This is a medium um close up which shows several police officers. It helps us see the concern on their faces as they watch their former partner. The amount of people than you can see in this screenshot not only makes the viewer assume that the main protagonist is too powerful for one police officer alone but raises the tension by showing how many people are about to attempt to catch the main protagonist.



Wide shot
This is a wide shot image, a wide shot image allows us to see were the scene is set.In this wide shot image we are able witness a old car that has been vandalized as well as sabotaged. Furthermore, in the background we can see construction work as there are worker stands behind the old car.Also this scene tells the audience the image has been taken from the front of an alley way, you can tell this because we can see dimness and shadows. In addition, the shops are under construction so this lets the audience know that running into an alley way isn't an ideal area as there could be other criminals around. Behind the car you’re able to see Tom Cruise sprinting from flying officers.





Close up (CU)
The close up allows the audience to witness the characters facial expressions and emotion which seems to be unsure or uncertain. This is showing one aspect of the character which his his face. As the audience - due to the type of shot - can only see the face of the main character it shows that the character is trapped by many people or an obstruction.

  •                        
     The first day watching 4 news the stories that appeared were about Ashya Kings family being stopped from seeing him, British Jihads and a panda not GIVING BIRTH

    The second day the story of Ashya King and his family appeared again, child exploitation and the yes programme.

    The third day the stories on 4 news were  about youth being radicalized, a american journalist being murdered and Ashya King.

    I think the editors decided to put the stories in this order so the stories get less serious as the programme goes along.

    1) What were the five stories your group chose to broadcast?
    Greenford news story: Year 10's And 11's Leaving
    National news story: Doctor Beaten Up At Manchester
    London news story: Man Dies From Punch4Punch Game
    Sports news story: American Booted From World Cup
    Funny news story: Woman Gives Birth Outside Of primark

    2) For each story above, explain WHY you chose that particular story and not something else. Why would it interest a Greenford audience? 
    Greenford news story: We chose this story because this leaves the Year 9's as the only GSCE year group left, thus all the responsibility and pressure from the Year 10's and 11's handed over to them.
    National news story: We chose this story because this proves to the younger years how it's not safe to speak to strangers at night, because you notice the violent streak in them when they lash out.
    London news story: We chose this story because this also shows to the younger years that violent and idiotic games like this
     can threaten lives.
    Sports news story: We chose this story because the whole globe is linked by the World Cup; also the World Cup has dominated the media world.
    Funny news story: We chose this story because this is an unusual place to give birth but it's also heart warming to find out that mother and baby are doing fine. 


    3) What order did you broadcast the stories in? Why did you place the stories in that order? 



    1.           National News Story
    2.           Greenford News Story
    3.           Sports News Story
    4.           London News Story
    5.           Funny News Story
             
    Now think about your writing, editing, broadcasting and group work.


    4) How did you make sure the script was the right length?
     She  used the stopwatch app on her phone to test how many seconds she took to read out the script.


    5) How did you make sure each story was clear and easy to understand? she 
     just spoke with a loud, clear voice.
    We made sure the broadcast was professional by using high level vocabulary and speaking loud and clear.



    6) How did you make sure the broadcast was professional?
     She spoke loud and clear.


    7) What was your specific role in the group? I was the journalist

    8) Rate your group’s ability to work collaboratively out of 5 (1=poor, 5=excellent)
     
    I would say either 4/5 


    9) How could your group have worked more effectively as a team? I say everyone was a good tribute to the team and we worked effectively.
