BBC News Analysis


Title Sequence - 

The title sequence has lots of rushing movement, very fast paced with zooms of red rings and parts of the world flying across the screen to grab viewers attention.

The globe tells us the BBC gets news from all around the world 

The red rings pulsing around the world could connote a satellite signal, the beeping sound in the music could also be the satellite which tells us the BBC is collecting all the news that is happening  all around the world.

There are names of capital cities dotted around the globe, for example, Cario, Madrid and Beijing all connected together by a line. This also tells us that the BBC news covers news from all different countries around the world.
Typical business colours of mainly reds, orange/yellow connoting it's formal and serious.

The music is powerful and the repetitive beeping sound will grab attention and tells us the urgency/importance of the news.

The "BBC News" text is using the same colours as the title sequence - White text on a red background, keeping to the colour scheme. "News" is capitalized telling the audience it's serious/importance and grabs their attention.  The logo isn't very large and located on the bottom left of the screen, this could be because BBC News is so big and well known that people already know what it is.

Newsreader



Deep and serious voice which is easy to understand. Newsreaders can't show any signs of their own opinion when speaking or this would make the news biased. 

Serious facial expression tells the viewers the news is serious and important. Face also looks serious and straight with not really expression because the newsreader can't show any signs of their own opinion/views on the news.

Looks smart wearing a suit & tie telling viewers the BBC News is formal.

  1. Good work. For "telling the audience" you might be better saying "connoting"
