TV News bulletin

You should now have researched, written, edited and broadcast a 60-second news report on camera. Firstly, well done! Working under that kind of pressure is exactly what Media Studies is all about and you’ve had an excellent introduction to the exam topic too. 

Blog questions
Now you need to answer the following questions to explain your decisions as a group:

1) What were the five stories your group chose to broadcast?
Greenford news story:
National news story:
London news story:
Sports news story:
Funny news story:

2) For each story above, explain WHY you chose that particular story and not something else. Why would it interest a Greenford audience? 
Greenford news story: We chose this story because…
National news story: We chose this story because…
London news story: We chose this story because…
Sports news story: We chose this story because…
Funny news story: We chose this story because… 

3) What order did you broadcast the stories in? Why did you place the stories in that order?

Now think about your writing, editing, broadcasting and group work.

4) How did you make sure the script was the right length?

5) How did you make sure each story was clear and easy to understand?

6) How did you make sure the broadcast was professional?

7) What was your specific role in the group?

8) Rate your group’s ability to work collaboratively out of 5 (1=poor, 5=excellent)

9) How could your group have worked more effectively as a team?

10) Finally, what would you have done differently if you were given the opportunity to do this again?

Finish these questions for homework if you don't complete in the lesson - due Friday.
