For a scenario planning session, three brief newsreel-style videos are required to simulate news coverage of a hypothetical event. Each clip will feature a presenter delivering a 30-second report from a simulated news desk environment against the backdrop of a fake television studio. Rolling text will scroll along the bottom of the screen for the duration.
Specifically, the videos aim to realistically recreate the format and style of breaking news bulletins as they may appear on major British networks like the BBC or ITV in the event of an incident taking place. Through emulating the customary newsreader-led delivery of timely updates and key details, the clips seek to further engross participants in imaginative simulations of potential scenarios under consideration.
Technical proficiency is important, as the videos must be of sufficient production quality to be convincingly projected via MacBook to attendees on the planned date of February 28th, 2025. Apart from the staged news desk aesthetic and brief written scripts, all visual elements and audio recording will be handled externally. Interested producers ideally will have experience in shooting and editing compact videos mimicking live television news coverage. Collaborators are encouraged to submit proposals demonstrating skills in swiftly bringing similar concepts to life through virtual media.
