Year 13 D/C
Catching up on what we’ve covered so far in NEWS
1. Initially you should have read through the pages on the History of News and you should have made notes. (VIDEOS Available you should watch.)
2. We looked at Section One of your packs – you should have notes on the conventions of news with analysis of the various opening sequences of different news broadcasts (1.3) and a comparison of the presenters on BBC and SKY news (1.11). You should have also applied the FOUR key concepts to NEWS (1.1). You should have started watching some broadcasts on your own to analyse them and the sheets 1.13 to 1.17 are there to assist you should you need some pointers/structure.
3. In Section Two we looked at News sources and where news actually comes from. You should have listed the stories on page 2.4 in order of importance and then applied the NEWS VALUES to them. We discussed News Values and you should be completing a CARTOON version of HARCUP & O’NEILL’s updated News Values. You should have read through the notes in this section.
4. You have started making notes on 17 Nov 08 BBC 6pm Broadcast and this should be finished in your own time.
5. You will be working on constructing your own script of the SHUTTLE story and this must be posted onto FRONTER.
6. Finally you must post 10 Bullet points on your reflection on the SHUTTLE activity onto misty’s everything news blog (on Latymer Media’s Blog).
As a pair/group, you will have been allocated the following task to be completed and PRESENTED at a special presentation session on THURSDAY 11th DEC 08, at 12.30. Refreshments will be provided. It should include a power point with moving images. Your images can be digitised from VHS should you need them BUT you must give us sufficient time to complete the process.
The Presentation:
Choose TWO stories (news items) to analyse. You should focus on the story’s presentation in detail on TWO channels (same day, similar time). This means a DETAILED analysis of everything – the language used, the VTs, VOX POPS, Graphics, The presenters, the news agenda for the day, the time broadcast, the channel’s identity, the length and you should COMPARE it with the same news item on a different channel. You should comment on implications of word choices, the point of view presented, the ideologies and ideas behind the ‘representation’ of the story.
You can CHOOSE the TWO stories and the TWO Channels.
