Studio mise-en-scene
1. Viewers will see some of what's behind the scenes with
some of the lighting and tech that is currently being used. The surroundings of
the studio is covered with the purple colour scheme making it consistent
throughout. There is also the desk which is present and towards the centre of
the studio as well as the screen at near the desk.
2. The graphics are used to make the opening and transitions
more visually appealing. It is also used to make some of the piece to camera
sections in the programme look better as it could signify that the news is on
the move.
3. The technology is visible during the introduction
of the programme to show that this programme uses state of the art equipment to
bring the news to their viewers or to show technological supremacy. The
journalists are also visible which can suggest to a viewer that the topic is
about to be discussed in detail.
4. The studio uses colour consistently with purple being the
main colour that they are recognized with. Even for subheadings, purple is the main
colour used throughout.
How news stories are presented
1. News programmes typically present the story with the
presenter introducing the story to the audience by giving a brief summary as to
what is happening. the piece to camera will soon transition to either an
interview or some footage with a voice-over describing the scenario. And it
goes on to show different views on the situation that is at hand. And it
finally transitions to the presenter where it then changes story.
2. The varied techniques that they use by having the
reporter on location to suggest to an audience that their source is coming out
new.
3. The type of news to typically appear would be politics,
international, controversial e.g. Habbo, sport, and business related news.
4. In the intro of their show, they give a brief summary of
Tesco's loss that could attract the audience to watch the rest. Also, a summary
for the "feared death of 700 migrants" by just giving a small
sentence and proceed on ton the show.
Running order
1. The top story is Tesco losing £6.5 billion
2. The story lasts for about 5 minutes
3. The other stories involve the food bank problem, migrants
and the Mediterranean sea, the elections, and an interview with Robert Downey
Jr about Age of Ultron.
4. Tesco: 5 mins, Mediterranean: 10 mins, Wall Street: 2
mins Elections: 15 mins, RDJ: 7 mins

an important topic that many are affected by.
