HSBC Advert


Imitating the HSBC Advert on 'Different Values' I made one showing 'Perfidy' which means untrustworthy or betrayal. All pictures show a sign of betrayal or doubt. I chose it because it does make people think what is around them- most things are a sign of perfidy in this day and age. In the future, I plan to use less fancy writing and put it in lower case as this is how it is show in the HSBC Adverts. Also, if I was able to do a different word, I would use a word which everyone would understand without going on Google and searching it. I need to make it simple and elegant by using a small word which means a lot. Thinking about it now, I think maybe I would simply use the word 'maybe' or use two words which connect.

News Bulletin-Evaluation

News Bulletin- Evaluation



The 5 stories we chose were:
A Japanese Language Learner
Argentina and Switzerland match
The Madeline Mcann search has reopened
Rita Ora
Suarez bit my finger

We chose the Japanese Language learner from the VLE because when we were looking for the story, Taranpreet kept popping up. We chose the Argentina and Switzerland match because it was very recent and people were talking about it. We chose the Mcann story because it has been reopened and makes people think about reality – little children need to be cautious as nobody is safe. We chose the Rita Ora breaks up with Calvin Harris because of Justin Bieber story because it makes sense to do a story which is famous to young people; using popstars they know who are from Britain. ‘Suarez Bit My Finger’ was the funny story, recapping over and incident which occurred during a World Cup match.

We broadcasted the story easily. We did it simply; first starting with the Greenford Story as it opened the bulletin with something which relates to everyone. The then did the Rita Ora story to let the people know that this for young people – it grips in the people who are interested in celeb gossip. After, we did the Mcann story to give them something serious and educational. The sport story came next because it is a good way to educate people in a fun manner – it gives them an insight of what is happening in the world currently. Lastly, we finished with the funny story to wrap up on a high relaxed note.

To make the script the ideal length; to fit 60 seconds, we wrote about all the topics equally and then we slashed down and cut away the bits that we didn’t need. It was easy to organise the script.

To make each story clear and understandable, we only did the main line which was brief and then we gave 1-2 extra points to back it up to make it clear.  Our group made the broadcast professional by saying it loud, clear and enthusiastic; like it was prepared in a week – not a day.

In the group, I had the role of the journalist. I prepared the script and fished some stories and put it together. I think our group worked well; achieving the roles. I would say 4/5 (5 being the highest). To work more effectively, we should’ve prepared and checked it the script over.


If this opportunity was supplied again, I would’ve taken out the Mcan story and replaced it with the Malaysian Airline Flight Disappearance because it is a new story which has been readdressed recently. Also, it is a worldwide investigation which mostly everyone knows. If I was just to improve it, then I would influence the presenter to be more enthusiastic and have a better understanding of everything - also I would've made him speak louder yet formal as it lacked slightly but it wasn't that bad; it just could use various improvements.
