Research on News Package shows
I have been looking into many different
sports VT packages to try getting an understanding of how the generic sports
package is layout and what each consists of. By doing this, it will give me a
better understanding of what is needed for my VT and will make the VT more
professional if I have a lot of relevant research before I actually film and
edit my own VT.
The first VT I found was a football
based VT about a football stadium being replaced by a housing estate due to the
owner falling into dept. This VT doesn’t consist of any piece to cameras but
has a lot more voice-overs. With a voice over starting the package, this is one
way of introducing the news package where as most start with a piece to camera.
This also has the interview before the vox pops, which again isn’t the traditional
way, as most have vox pops first then the interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u42_Bpv_JSA[1]
This news package starts off with a
piece to camera with a lower third after the studio presenter introduces the
news package presenter. The piece to camera introduces the topic and poses with
a question at the end, this is a very generic way of reporting a news package
and most other package do this. The package then has a clip of Usain Bolt
during his race showing him beat the world record, then returns back to the
presenter for another piece to camera. This package only shows an interview
with Usain Bolt and another racer called Asafa Powell but doesn’t consist of
any vox pops, this isn’t always a generic way as some have vox pops as well as
interviews. To end the package it shows another clip of the race with a voice
over to end the news package. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpVrAkLfCLA[2]
Another news package example is a news
package based on Steve Hooker an Olympic champion. Again, this news package
starts the exact same way as the Usain Bolt news package. Starts off a presenter
in the studio introducing the news package presenter, he jumps straight into
the interview with the main guest then cuts back to the presenter for another
piece to camera. This step is repeated a couple of times between piece to
camera and the interview, which isn’t a method I’m going to be approaching.
This news package then has a second interview with Steve Hookers coach, but
again they go for the same approach by cutting between piece to camera and
interview. In a way, this is an effective way, due to it not making the
interview seem long and boring, it makes the interview seem shorter and more
interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLvfldVQPHY[3]
This is another fox sports news package,
the package starts off with a voice over instead of a piece to camera, which is
again not a generic way of a news package, which isn’t an approach il be
taking, but then cuts to an interview with the head coach talking about the
subject. This news package again cuts from interview and voice over instead of
piece to camera unlike the others, which isn’t the sort of VT idea I will be
going for. The news package then has some more voice-overs and has a quick vox
pop of one of the players, which is different compared to the other news
packages I’ve looked at. The package then has a brief piece to camera, which is
essential as it shows who’s presenting the package. To finish the new package
off, they have gone for an old clip of American football with a voice over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp778WjDAu0[4]
