News Package Parody- Evaluation

Links to Studio 

Our link from and to the studio was executed poorly because for example when Selim was supposed to say 'over to our correspondent... he said 'go and watch sports or something, Arsenal lost' he also said 'oi cut to him cut to him' this is not the what a professional news reporter will say. This makes the audience think that if the news reporter doesn't care about what he is telling us then why should they, which means that they lose interest in watching the news. Then when Shihab (the field reporter) starts talking he is not paying attention to the fact that he is live and is doing his own thing.

What we should have done: 
We should have definitely conformed to the way professional news reporters, report the news and link to and from the studio. When Selim handed it over to the field reporter Shihab should have known and been ready to take over. This would have made us look like we knew what we was going on and we took our job seriously. 

Actuality Footage 

For actuality footage we didn't use any source of material to show the viewers what we were talking about this is because we didn't mention anything about the Queen and throughout we vaguely spoke about the topic surrounding her birthday.

What we should have done: 
When Shihab was walking towards the camera being sarcastic we should have used that opportunity to include some footage or photos of the Queen and how she is celebrating her birthday. 

Mode of Address

Our mode of address was poorly conveyed, this was because the formality in what we were each saying was not at all professional as we used slang words and word we will usually use around our friends. This is shown in the studio when Selim is rapping to lyrics that are playing from his phone.

The tone of our voices was not reliable or trustworthy at all for example when Shihab was asking questions they were not in the most impartial way. The clothing that the studio reporter was wearing was informal and didn't portray the report as important at all, this is because when viewers watch this they will get a negative impression of the news caster but also the news programme itself. 

Also, body language is a big part of news reporting, here Selim's hand gestures were not the most appealing and reflected his age. This off putting for the viewers because their reaction would be that he is not a serious news reporter and so they aren't going to continue watching, some may find his body language quite insulting and rude, because he isn't showing the audience respect.
When Shihab links back to the studio Selim is asleep which makes the news report look even more informal and unprofessional, people may laugh at the news casters behaviour and so would not respect the programme, that is BBC news. 

What we should have done: 

If our news package was to be trustworthy to our viewers we should have first of all dressed appropriately. This is because we are trying to inform our viewers of a national event that is the Queens 90th birthday which is important as the British public have the right to know. This would have portrayed a better image to them and made them think that we are serious about what we're informing them.
Also when Shihab was talking as the field reporter he wore a cap which is not a recommended way to look when you're trying to report on an issue or topic which is important like the queens birthday. He should have at least taken his hat off and the jacket, although that isn't a big problem because he is outside so he could be excused. 

Interviewing Experts and Eyewitnesses 

 Here Shihab is again not conforming to the professional way, this is because when he is supposed to talk and interview an expert but instead he is being silly. This is not beneficial because he is showing BBC news to be not trustworthy which it should be.
Also, we didn't include graphics to introduce who he is, this makes the audience want to know whether they are being told the correct information by a reliable person.
When Shihab was interviewing an eyewitness we went for a humorous touch which was that the eyewitness was in fact blind. This shows that we weren't well prepared for the interview because  clearly the interviewee was not the most suitable, as he is blind. The viewers are not going to take this news package seriously because the interviews were both not informative and they didn't help at all or add anything extra to the reporting of this news package.
What we should have done: 
In order for both interviews to have been a useful and successful part of the news package we needed to make sure that what we were asking them was concentrated solely to the topic of the queens birthday. This would have made the
