I thought 1 News did an excellent job last night. I think they should look at anchoring from on-location more often. I know they did this during the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes too.
Works best with double headed presenting when you can have one on location and one in studio. But yes I think it’s really important to get out in the field sometimes.
New look 1 News
Slightly tweaked opening shot
Opener subjects now have a headline.
Oh my god, why do they change things that don’t need changed, let alone making them worse. Looks like 9 News brought 1 News
Love the AR graphics on the set.
Should do a full revamp before the Election, not tweaks.
I’m not too sure about the AR graphics on the roof
AR a little too busy for my liking.
And my pet peeve is headlines on news openers that add no value.
Headlines are far too big and while I quite like the AR it does seem overused in this opening. All in all, not a very good change.
Yuck the headline straps remind me of 9. It’s a horrible shade of blue. Even having the text in lower case would look a lot better
Nope, not too keen on that. Love the camera shot at the start, but definitely do not love the headline straps. I take it Tonight remains unchanged? And speaking of the AR, I haven’t seen any of the mad AR explainers for a while. Are they still a thing?
Yes they still have AR explainers.
They did one lastnight with the poll results
Yeah no change, same intro like I posted last Friday
Lisa Davies presented Midday this afternoon.
Lisa Davies used to do quite a bit of 6pm anchoring, but not for some time. Again, another under-utilised potential presenter.
