They also leave the body within a short amount of time making them hard to detect. Reference: https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/staying-safe-while-drinking/drink-spiking-and-date-rape-drugs     According to the NHS, alcohol is used more commonly than drugs to spike drinks 1 . Shots of alcohol can be added to drinks to make them stronger. This causes someone to get drunk much quicker than expected. Rohypnol (or Roofie) and Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) are the most commonly known ‘date-rape’ drugs. Both drugs can be used to commit physical and sexual assaults as they can sedate or incapacitate a victim, making them more vulnerable to attack. Recreational drugs like Ecstasy, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), Ketamine and other ‘party-drugs’ are sometimes used to s

  Panasonic & Green Screen Workshop: In our Panasonic & Green Screen Workshops we had the chance to really get to terms with some new equipment. In the Panasonic camera workshop, we got taught the basics, where which button was, how the menu works and some important formatting tips. We spent the majority of the workshop setting the camera up before taking it out to test shoot as this is more complicated than any camera we’ve used before. We shot a brief test intro for our news show we have been devising, U2D News. The footage we shot came out well however we shot in front of a predominantly white background which messed with the white balance and lighting. However, we will not be using a background like this when it comes to our final project. The next day we worked on our Green Screen skills, we spent a lot of time setting up and making sure our lighting bounced well off the model, who was also me. We faced a challenge of setting up the lights in a way that didn’t reflect

  Analysis of entire news programme relevant to own project: News Programme: Newsround Episode 08/10/21 Let’s start with the structure of Newsround, I went into this with some previous knowledge on the structure of a Newsround episode, as in one of my previous blog posts I went into the structure of Newsround a little bit. The show begins with the Anchor making a silly and light-hearted welcome to the viewer, already putting the viewer in a relaxed vibe. After a brief 10 second graphic intro with the Newsround logo and jingle, the show starts with a serious story about footballer Marcus Rashford and the important work he’s been doing for people on universal credit. This story’s tone results in it being first as it would be a weird inclusion when right next to the light stories about general interest subjects. We then get a website plug, promoting a written story on a similar topic, before going into a story in the middle ground of tone, fairly simple story about football managers.

  BBC News Live News Item: BBC News News at Ten Episode date: 04-10-21 This BBC News Live Item is focused on The Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp Shutdown, which is at this time known as the longest time these social net works have been shutdown for. This report was made whilst the subject was still not resolved, which means some of the material in this report may not be the same in future tense. BBC News Live Items follow a very specific structure, but it is an affective one to use. When the Anchor introduces the story, he almost tells the whole thing, but instead of leaving it at that, we get to hear more detail of how these events transpired. As the story begins, we see relevant imagery, B-roll of a globe showing connective sparks coming out of every country slowly fade away as we see the companies’ responses to shutting down. We then get the rundown of the situation from an expert in the form of a zoom interview. Hearing them talk about this so easily makes you as an audience me

  Newsround News Package Analysis: Newsround Episode Date: 04-10-21 Newsround is commonly known as a news show primarily made for children from around 6-12 years old, the stories shown on the show usually range from cute animal facts, big scientific events and a positive movement or message that is being spread. However, from time to time, they switch to telling stories that you would hear on more adult news programmes too. Such as the recent Petrol shortage crisis and climate change stories. However, the main things that make Newsround an affective and engaging package are its structure, editing and presenters. The show opens with a brief introduction and welcome from the Anchor, usually very warm and friendly, setting the tone for the show being relaxed but to the point. We then get the headlines, which are all very different in tone and subject but work in the order they have been told to be presented in. The 2 main segments are around 2-3 minutes long and the lighter features
