Digital News - News Anchor

For our news production we decided to have an anchor and a live reporter for the live piece. As for the anchor we have decided that she will also be the voice over the first news (package) as they do that in a couple news channels. Helen came with an idea of someone she had in mind, a girl called Francesca who works with her at Cineworld, but she has a youtube channel and does Vlogs all the time which actually is great as she is very confident in front of the camera. Here is a video of an example of a video she has done for her youtube channel.





As for our live production we are thinking about using someone that Danny knows but we are still to analyze if it will suit us or not and also whether he can do it. As for our second option we are thinking to either put an urgent quick announcement over Star Now looking for a reporter or just finding someone that is very keen with being in front of a camera and is willing to do it.

We had a debate of whether to use Francesca for the live or as the anchor and we came with the decision of using her for the anchor as she is quite available any time, easy access and she will be part of the green screen for the virtual studio and the voice over for the package so there is more chance we need her than if she does the live production, as we will only need that person that day so we believe is the best choice possible.
