News Package Research - Content

For the news package, we have said from the beginning as a group that we will adhere to make the VT look as professional as possible, with the means we have at our disposal. We have decided that the style of the package will be minimalistic, with a continous and matching colour scheme that is the same from beginning to end, from the design of the lower thirds in the interview, to the colour of the sofa in the program itself.

Our logo will be simple, yet effective, the name of the show is 'Good Morning Manchester', so a simple but bold and striking 'GMM' lettering done in a thick black font inside a shape with the same colour as the scheme we will be using, similar to that of the New York Times' logo:

Finally, we hope to be able to either use a green screen as our backdrop, projecting a time lapse of Media City looking over the water there. Alternatively, if a green screen isn't possible we will hope to use a large flatscreen television on-set, where one of the presenters can stand and read the days top stories a long with pictures, and also that can have our time lapse on, behind our logo.
