BBC News at Six

Basic details-

1. BBC stands for British Broadcasting Corporation.
2. A conundrum in public service broadcasting is how to ensure that a publicly- funded broadcast can remain independent from political control. It ensures that it is British people who pay for the BBC, not the government.
3. BBC's famous mission statement is to inform, educate and entertain.
4. BBC has a remit to be the bbc's most popular channel and attract high viewing figures.
5. BBC news at 6 fits into the remit as it is shown at the start of prime time when a lot of people are watching TV.

Presenters-

1. The presenters are Sophie Raworth and George Alagiah.
2.The presenters of BBC News wear very smart casual clothes for example Sophie Raworth wears dresses to show that she is smart and George Alagiah wears a suit with a tie which shows that he is smart and to show to the audience that he's taking it serious/ mature.
3.The TV News programme might use many presenters to make sure the viewers do not listen to just one presenter throughout the whole of the 28 minutes which will entertain the audience.
4.Other reporters or presenters are used in the TV news programme to present different news stories because the audience could get bored of watching one presenter throughout the whole news programme presenting each story to the viewers.
5.There is a balanced male and female presenters as they have one female and one male that is always seen on the show which makes it easy and shows to the audience that they are a diverse company and programme.

Opening Sequence 

1) The first shot is the graphics of the name of the news show.
2) The opening sequence includes graphics as it has graphics in the first few shots of the BBC news title and a moving screen which continuously shows moving animations.
3) Music is used in the opening sequence as it is used as the theme song of the BBC news title.
4) The audience are told the several stories that will be shown throughout the programme and all of the titles of the stories are introduced to them so that they know what they are going to be watching in that episode.

Studio mise-en-scène-

1) The audience can see the cameras that are set in place to record the programme as well as the desks, the lights, the screen behind that the news is presented on as well as the studio.
2) The presenters are behind desks and I think this is because they have scripts or newspapers behind them to read everything that they need to say. Also, it looks more professional therefore it appeals to the audience,
3) Journalists and technology such as the cameras are visible to the audience and this shows them how everything done so that it feels more realistic to the viewers.

4) The studio is red as a background and has 4 main colours; black, white, red and grey.

How news stories are presented- 

1. The news programme typically presents a story by:

The presenter talking to the camera about the news headline and they have animations giving more information with the presenter talking over the animation. Also Interviews with a significant person or members of the public.

2. -Presenter talking to the camera and reporter at a different location.
-Interviews with significant people or members of the public

-Animations on the animated screen 

3.- Political
-International
-Local (UK)
-Sport
-Celebrity 

4.-The election
-The migrants 

Running order-

1) The top story is the elections.
2) The top story lasts 7 minutes.
3) It will cover the earthquake in Nepal.
4) Each story is shown for 4 minutes.
5) It was shown for the time that it was because they weren't as important as the main story.

Audience

1) The target audience is mainly families.
2) 4 million viewers.
3) Someone might choose to watch this TV news programme over others because it is more traditional news and has been running for years therefore it is trustworthy and reliable.
4) There is an opportunity for the audience to get involved with the TV news programme as it has a website that people can visit and they also provide you with an email to send in your views.
5) The programme offers...

Institution

1) BBC offers BBC news at One, BBC news at Ten, CBBC and Cbeebies.
2) Ofcom has a set of rules which is called the Broadcasting code and they make sure that the TV news is fair and accurate by letting viewers call and complain about what they have seen so that OFCOM can review it.
3) I agree with the accusation that the news is dumbed down because in one of the shows they put a down arrow on an animated receipt when it clearly said decrease beside it.

TV News and New/Digital Media

1) The TV News programme has a dedicated website called BBC News.
2) The website offers viewers a chance to get involved with the news and send in videos.
3) The TV news programme has a twitter feed.
4) The Twitter feed promotes the programme by tweeting what is going to be shown next on the news and when the next programme airs.
5) There is an opportunity for the audience to get involved in the programme and submit news stories.
