Although there are hundreds of different news programme the topics which they cover are similar. Some focus on international news, others on national news, some on regional news, while others may combine them together. To begin planning what shots we would need to film we needed to decide on the topics which we would cover. Here is a list of topics covered by all news programmes:
1) The weather - Whether it is regional or national, it is covered in every news programme.
2) The economy - With the current economic climate and the high unemployment rates this is covered in most news programmes on a daily basis.
3) Travel - Those who work in the travel sector regularly feature in the news with the high tendency for striking due to pay or other issues.
4) Top stories - In every news programme there is a top story which is featured. It is the main focus of that particular news report.
5) The Government - With the current General Election this is widely covered in news programmes especially those London based reports.
6) Sport - Whether it be football or Cricket, this is normally always covered in news reports.
7) Celebrity culture - With the growing need to be updated on the latest celebrity gossip this topic is widely covered in news reports.
As our news programme will only be 5 minutes long we will not have enough time to cover all these topics. In the title sequence we will cover these topics through a series of different shots but only focus on a top story in the main content.
