News script analysis


 

Format and style – it is laid out very sensible with the timing on the far left and what the camera is doing in the middle and what the audio is saying close to the far right of the page. With it being news, it has to be formal to correctly inform the public. The voice over is scripted but what the interviewees say are snippets from the actual interview.

Content – the camera shots and movement is on the left and the script in a column labelled VIDEO and what is said is in a column on the right of the page which is labelled AUDIO.

Narrative structure – the beginning normally starts of with the voice over explaining what the main story is about. The middle is then filled with snippets of interviews from throughout the event and the ending is of the news reporter signing off.

Genre – the genre of the script is informative as the news is suppose to let you know what's going on in the world. It wouldn’t be right if it was bad news and the reporters made a comedy scene out of it.

Target audience – people of all ages, mainly between the ages of 12 – 80 as many younger people will not understand and allot of other people don’t care. This particular news report is for the local area for midlands today.
