Content research
The Idea Stage: This unit started on 20th October 2020, and this was the day that my research began. We looked at different news segments as a group and I was able to start thinking critically about them as well as pick up on their conventions. We viewed a five minute clip from BBC News, Channel Four News, and ITV News. All were very different as they all had different brand identities to represent. Something that I really enjoyed in the BBC Headlines, was that the music set the pace of the piece. The shots, transitions, pans and tilts all matched to the traditional BBC News Music. This set a slightly faster pace which added a dramatic element to the programme and in turn fitted with the Traditional BBC theme, as well as holding the audiences attention. Using the music to set the pace was something that I enjoyed, therefore when considering our News Channel, music is something that will have to be strongly considered, as well as the pace that it creates.
