25/11/ - Sky News Tonight - Osborne's U-Turn on Tax Credits/Police cuts

The entire report is based around a large screen which the reporter stands in front of, and on which graphics are displayed to help the audience understand the facts of the report itself.

I personally found this report quite interesting as it relied completely on the reporter and their ability to be engaging in front of a camera, whilst also being able to communicate with the audience in an effective way.


Although this short report did have some visual back up, I would've found it far more visually engaging if the graphics had perhaps been underlays rather than on a screen behind the reporter. Due to the camera having to frame up around the reporter and the screen it meant that the entire graphic was not always in shot, and thus made it harder to understand.
