TV PRODUCTION

News Broadcast

In Tuesday's lesson, the class brought in various different newspaper articles such as articles about the new iPhone 6, drugs, soldiers and much more. Once the class was settled, one person was elected to be a news editor. A news editors job is to decide what stories should be used to talk about in the news. After this, the class sat down with the chosen news editor and dicussed what articles were the best and the most interesting and what order they should go in for when we would start presenting. We ended up choosing eight stories and then we went on to working out the set and then the production. After doing this two people were chosen to be presenters for the news and present the eight stories that had been chosen. There were also many other job roles for the rest of the class to take part in such as being a floor manager where you are responsible for giving information that you have been told by the director in the control room to the rest of the crew on the studio floor. The other jobs that were available included being a sound engineer who would ensure the microphones were attached to the presenters properly and that there were no problems with the sound, a vision mixer, production assistant and the director who is the coordinator of everything in the TV studio. The technology that was used in the lesson were microphones, cables, a playback monitor, audio mixer and a camera.

What Could Be Added To The Programme?
Next time, to make the programme more interesting, enjoyable and informable we could add video clips and include different sections for the different categories of news to also make it clearer.
