We all felt that our youth show should try and differentiate itself from the formal presentation of hard news programmes. Our main influence came from ‘Live From Studio Five’, where presenters discuss and banter with the news. The youth are often portrayed as violent and anti-social, so we decided to be creative and instead showcase them as exemplars of society. Re-editing our documentary footage of Emma was efficient and gave us the opportunity to rectify last week’s mistakes.
It was paramount that we incorporated social networking into our youth show. It was my role to design our logo in Photoshop and then transfer this as a wallpaper and avatar to our Twitter and Facebook pages. I used the same logo in our opening and closing credits so that it gave a sense of branding and continuity in our show.
To represent Noel and the student demographic, a section in our documentary was devoted to buying and cooking a Christmas dinner. The colour and range of people talking in this ‘mini package’ made it one of our strongest segments. Unfortunately, by filming so much footage we had given ourselves very little time to cover the news. Our news agenda was catered well to our audience, but had to be glossed over with passing comments from the three presenters. If we had had them standing and discussing the news in more detail, our show would have improved. Our studio work, including the use of the auto-cue and tricaster was particularly strong on the day. My roles included both editor and vision mixer, which I felt were carried out with appropriate leadership and teamwork.
