SDC News Bulletin


The aim of this bulletin was to inform the audience on the recent story on the French first lady Ms. Trierweiler in a short bulletin. The target audience for the bulletin is students and staff as they may be interested in the story.
As the target audience is suitable for most age ranges the style of this bulletin is quite relaxed; I feel my appearance was casual so it worked well with the target audience. I think I could have changed a few things with the bulletin to make it better including my body language, physical gestures and movement; I think the camera could have been a little closer to see facial expressions and only have my shoulders and head in the shot to make it look that little bit more professional.
I would maybe have filmed in a different location too, still filming in the college as it is relatable to the students but maybe in a different part of the college.

I think my tone of voice was good and my pace was suitable for the student audience age range, like the BBC 60 second news broadcast.
