I noticed they're using different newsroom camera angles at the start of the Six and Ten tonight. Not new shots as they're seen regularly on the NC, just different for the bulletins.

This started happening a few Monday's ago and hasn't surfaced since, until today. I assume the director's selected a different opening shot for a change. Maybe it's MediaBoy giving us a treat. Laughing

Dunno where this fits, but the Thursday in Parliament tv broadcast was terribly edited and im surprised it wasn’t pulled from the 2.30am repeat on the news channel for being so bad.

At literally every point when an aston was used to name the person shown in a VT from a proceeding in parliament, the screen flashed white (for about a second) for when it was loaded into the clip, then again when it was removed. There was only one aston insert that actually behaved normally, other than that the programme was hardly watchable from all the white screen flashes.

There's just been an absolutely bizarre piece on the Six about the local council elections, starring John Pienaar strutting down a road to a funky soundtrack, complete with motion-tracked graphics (with those shots dropping to 25p, tsk) and even one or two of those trendy not-looking-into-the-right camera shots straight from the 2000s. All that was missing was a black-and-white shaky cam with a film scratch effect.

I know it's a bit of a dry subject but that was a bit much.

That'll be the news budget blown for the next year then. Very Happy

Tomorrow Simon McCoy says they are hoping to cover the 25th anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death at Imola, I know events are planned at Imola, Donington and in Sao Paulo

Here's a question for you all, I wasn't sure where to post it but I guess it is more applicable to BBC News than BBC World News... When a channel or programme has to switch studios should they try and replicate the look of their usual set or embrace the differences? I'm thinking more when they use studio A, should they just embrace the capabilities of being in the virtual studio than trying to recreate a studio they're not in? Kind of like when the BBC World News bulletins come from Studio B.

I think it depends on the programme. Put Outside Source in a different location and it's impossible not to reference it. Put the News Channel in D and nobody other than us notices.

Looks like the Marr side of Studio B with the big long screen judging by the decorative grill-like thing above the screen.
