5. The BBC News at Six fits into the remit by having some interesting stories as well as stories that may affect their audience.
Presenters
1. The presenters are George Alagiah and Sophie Raworth
2. The presenters would often be wearing smart clothing such as a suit but may not wear a tie for a casual appearance which could suggest that the BBC News at 6 is targeted at a younger audience most preferably young teenagers.
3. A TV news programme may use a variety of presenters to show diversity in the news studio as well as maybe change it up so viewers don't have to see the same people presenting time and time again.
4. Other presenters are used to cover different stories such as the different topics and interviews that are in location to cover a lot of stories.
5. There isn't much equality on gender as males still mainly have most of the positions. There also doesn't seem to be a diversity in the ethnicity of the presenters as they are mainly white.
Opening sequence
1. The very first shot is of the presenter who is about to introduce the top heading of today.
2. The opening sequence uses graphics to make the news look more visually appealing as well as show some basic information such as images related to the story.
3. Music is used at the background as a dramatic touch to the stories making the news seem very important.
4. The opening has the presenter talking about the story over footage that links to it as the stories which will show what will happen later on the show. There are also graphics that make it look better for each story and the small segment on sports before getting to the introduction of the logo.
Studio mise-en-scene
What aspects of the studio can be seen by the audience? Some cameras are shown as the reporter is being filmed.
