The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The diploma thesis describes the comprehensive preparation of a daily news television programme. Information is provided on everything from characteristics to the post-production process. The daily news television programme was created from the desire to test myself not only in filming and editing, but also in the role of graphic designer and sound engineer. Throughout the thesis, all objectives were successfully realised and all set hypotheses were confirmed. The thesis confirms that studio work is simultaneously very different from field work and at the same time connects with it.
Problem
The diploma thesis describes the comprehensive preparation of a daily news television programme. Information is provided on everything from characteristics to the post-production process.
Solution and Method
The daily news television programme was created from the desire to test myself not only in filming and editing, but also in the role of graphic designer and sound engineer. It represents an upgrade of his existing knowledge. In the project work, the author was assisted by Ptuj Television – PeTV.
The role of journalist in this diploma thesis was given to professional journalist David Breznik. David arranged the field locations and compiled a brief scenario of events. He named the daily news television programme Fresh News on his fictional television station called ** DMTV**.
The programme consists of an opening title sequence, announcements, television reports, and a closing title sequence. The programme contains four announcements and four television reports. The process of creating the programme consisted of standard phases of the video production process, namely pre-production, production and post-production.
Results
Throughout the thesis, all objectives were successfully realised and all set hypotheses were confirmed. The thesis confirms that studio work is simultaneously very different from field work and at the same time connects with it. The daily news programme lasts almost 14 minutes.
The programme contains four television reports. The first report is related to the extension with reconstruction and energy renovation of Mladika Primary School – phase 2. The second report is about the voluntary fire brigade Podvinci.
The third report covers the 14th Roman Games. The fourth report is about conservation and restoration interventions. Filming took five days, whilst the entire process took a month and a half.
Within the month and a half, the journalist and I managed to coordinate. The journalist then found these field locations and created the scenario. Then we went filming in the field, followed by filming in the studio.
Editing proceeded without major complications due to the good scenario. The process of the entire procedure of the daily news programme helps us understand how, in what way and what are the characteristics of preparing a daily news television programme. Through the process we discover that for quality content we need a much larger team than just a journalist and cameraman or editor-cameraman.
