3. Summary
To summarise the Prelim script doesn’t have as many use for
the typical conventions of a news bulletin. The conventions it
includes are the 3 C’s, station identity and sound effects (this
was used on the archive clip, to create the gritty and old
sounding effect). The main reason the Prelim task didn’t have
as many conventions is because of its style, it was meant to be
an informal conversation and so therefore the conventions
didn’t have to be used as much.
7. Summary
To summarise as the Main Task was to produce a 4-5 minute
News Bulletin, more conventions and theories were used when
scripting it. For example in my final script all of the news
conventions were used at least once throughout; e.g. the use of
the inverted triangle. It was much more formal instead of
conversational like the prelim task. We still kept a few things
apparent from the prelim task such as the same jingle, to create
the station identity.
