BBC World News, beginning

While watching the olympics, had a thought that I could just add another exciting mock to the Gallery so I came up with this, please enjoy! They're all endboards btw!

Feedback? What could I do to improve? Shall I start the onscreen graphics?



BBC World News



World News Today



World News America!



GMT with George!



Newsday is broadcasted to World News and the NC, so put the BBC News logo instead



The Hub with Nik



Impact with Mishal



Have your say with Ros



World Business Report, after having their titles for nearly 10 years?!



And Asia



And olympic version of Sport Today

If I deside to do the onscreen graphics, I'll do HD versions of these endboards

Really messy and a bit inconsistent.

SPORT Those colours. That speech bubble. That globe.

Four problems of many.

And don't start with this "beginning" crap. If it's not finished don't post it. Why is this such a difficult concept to grasp?

Just ask yourself one very simple question: Would a broadcaster ever use anything like these?

It's BBC News, so it was already one to miss. It's also rubbish which makes it even worse.

Little something, I don't know how to get After Effects for free! And don't have the skills for it anyway, Made a little something with a fictional name of Haversham today with the idea from BBCLDN's mock!

That's a real shame...



On a more serious note, if you're wanting to make mocks, you need to spend some real time on them. I assume you're on your summer break now, why not spend an entire week of it coming up with ideas - after that (maybe) post those ideas, and whichever is your favourite, develop that over another entire week before posting again.

You cannot crop down the BBC News logo, or any BBC logo! Its in the branding guidelines, the http://www.bbc.co.uk/branding/pdf/1_licensee.pdf one is here, the news on is floating around somewhere, google it. And I dont think the B|B|C NEWS can fade out like that either?

By the file name, its made in PowerPoint, well use the Slide Master to have a base background instead of drawing rectangles and colouring them, and when possible, use the Dynamic transitions rather than normal ones.

The transition between the red block and the first title is really bad! Use something simple, cuts, wipes, fades, splits (if done tastefully) or a flash (basically, transitions your school would use ). They are the only ones suitable and expected for TV.

The ripples are going way too fast, and they should overlap.

Even if you are using still pictures, you can enlarge them then make them pan behing the ripples.

The last image, it looks bad because you have used it as 'scenery' then switched and used it for the end board. Use two different images.

The endboard, the ripples should be at the same angle as the opening for the picture. The opening isnt curved either, its various straight lines together, not good!

And then.. SAFE AREAS?

Dan, you're mistaking guidelines for rules. Look at some of the Olympics stuff, flouting those guidelines but all over network TV!

as for the mock, well....

Heres the WN guidelines, the normal ones arent much different. http://www.bbcwwchannels.com/documents/articles/353/08_BBCGuidelines.pdf

Again, guidelines are guidelines - not rules:

Yes, they have broken the guidelines, by colour I believe, rather than making the blocks bigger or removing them totally.
