lastly, it goes back to the presenter then they end the story. Additionally, they use images and graphics as well as their voices under the picture.
    3. politics, international, sport,local and crime.
    4.

    Running order:

    1.done.
    2.The top story is the Scottish international party
    3.About 10 mins
    4.They also cover sports. Female football.
    5.Usually about 5-10 minutes depending on how important they are.
    6.I think the most important stories are usually shown for the longest and in the beginning.

    Institution

    1) BBC offers BBC news at One, BBC news at Ten, CBBC and Cbeebies.
    2) Ofcom has a set of rules which is called the Broadcasting code and they make sure that the TV news is fair and accurate by letting viewers call and complain about what they have seen so that OFCOM can review it.
    3) I agree with the accusation that the news is dumbed down because in one of the shows they put a down arrow on an animated receipt when it clearly said decrease beside it.

    2) The website offers viewers a chance to get involved with the news and send in videos.
