Digital News Production: PTC Examples and "Inside Out" Research

Today we looked at some examples of PTC. (peace to camera)
We were also given a list of recommended shot sizes to use. 
A TV journalist named Rachel came into the Maidstone Studios to talk about her experience working on the educational News program, "Inside Out". She gave advice on how she works with her interviewee's and how to accommodate them. She also talked about about a specific show she was involved in on the subject of "Social Services" that got picked up by other channels for wider broadcast.

Here are the notes I wrote down this morning:


I also wrote down some of the useful advice that was given towards the end of the lecture with Rachel.

  1. Be interested in whats going on around you and on TV, Radio, Publications etc.
  2. Be friendly but also careful with what you say around the interviewee.
  3. Be careful of how you are dressed depending on location and choice of subject matter.
  4. Be aware that you are representing your channel regarding how you present yourself.
  5. Be sure you know what is the next thing to air after your news segment.

  1. You've made a good start on your blog, with evidence of your understanding and research. Make sure you also include evidence of all the prep and planning you are doing and clearly demonstrate your reasoning, as well as critical reflections on lessons learnt.
