Analysis

As we all know we are living in a digital era, in which the most important messages that we recieve are recorded somehow, TV news are a very good example, and considering the demanding world that we have today is very important to improve the way in how those messages are given, this is why the camera editing and filming techniques exist. This techniques can change the whole perspective why have about a specific event or person, or maybe can help us to understand in a better way all the ideas and phenomenons show on camera. In this text, we are going to analyse the filming techniques of a prime time newschannel, and a 24-hour newschannel, to compare them, and point out the different objectives they want to achieve by usin this techniques.

In 24-hour piece of news, first we can find the presence of a establishing shot, wich is used to show in a clear and effective way to the viewer, the place and the context of it, in this case a group of brasilian natives, protesting for their land. Then we can find, that through a cut a new scene is presented in a long shot, in this case a conference of the united nations on sustainable development, after the camera uses a (CU), to show some of the members of this conference, in a nearer way, so that the viewer will be able to recognize the importance of these as individuals. This particular scene, will not last more than a few seconds, as the camera produce another cut, to show us an interview to the UN Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, at first place the camera will show us a Pan movement, to portray the encounter, between the interviewer and the invterviewee, in this case a very polite one, wich is sealed by a narrow of hands, while the interview  carries on the camara will start at a two shot, but it will gradually zoom, until it transforms into a medium shot, showing only Mr. Ki-Moon. Then before Mr. Ki-Moon ends his speech the camera uses another cut, to show us a completely different scene, in this case with a establishing shot, so that the viewer canbe able to recognize the scene itself, in this case a group of eolic electric generators, by thispart of the video , the camera will start making a series of different cuts, to sow us several scenes, in first place we are going to find an underwater scene, whi is characterized by a camera movement called dolly or tracking, wich means that the camera movements follows de action of the scene, and after this we can fin another scene, through a establishing shot again at a low angle in first place, but then because of a tilt camera movements it turns into an eye level angle from a medium shot, this is used to show the importance of water supplies for the kids in brasil.


Next we can find that through another camera cut, we transport to another scene in which we can find the speech of the Chief Executive, at Oxfam, this is at and eye level angle, by a medium shot, to show the importance that she, and her speech has as an individual. In which she she critic the poor improvement that, it has been in terms of water supplies, food supplies, health, among others.


Now thorugh a dissiolve editing techqnique, used to relate the last scene with the new one, in this case is the comment of the main periodist, of this piece of news. In wich he stands that there was another meeting, but because it was too big, it didnt get any results. Then this scene is cutted and we find the presence of another establishing shot to show us he street of rio, in which the camera, follows up the movement of a car, but finally end filming the place in general, this is made by a Pan camera movement.


However in the prime time piece of news,
