There was a good variety of stories in the bulletin, the top
story was the extreme flooding that has occurred across Britain. There was a
good variety of shots in this story, with a mixture of vox pops, pieces to
camera, graphics and interviews. The graphic was very clear and helped to
illustrate where in the country had been affected and gave the information
people needed to know. However although I appreciate the fact that this is an
important story, it seemed excessively long and took up a disproportionate
amount of the bulletin. There didn’t seem to be a need for two correspondents
on the same story.
I found it unusual
that the back of the interviewers head was in shot for many of the interviews,
it was quite uncomfortable to watch and didn’t add anything to the interview as
the interviewees eye line would have been the same if they were out of
shot. Another touch which I found quite
unusual was the intense creepy music underlying the image of the norovirus. It
seemed like an unnecessary addition and made it seem like the norovirus is a
lot more dangerous than it actually is. The relaxed presenting style was
comfortable to watch but her speech still remained far too light hearted during
the more serious stories so there was no contrast between the hard and soft
news.
