Chip Shop Fire - 

INT. NEWS ROOM, DAY

Joe

Good Evening and welcome to Cloud News. We start this show with breaking news about a fire that has broken out in Southend. The fire broke out in a Southend chip shop. The Las Vegas Grill chip shop on Southend Seafront was set alight around 8:10pm on Monday 27th January and the fire was promptly put out by 8:36pm the same evening. The cause of the fire is still unclear but fire crews have mentioned that it could have been caused by a faulty tumble drier in a room just above the shop. The main part of the blaze was present in the rooms above the chip shop but the chip shop was affecte3d by water and smoke damage. A spokesman from the Fire Crew that attended the scene told reporters that the Crews were wearing breathing apparatus as they entered the shop and they also used a hose reel jet and one dry powder fire extinguisher. After the fire was put out, the Fire Crews at the scene used a positive pressure fan to ventilate the chip shop and the rooms above where the fire occured. More to come on this news story on tomorrow's show.

Airport - 

INT. NEWS ROOM, DAY.

JOE

The next news story affecting the local area is surrounding flights from Southend Airport. Earlier this week, Southend Airport bosses admitted that they had been discussing contracts with potential new partners. The arrival of this news means that flights could soon be available to Denmark, Romania and Turkey from Southend Airport. At the moment, you can fly to 15 European destinations from Southend. A spokesman for the Airport quoted "We are working closely with all our current partners - as well as speaking to potential new ones. We are doing this in order to offer an even wider variety of destinatinos for business and leisure travellers. As soon as we do have new routes confirmed then you will be the first to know." Southend Airport is growing very quickly and flew one million passengers to holiday in business destinations. The owners of the Airport, Stobart Group, bought the airport in 2008. They have since invested £120m, including the new £10m terminal extension. Other things that have been added recently to the Airport include a train station, an air traffic control tower, terminal building, runway extension, a 4 star Holiday Inn and radar. Website 'therouteshop.com' have said that the major reasons that it will serve Southend Airport is the fact that it is a new Airport and has links to Stratford and Liverpool Street via its new Train Station. Other reasons include have competetive charges and excellent slot availability. The key facts listed by the company include having a catchment area population of potential fliers ranging from 5.4 million people in an hour and potentially 19.3 million within 2 hours. The changes are welcomed by citizens and especially by Ian Burns, who owns Travel Smart in the Victoria Shopping Center in Southend. Mr Burns, who has been in the industry for 14 years said "The more destinations they get, the better." He carried on to mention that popular destinations such as Lanzarote would have as much popularity as Tenerife currently. Mr Burns also commented on the fact that Turkey and Bodrum would sell especially well and bring a lot of revenue to the Airport. Southend Airport currently travel to many popular destinations around the world including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Ibiza and Tenerife. They also offer transatlantic connections to Boston, Chicago, New York, Orlando, San Fransisco and Toronto. Southend Airport has been improving and improving since being taken over in 2008 and will continue to grow for years to come. Updates on the growth of Southend Airport will be broadcast in the very near future.

Does the increase effect you in anyway?

INTERVIEWEE

Response

NATHAN

Is this going to make you stop using trains so often now, or are you going to continue to use them the same as before?

INTERVIEWEE

Response

NATHAN

Do you think that the train fares should be taken back down to the original price, or should they just stay the same as they are now?

Mood Boards -

Set Design -

Costume Design -

Host - The host for our news show will be wearing smart but casual clothing so that the show does not look too formal. Wearing smart clothes makes the show appealing for many audiences in a way that it makes them feel that they are watching something official and by also making the clothing casual, we appeal to younger audiences within our target audience.

Weather Reporter - Our weather reporter will also be wearing smart, casual clothing. This gives a professional sense to the report and it also makes this part of the show not too formal to appeal to the younger end of our target audience.

VT Main Person - The main reporter in our VT's will be wearing everyday clothing when reporting so that they fit comfortably in their surroundings.

Resource List -

For our news show we will need the following -

LIVE SHOW

- Table/Desk

- 1 Chair

- 2 Clip-on Microphones

- Whiteboard (Weather Report)

- Cameras

- Lighting

VT RECORDING

- Camera

- Boom Microphone

- Tape

- Script

- Anything needed for displaying information

Floor Plan -

Risk Assessment -

Call Sheet - 

Budget - Camera Equipment £0, Tape - £2.50, Costumes £0. All of the other equipment and resources that we need will be hired through the college. We will use the studio at college free of charge for our news show.

Lights - The lights that we will use for our news show include a few lights pointing towards the host and some pointing towards the weather man.

Intro/Outro - For our news show we will have an intro and outro both showing our logo at some point and there will also be music playing in the background.

Logo/Slogan - Our logo shows the name of our company (The Cloud News) and there will be clouds in the background to emphasise our name. The slogan for our news show is 'We will make the clouds clear for you'.

 This is our logo.

Background - For our background we will have the window that goes through to the control room as it looks professional and is similar to what we see in professional news shows such as BBC News and ITV News. Behind the weather man will be a blue screen. On this blue screen we will have some scenery that will be associated with the show in some way.

Our News Show - The theme of our news show is factual/entertainment.

Location - For our VT's we will be filming in and around Southend. For our train fares VT we will be filming interviews outside the train station so that we get a suitable scenic background. For our Southend United VT we have filmed inside interviews at my house and a friends house and the intro and outro for both VT's was filmed in the Radio room at South Essex College. The live section of our news show is shot inside the studio at South Essex College.

Shot List (Live) - For our live section, we will have a medium shot on Joe (Host) and a Medium-Long Shot for Sam (Weather). We have chosen these shots because they show enough of the person talking as we need and there is also room to show gestures and movement that may be needed at some point throughout the show.

Southend United VT Proposal - This VT will have the same target audience as our news show so we can include in depth views of situations that most parts of the target audience will understand. This VT is the entertainment side of our 2 VT's because it includes something that people can see as positive and not take seriously. In this VT we will include myself talking into camera to introduce the atmosphere and topic (Southend United's Form) and also the same for the ending of the VT. In between this we will have interviews from Southend United fans filmed by myself in mine and a friends house. For the edit we will have the question asked to one person, all the responses, the next question, the responses and so on.

Train Fares VT Proposal - Our train fares VT will once again be similar to our Southend United VT. I will be introducing the situation, then interviews will follow and then I will be talking at the end of the VT.

 VT Research - For our group's VT's, we used information off the internet and also information that we already personally knew. For the Southend United VT, I knew information about the club and their form that I used to ask questions. Some of the things that I asked can be proven using information on the club's website such as the top goalscorer information (correct at the time of filming).

Our other VT was about the rise in train fares. The information used in this VT was off the internet from a reliable source. The figures were correct at the time of shooting. The other information used throughout the VT was opinions from people.
