BBC News at
6 Case Study
Basics
1. British
Broadcasting Corporation
2. The BBC is funded through a licence fee which
makes British people pay for the funding of the BBC
3. To inform, educate and entertain.
4. BBC 1’s programme remit is to: be mixed genre,
to offer a wide range of high quality programmes, reflect the UK and to have
original programmes.
5. The BBC News at Six fits the remit as it shows
a wide variety of news and shows what stories the audience wants to see.
Presenters
1. The presenters are Huw Edwards and Fiona
Bruce.
2. The presenters wear formal clothes to reflect
on the news broadcast and to communicate to the audience that the news stories
shown are formal as well.
3. A news broadcast might use a variety in
presenters to show that they are more diverse and are not just using white
males or females for anchors.
4. Other reporters may be used for when there is
a story in another country and needs reporting on, so they would send the
international reporter to that country. Also, when there is a quick news
bulletin, another reporter may be used for that.
5. There is a balance between the two presenters
and they’re both white, furthermore, one is male and one is female.
Opening Sequence
1. The logo for BBC News at 6.
2. The opening scene uses graphics to show that
“Tesco” has lost £6.4 billion pounds. Furthermore, they have this sliding
across the screen. This may grab the audience’s attention as they may see that
it is their local supermarket which they like to shop at.
3. The dramatic music at the beginning is used to
introduce the main story/stories which they talk about.
4. There are only a couple stories, introduced
briefly by using a short clip of the interview.
Studio Mise-en-scene
1. Before the main story is introduced, the
audience is able to briefly see the desk, furthermore, you can also see the
studio with the cameras and behind the presenter, and we can see people working
on computers.
2. The presenter in the beginning is sitting
behind the desk so it feels like they’re having a conversation with the
audience.
3. The technology is visible in the beginning so
that way the audience can see how the news is recorded.
4. The colour of the studio is red,
How are news stories presented
1.BBC News at 6 typically presents a news story
by explaining it briefly in a MCU of the presenter sitting behind the desk, and
then cut to an interview or video clip.
2.The programme uses a lot of interviews and
video clips to keep the audience entertained, furthermore, the channel uses a
lot of graphics on screen to keep the audience entertained.
3.Political, sports, news in london,
international,
4.In the story about Chemical weapons being
used, a lot of video clips were shown to keep the audience entertained. They
also used interviews to get people’s opinions on the situation.

warfare”

relationship: developing affection for someone on TV, personal identity:
finding ourselves reflected in a character on TV, surveillance: information

Institution
1. BBC News at 1 and BBC News at 10.
2. They make sure that the news stories aren’t
bias in anyway.
3. This is simplifying the news stories. I agree
that BBC News at 6 does this as there is a lot of graphics and clips.
