Week 12

This week was the dress rehearsal and full run through of the program. To begin we were set up as the panel and read through our individual scripts on the cue prompter. I used vocabulary exercises and deep breaths before hand to ensure my reading would flow during my presentation. Running through the program, Tom was our key focus host and from there I was the news presenter, with each reporter also presenting their own segment.

We ran through the program according to the script and rundown sheet, with only two takes. Our original take was used as a dress rehearsal to monitor how our presentation would run. During the program we noticed that our discussions were lacking excitement and so we formulated directed questions the second time around to ensure the conversions flowed with informed opinions.

 The idea of having a panel worked well with our hard hitting news theme. Again, the program flowed exactly how we intended with only a few minor issues throughout the segment introductions. In the future, we would continue a similar project, but would like to add in more live news programs.

Personally, I believe adding in a news, weather and sport segment would be highly beneficial; fitting in with the hard news program. in addition to this, I would also add in celebrity news, money minute and possibly a social media feedback system allowing the audience to be involved in live chats. These are all pieces we could add into the program if it were re-done.
