    What did I get out of this?

    I think i got a lot out of this because I researched job sectors and I learned much more about different kinds of jobs within the media and BBC, This has also helped me in my own personal career, it helps because I have more of an idea what I have to aim for to achieve my choice in career. I talked to an news reporter and he explained it in depth about what he does for around 30 minutes, he talked about what he does on a daily basic.

BBC NEWCASTLE TRIP

This was a picture that I taken it was dark in the room so i had to use the flash on the camera. It was a picture of some of the old film reels that date back to like 20 years ago or more or so, they kept all these incase they are needed for something in the future, for example if the story of one of these came up again they can use old footage that was taken before and also they might use it for evidence. These are so old you can not touch them, you might be able to take them but very gently, They are sensitive to light flashes because it could damage them.


this is the area were they would talk about news that is important but it isn't really important so such as the football results other things around that area, they would talk about in this area of the news room, the background looks like a office but it isn't  it is just a screen that has something inside that makes it look like its a office behind but there is not one. This area is called the news room.
this was the area were they broadcasted important news such as if they're was a little girl who has went missing or there has been a murder, in the middle of the table, under it was a monitor which had writing on it that was based about what he is going to be talking about such as, infront of him out of the view of the camera was another monitor which had the writing on which he had to say, so it was a script he had to read off. If you look closely there is a foot peddle near the chair it is black, that is for to move the script on the monitor further down so he can see more writing which he has to say. The monitor which shows the script is called an teleprompter.




This is a image of the teleprompter which I explained above,
