Throughout my research, I have been looking at other news packages on YouTube and UStream etc, they have provided me with vital information in order to eventually create my own package for our program. I have been able to more accurately determine what elements of any news package we create will attract certain target audiences, and what may turn certain people away from it, such as the presenting styles and the type of guests, right down to the colour scheme and the theme music.
Another news package resource I have found to be beneficial is the BBC website, and the packages that they provide on the site. Through the BBC I have been able to research another kind of news package presentation, a more formal and mostly in-depth entity, the following is an example of a news package created by the BBC:
This particular package is an example of the style of news package the BBC creates, there are several things to note which have been important to my research, starting with the way in which the BBC's logo appears throughout the whole video in the bottom left corner, something which I believe we should do with our very own logo when it's created, and if possible. The video includes a statistics listing section, wherein the presenter of the news package can be heard talking over, explaining the different issues at hand. The video also shows interesting ways to segue between interview and GV, using a range of different shots to convey not only the story, but the surrounding area, introducing you to the heart of the problem that is being presented, in this case a School headmaster who is earning more money than the Prime Minister in an underprivileged area. The video is a good lesson in how to film talking heads and the kind of framework that is acceptable at the BBC is a good place to start for if we are to use this technique.
