WINOL 2/11/11

This week's news bulletin was by far a huge improvement from last week. I found the stories extremely newsworthy, the filming was sharper, and the editing was professionally done as it the stories smoothly followed on one after the other. I could tell a lot of hard work had gone in to it this week, perhaps because of our criticism from last week, proving that we can all learn from our mistakes. Looking back over my notes rest assured second years because I have a lot of positive feedback to give.

Starting with the presenter, I felt she was extremely well spoken, she maintained a constant pace and clear voice throughout which enhanced the professionalism of the bulletin. Similarly, the voice overs reporting the filming was also informative and easy to follow. I particularly found that the interview with the MP Steve Brine in London was strong as it was detailed and filmed in a prime location. Although some of the shots were a little wobbly it conveyed the atmosphere well and kept the reader engaged. 

There was one clip which seemed weaker then the others, however this was only because of the low quality footage and nothing against the actual reporter. Similarly to last week we established that the outdoor reporting was harder to understand due to the muffled wind in the background distracting the viewer away from the important audio. 

The Sports section once again covered a vast amount of information and news, I liked the choice of music as it kept the news upbeat and light hearted, however, this did end pretty suddenly and I think it would have worked better if it faded out gradually. Finally, the "sneak peak" of WINOL life consisting of mini clips was fun and entertaining, it was a nice way to end leaving the viewer intrigued to watch next weeks.

The video below may help you understand my review, if you haven't already seen it then you definitely should -  all round very impressive features! :)
