Is there a title sequence and what happens in it?
To start off with there is a disclaimer about distressing images. This is presented on a red background which is the iconic Red that BBC uses for their logos and backgrounds. When the voiceover starts that's talking about the suspect the text comes off the screen by using a wipe transition. Then there is a photo montage of the killer while the voiceover is happening.
Whos presenting and did they link to anyone?
There is two people within this video who has a spoken role. The main person is DCI Noel Mchugh who is explaining how the murder happened and also how they caught the killer. It's a good thing that DCI Noel Mchugh is going though the murder as he was the detective on the case people then know that all facts within this broadcast are true. The other person presenting is the the person who is the voiceover however the video doesn't say who the voiceover is.
What does the studio look like?
Although this is a youtube video its clear to see that the producers have thought about The location and backdrop. The location appears to be a block of offices but as the speaker is a DCI I am assuming that the video was filmed at the police department. At the beginning and halfway though they show DCI Noel Mchugh . He is sitting in front of a big window that has blinds and also if you look closer you can see buildings behind him but they are equal distance apart and Mchugh is sitting dead centre on a metal chair. I think they have done this so the chair doesn't distract the viewers from Mchugh.
How many stories and how did it end?
This was youtube dedicated to only one story. This Murder was a very popular murder and the offender became the most wanted killer at the time. So it makes sense that there is only one story.
The video ended with Mchugh paying his respects to the victim. While he was taking there was a Photo Montage of the victim and his family. This is done to pay respects to the victim but also so the video ends on a slightly more positive note.

Is there a title sequence and what happens in it?
The Introduction to this video was the usual BBC Breakfast one. To start off with they have a countdown of what I assume is the seconds before the news starts or could be telling the time as this broadcast was at 7. Then after this the logo of BBC Breakfast appears on the screen. While this is happening the background stays the same which is the overlooking of the BBC studios and the River beside it.In terms of music they have used the iconic BBC News beat which is used in all the broadcasts and has become BBC`S brand identity. The whole intro is a total of 6 seconds and ends with a wipe transition into the Studio.
Whos presenting and did they link to anyone?
The two main reporters are Dan walker and Louise Minchin. Walker and Minchin are are always in the studio but throughout this broadcast links to at least 3 other people who help develop the story an back up points. They also have different roles which gives them a bit more insight into the stories.
In the first story they linked to Helen Catt who is BBC'S Political correspondent. Then in the 3rd story they link to Gavin lee who is a Europe presenter staying in brussels Then they link to Maria Van Kerkhove who is a part of the World health Organisation. Linking to these people is really important and most of the time vital as if they didnt people may perceive the news to be fake.

Questions:
There’s
loads going on at the moment, by there are 2 special celebrations taking place
in the UK today. What are two reasons why the 23rd April 2020 is being talked
about on social media and being highlighted on the news?
1. St Georges Day:
It is the day where a Roman solider slew a dragon. This was
during a mission to Libyan king's daughter. However, he sadly died in 303 AD
after being tortured for not renouncing his faith.
In the 14th century, King Edward lll saw st George
as England's patron saint even though he never visited England.
St Patrick's Day, St David's Day and St Andrew's Day are all
celebrated with massive celebrations each year. However st georges over the years
has become less celebrated leading to people wondering when it is. This year it
wasn’t really covered I the news as much as it normally would due to the
Covid-19 pandemic taking over. In the article above they start to explain what St
Georges day is. But then I discovered that you needed to pay to access the rest of the article.
Which unfortunately is becoming more popular thing.
St Georges day is often celebrated by people flying the English Flag and being truly British and visiting the local pub. However, this year due to the worldwide lock down we couldn't visit the pub. But this didnt stop a local pub owner in chester from flying his flag and raising a toast.
2. World Book and Copyright Day:
This is a day where people celebrate books and the enjoyment of reading. This is also the day when sadly William Shakespeare and other well known authors died.
The first UNESCO’s General Conference was held in Paris on the 23rd April 1995, to pay a worldwide tribute to books and authors on this date but also as an attempt to encourage everyone to access books.

This is a day that is also often celebrated by schools and colleges. Its quite often the day where parents dread the idea of finding costumes of their children's favorite book character. In England we normally celebrate on 5th march however its celebrated internationally on the 23rd of April.
Normally, News articles celebrate parents creativity and how off how people are celebrating within schools and community. But due to the Covid-19 schools are not open and we are all stuck in quarantine. However that didn't dampen spirits and it didn't stop people celebrating.
