Our good news report video contained many conventions to highlight our understanding. At (0:06) we start the video with an animated introduction that has the world moving at the bottom of the screen, and our broadcasting name 'ABF news' fly in to the centre of the frame. This paired with some conventional news style music to start the report. This is a more simple introduction but does connote how we would cover news from around the world. The next convention that we used strongly was our graphics, at (0:21) the graphic denotes Franki's name and a description saying, 'news correspondent.' Our graphics run throughout our news report, and from and audience perspective they allow an introduction of the segment or person thats in shot. At (0:48) franki introduces an interview in the form of a vox pop, here the other character (Ismail) acts as a dad who has been forced to leave his home with his children. The vox pop allows the audience's voice to be heard by everyone and especially in this instance this vox pop creates more of an emotional story which grabs the audience more. The last convention that can be seen during this video was the sign off at the end, at (1:23) here Franki has finished his report by signing off saying his name and location. For the audience this sign off means that its the end of the segment and news story.
bad news report
We further created a second video to highlight a 'bad' news report, throughout the report it is easy to spot many conventions that are missing or down very badly. At (1:50) we instantly hear the wrong type of music, the song 'Ultimate' by Denzel Curry is not something that connotes a professional, respected news broadcaster. The next convention that was done poorly was the costume and mode of address at (1:58) we see the anchor, myself, wearing a dark blue hoodie. Furthermore, the mode of address thats used is not standard english and contains too much slang. Which for the audience, they wouldn't take the news report seriously and the broadcaster would loose credibility. During the report by Franki someone in the background disrupts the report because he wants to get on TV (2:23.) Whilst in many field reports and links to studio, there are members of the public in the background this one got out of hand and does not highlight a news broadcasters ethos or put them in a good light for the audience. Lastly a convention that was not even added in to the news report was the lack of preparation by our field reporter and the very fact that there are no graphics at (2:02.) Franki doesn't realise that he is on air and live, which for the audience it connotes to them that this news report and broadcaster is not constructed well.
