Analysing A News Package

Field Reporters

Field reporters are usually known are as correspondent they usually have to go to the scene of the event and get facts then report back to the studio or they have to get a report and present live on TV. When we see the field report we usually see the reporter at the scene of the event and then graphics saying who they are and where they are for example at 1:47:05 we see the reporter explain the stages and we also see the graphics which is on top and says the reporter is live in 'Westminster'. Another convention we see is that the field reporters seem to dress smart always as we see at 1:50:00 the reporter is dressed smart as we see him wear a full suit which makes him look important and intelligent, we also seem to see the reporters have a good understanding about the political background as he explains a lot and this allows the audience to know more because the reporters can go in more detail

Links to studio

links to studio is when there is an event which has happened at random and now the reporter has gone to investigate but they usually do not have that much information or facts as the incident may happened drastically, this is why the reporter usually just explains what they can see and usually the reporter assumes a lot. Links to studio is when the presenter from the studio asks question to the reporter who is at scene. In this news report we see the link to studio at 2.13.05 as the reporter is explaining the pound drop then the presenter from the studio asks if the pound value would bounce back in a few days then we see the reporter explain, we also see that the news shows covers as it unfolds, by this i mean they tell us all the detail they get for example 2:12:38 we see the presenter quickly go to the reporter who has new information about stock level and the pound. 

Mode of Address to Viewer

Mode of address is how it appeals to the audience, by this i mean does how they speak does it aim towards a specific audience for example at 01:47 we see a female speak very formally in good English, this tells us that it is not aimed at the younger audience because if it was they would have tried speaking less formal, we also see that the guests and presenters are well educated as they have a good understanding of politics because at 2 min of the news they speak how voting out has affected the UK. Another convention we see expert and well educated people being interviewed for example 02:59 we see a doctor giving his opinion as he campaigned to leave the European union. 

Interviewing Experts and Witnesses

interviewing expert is some who specialises in the specific field or industry as they have been educated or they've been studying for a long time. interviewing a witness is some one who actually saw what happened or was at the scene of the incident. An example of interviewing an expert would be at 1:23:08 because we see the main campaign leaders for leave give a speech and talking about the how the UK will benefit.  This news doesn't have any witnesses as it is more about the result which has just come in but they usually would make a vox pot for the next day so they can show it to the public. We also see the presenters asks question to the expert for example at 1:30:42 we see the presenter ask a question to the leader of labour.

Report Structure

Report structure is basically how news present the information example in the above news report we see them start off with the sign in and context, by this i mean they say who the reporter is and what they are reporting, for example at 2:12;39 we see the presenter introduce the reporter who is Simon Jack and then he says the reporter has information about stock level and the pound level then we see the reporter explain. Another element we see for report structure is that news often like to have graphs to give the audience better understanding for example at 55:16 we see the reporter having a map of the UK then has a graph to show where in the country voted leave and remain. We also see them use archive footage this is clip has been recorded already for example at 3:00:02 we see the arcade footage of the last EU referendum.  

Actuality footage

Actuality footage is when we see footage from the actual scene, for example in the above example at 1:05:09 we see actual footage of leave campaign people celebrating, the reason showing is very clear to show that everyone is happy with the outcome, we also see it being used while the person is giving a speech this is so that the audience do not get bored of seeing the lady , they use very less actuality footage as they may have shown it before or do not have a long clip.
