The officers on your Safer Neighbourhoods team spend most of their time out on patrol in your neighbourhood, meeting the community and identifying and dealing with those crimes and issues you have told us cause you most concern. Therefore, your team adjusts its shift pattern to address these priority issues. Your Safer Neighbourhoods team wants to hear from you. If your call is not answered, please do leave a message on the answerphone or send them an email. A member of the team will get back to you. Safer Neighbourhoods teams are not there to provide a 24-hour response, this is the role of response team officers. Response team officers do pass on information to Safer Neighbourhoods teams as appropriate.

Getting used to the equpiment
Now we have decided what subject we are going to use for our main news item. I have decided to practise using the new equipment as I have not used it before.
Here are some video's that I did as I was practising ( without the use of a tripod)

A tripod was not available and that is why the film isnt very sturdy.
I decided to film the graffiti because I thought that it was one of the many stereotypes that go with anti-social behaviour.
Target Audience
ITV NEWS has a very specific target audience of adults between the age of 32 - 50. Although they aim the majority of their news items to this audience, they do occassionally cater for slightly younger and slightly older people too.
As we decided to base our programme on ITV NEWS we thought it would be a good idea to cater for the same age group. However we thought that it would be a good idea to talk about subjects that would be of interest to younger people too. That is one reason why we chose to talk about anti-social behaviour. Anti-social behaviour affects everyone in the community - from young people with ASBO's to other young people who may be stereotyped but completely innocent, to older people who may be mistreated or distressed because of the effects of anti-social behaviour.

Questioning the Decision
After looking at several different news programmes I began to doubt my ability to be able to produce a news programme that would be anyway near the same standard as many televised programmes.
I started to look at some of the other briefs that we were given the choice of picking from and began debating whether or not a music video would be more suitable and easier to complete. However after thinking about having find music that was not copy righted I decided against the idea and chose to stick with my initial idea and continue with the news programme.

Chosen Subject Idea
We have decided on the subject of Anti- Social Behaviour (ASBO) for our news report. We decided on this subject because we felt that it was a subject that a lot of our peers are faced with at this moment in time.
We also felt that this was a very current topic because the government have just released a new document known as the 'policing pledge' which concentrates on tackling anti-social behaviour.
The policing pledge can be found on the link below

I decided to interview different members of the community on their thoughts of the growing problem of Anti- Social Behaviour. As a result of this I have emailed the local safer Neighbourhood team which is made up of one sergant and two PCSO's.
Using Google search engine I found bexley Boroughs Metropolitan site and managed to contact the team Via the website.

Hi,
Our names are Lauren and Faye and we are currently studying A2 Media at The Grammar School for Girls Wilmington. However Lauren lives in Erith and we thought that you would probably be the best team to ask. As part of our coursework we are creating a 5 minute news report and we have decided on the topic of Anti-Social Behaviour. We were just wondering if it would be possible for us to do a 2 minute interview with a member of your team? Many Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you soon!

Time Management
One major difference between my AS coursework and my A2 coursework is that instead of working individually I have to work with someone else.
The first problem that we came across was being able to find time when we were both available to plan, record and edit our coursework. To overcome this problem we decided that it would be best if we wrote down all the times that we were able to do the coursework and then agreed on two definate times each week, that we would both keep free so that there would not be any misunderstandings. On top of these two seperate occassions, we agreed that if there happened to be any times after school that we could both do, we would meet up and do some more coursework ( if we needed to).

Sky News is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation via his holding in British Sky Broadcasting. Murdoch said of it in March 1992, when he was the full owner:
"Taking nothing away from CNN which has done an outstanding job, I would point out that Sky News, the Fox news service and the News Corporation's combined reach - which have together over three thousand journalists spread over every continent and every country - leave us with an army of news gatherers second to none both with regard to their access to news and ability to bring news from anywhere into people's homes"

BBC News 2008
This opening sequence used by the BBC is very modern and pictures a constant, moving 3d globe. By using the globe as the main focus of the title seqence the viewers are given the impression that this programme is going to cover topics that will effect all areas of the world.
ITV News Revamp 2009
ITV have recently changed the theme tune and opening sequence of their news programme, the new sequence reflects a modern feel which is more likely to relate the younger audiences that ITV are trying to appeal to.
In comparison to the 2009 revamp sequence, this ITV news opening sequence is considerably basic. This opening sequence is based solely on one of the capitals most famous land mark buildings, Big Ben. Having this as the main focus of the title sequence quickly makes the viewers aware of the origin of this news report.
