Newsround News Package Analysis

 

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 are about 45 seconds to 1 minute long. This usually results in a show that is 7-8 minutes long.

This is a perfect show to look to when making ours as the show manages to pack in a lot of knowledge and information into such a short time frame, all thanks to the editing for keeping in the important facts and the time for light friendliness from the anchor. The Anchor also brings the right amount of welcoming nature and seriousness when the time is right. They even know when to throw in a bit of Light Humour.

Panasonic & Green Screen Workshop Reflection

Image
  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

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.

Analysis of concept and content of "The Crystal Maze"

Image
Our idea for the live show "The Name Of The Game" is a live game show where generations of forms of gaming are brought together for a half hour of funny, puzzling and exciting entertainment. The Crystal Maze is similar to The Name of The Game in many ways, it does have the previously listed qualities included in it but many more as well.  The Episode of The Crystal Maze I watched was Series 6 Episode 6: "Celebrity Crystal Maze", this episode was first broadcast in July of 2019. The Crystal Maze is a game show where a team of usually 5, compete in different themed lands to complete challenges solving puzzles, riddles and timed trials. Once completing these tests the contestants are given "time crystals" that secure them time in a dome where they must catch gold tickets that guarantee they will go home with the money they've raised through the game. However if they catch more silver tickets than gold, they lose the money. The show is presented by comedia
