This lesson I've been looking at different news reports on a variety of subjects, mainly from Newsround, to get a rough idea of the package as a whole, for example, what they wear, where they stand in accordance to the camera, how they speak (informal, formal), if they use a microphone or not etc. The reason i looked in detail to this news channel is because it is very closely matched to the 'feel' of our news channel purely because it is more suited for the younger generation, i.e teenagers.
ITEM 1: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/13877119
ITEM 2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00vhl5j
Reffering to item 1 you can see that the reporter is wearing fairly informal clothes (a plain t-shirt, fashionable jacket and jeans) whereas in item 2 the reporter is dressed somewhat the opposite, wearing a shirt, smark trousers and shoes and a blazer. Also notice that in item 1 even his guest speaker is dressed informally wearing just a hoodie however in item 2, again, there is a distinct difference and his guest speaker is also wear smart attire. Another aspect I picked up on was the non diegetic sounds in both clips. Item 1's non diegetic sound is a well know pop song which all the current generation i'm sure are aware of. They lyrics of the song are clear enough and they also match to the subject they are talking about. On the other hand item 2's non diegetic sounds are not as familiar. The music played is just an upbeat rhythm with no lyrics heard.
All these aspects contribute to the target audience in my opinion and taking influence to the news channel that is most similar to ours our group will hopefully take these aspects on board to make our news package as suitable and as enjoyable for them as possible!
