Plan of content continued

To introduce the interviews we wanted footage of a news reporter in an area of vandalism. We thought that we could film a reporter maybe walking along by graffiti discussing the current issues. After analysing the features used in news programmes I liked how it had been used and wanted to use it in our programme. We thought that doing this would attract the viewers attention as having the graffiti in the background makes what the reporter is talking about reality. We would find an area of bright coloured graffiti which grabs the viewers attention and makes the reporters words real as they can see the problem for themselves on screen making the problem urgent.

All this footage including the interviews would make up the majority of the news programme. When doing my initial research on news programmes it appeared that most of them start with the main presenter sitting in the studio introducing the stories which will feature in the programme. When doing my research I thought it looked very effective having the news reporter sat behind a table/desk holding papers or a laptop as they look assertive and professional. We decided that we would use this idea creating our own studio somewhere with a news reporter introducing the programme sat behind a desk. They would be filmed introducing the news programme and main stories and then ending the programme.

The last piece of footage we would film for the main content of the programme would be a weather report. As discussed previously all news programmes feature a weather report whether it be at the beginning, middle or end of the programme. So we decided that at the end of the programme we would have a quick weather report.
