What Is It About

On September 5th, 2016, the new and third film of Bridget Jones called Bridget Jones Baby, premiered at Leicester Square. A live, outside broadcast from reporter Brenda Emmanus from the BBC News London reports and interviews the main cast of the film, to ask them what members of the public and fans can expect from this highly anticipated film and beloved long timer character. The main cast includes Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey, and of course Renee Zellweger as the character Bridget Jones herself. Who are the famous individuals on this live outside broadcast video and getting interviewed from the BBC News. 

Who Is It About

Brenda Emmanus from BBC News London has attended the film premiere of Bridget Jones Baby at Leicester Square in London. She experiences this celebration event, to film and to interview the very familiar and famous cast from this romantic, comedy film and for it is it's the third installment. 

Which Demographic Group Is It Aimed At

According to IMDB's website (Needhan, C.), the certificate of the film is a fifteen, and the genre of the film is classed as a comedy, drama, and romance. The synopsis, of the film, focuses on the main character Bridget Jones (played by Renee Zellweger), whose personal and career life gets interrupted when she discovers she is pregnant and must find who the father is. Which as you've just heard, that can be aimed at adults, whoever it is either for young or middle-aged adults that the film's concept, tone, and genre is aimed at that age demographic. Which brings to my point, to correspondent Brenda Emmanus reporting on the film premiere, it's live outside broadcast story that viewers and individuals who may be into that type of genre in film and specific age demographic would find interest and excitement of the reporter's story and interviews with the main cast.

How Is It Relevant To My Live News Item

The main topic of this live news piece is it's focusing on film, cinema and showing how important and exciting it used to be when mainstream releases were going to be released on the big screen. I do feel, that now I am not interviewing my contributor in person and on location, this live outside broadcast video has shown the same example of how I originally thought and visioned of filming my interview, and this OB report doesn't have any cuts and coverage, which I wanted to try and achieve as well for my OB piece on location if the current situation wasn't happening. This live broadcast doesn't have the majority of the targets I will be wanting to achieve now, although, at least this live news item shows as an example to the theme of the film and of course cinema.

Prof Robert Kelly Is Back & This Time His Wife & Children Are Meant To Be In Shot! BBC News

What Is It About

From a previous online interview that went in an unexpected direction, a professor and his family that are based in South Korea return to the BBC World News. By questioning and discussing to anchor presenter James Menendez, what had happened, how it occurred to have become a distraction for Professor Robert Kelly's interview, and how his himself and his family had become a trending online interview and also becoming a sweet and hilarious event to remember back in 2017. 

Who Is It About

Professor Robert Kelly, his wife Jung - Kim, and their two children Marion and James, return to BBC News World and are interviewed by the same anchor presenter James Menendez. Menendez interviews Kelly and his family, about what happened and how unexpectedly, the family became this internet sensation.

Which Demeopgrahic Group Is It Aimed At

According to Google search (Pichai, S.), Professor Robert Kelly is an American political analyst on Koren affairs, which I believe was his main live interview about, that got distracted from his children. From explaining his occupation, his main interview topic was politics about North and South Korea, which makes the topic, of course, political can be aimed at adults, given the subject can be complicated to younger viewers on politics. However, this video on the return from the family, it's aimed at family and all ages, because of the different and casual conversations they are having with Menendez and it's aimed for more of an informal approach. 

How Is It Relevant To My Live News Item

Considering this live news item is not related to the theme and topic of my own live news item. For this being out about the unexpected and hilarious events that Professor Robert Kelly experienced with his children interrupting an online interview and with this video being about them returning to the BBC News and discussing the events that had occurred. However, what I can take from research and inspiration is by bringing together both the Bridget Jones Baby premiere about a film on the big screen and making it all live with no cuts. Plus, for this live news item, making it just presented online instead. Which given the current circumstances, both of these live news items, has guided and given me this triangular route for this part of the research. 

Drew a triangular route to gather the two pieces of research together
