Breaking the News

a day in the newsroom

the final edit

18:15

To watch these videos you need Windows Media Player.

Victoria goes into the studio at 18:15 to record her piece to camera in front of the video wall| about the origins of the panic buying of fuel. She stands in front of a green screen and the graphic is superimposed electronically using a technique known as chromakey. Everything green in the frame is replaced with the graphic: everything else remains in vision.

The recorded piece is put onto the server and accessed by the editor in the cutting room. He then edits it into the final package. Victoria records the rest of her script to picture in the cutting room. With final trims to the picture, the package comes out at three minutes and four seconds.
