TV News Bulletin

1) What were the five stories your group chose to broadcast?

Greenford news story: Enrichment Week, Residential, and Work Experience. We chose this story because these events will happen later on this following week which a majority of GHS students will be aware of.

National news story: Antibiotics Resistance disease warning by the PM. We chose this story because diseases are dangerous and letting everyone know about antibiotic resistant diseases and how to counter them for future reference. 
London news story: The average price of a house is £400,000. We chose this story because those who are interested in property maybe interested in this topic.  
Sports news story: Barcelona will begin negotiations with Liverpool on Wednesday over a deal for Reds striker Luis Suarez. We chose this story because those who are Barcelona and Liverpool or Luis Suarez maybe affected by this. 
Funny news story: Woman gives birth outside Primark at Birmingham City. We chose this story because since a majority of the stories are boring, this story may attract viewers and bring a bright side to this 60 second news bulletin.

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

We went with the National news topic first as this was an important topic. Next was the Greenford topic as the majority of students will be informed/reminded of Residential, Enrichment Week, and Work Experience. After that was London and since a majority of the target demo-graph live in London might find the houses priced at 400K be very essential. Sports was up next and we picked a Controversial Player Luis Suarez who had bit players in recent player, had been offered to go to Barcelona. And finally we ended with the funny story to end the bulletin out of the blue.

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

I made sure the stories were at the right length by dividing 60 by 5 which is 12 so we had a rough estimate to make each story 12 seconds to make sure each story had equal time for telling each story. As well as checking to see if the presenter can speak in a fast and understandable pace.

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

I made sure that each story was easy to understand by using vocabulary that our target demo-graph would either understand or use in a daily basis. We also made sure by testing it with a small preview to the team to check and see if they can understand and find improvements for the bulletin.

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

We made sure the bulletin was professional by using specialist vocabulary. We also made sure the presenter can speak in a fast and understandable pace so the viewer can get some small summary of what has happened with the 5 topics we were assigned.  

7) What was your specific role in the group? 

My specific role was editor by searching for appropriate and acceptable stories for each topic with help and approval from others in the group as well as having to write a script for the presenter.

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

3.5/5

How could your group have worked effectively as a team? 

We could've worked more effectively as a team by not getting distracted and stop arguing against each other as that would get the team no where.

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

Now that I have the experience to understand what to do, I'll change some time management by prioritising some of the work other the others i.e Topics over practice.
