I do, it was stupid having Hitch sitting behind the desk, then 20-30 seconds later standing by the screen. Showed so obviously the opener was pre-recorded. Not to mention the awkward 5 seconds when the presenter is just standing staring at you on screen and not saying anything.
One thing I really like about the GTV bulletin is the theme sting and set wide shots when coming back from the break. Iāve always though the way that others do it (title card swoosh and no music, straight to reader) seems a bit boring.
Livinias weather titlecards have also had a makeover.
The set looks sooo much better.
The white lighting is slightly different though from the original version. The very top lighting strip is now white instead of blue.
Livinia appears to have moved to the opposite side, in line with Sydney also.
Itās always been like this for the preview.
Weāll have to wait till 6.55 to see if itās been moved completely
Wide shots look a lot more tight. New set?
Thatās what I thought too. Very tight shots.
TJās OTS on the opposite side, more in line with Sydney too (I think)?
Hasnāt changed.
The shot of Pete and Tony is a little tighter though.
Livinia still presenting the main weather report from the right screen.
Hopefully they look into using a new wider shot of Melbourne and using some different angles/presentation spots during the bulletin.
Looked x10 better tonight though with the white colours.
The sport OTS is definitely different, is it not?
Oh sorry the OTS. Yes looks slightly different, but not much.
Itās the opposite side.
Lavinias weather looks very much like the angled graphics on 7ā¦
Thank god the white is back though. It looks so much better
Probably a bit burnt out mostly.
How does the opening title card compare to TCN and the rest of the network now?
Itās the same as Sydney, except we now have āMelbourneā as text.
I always thought it was weird there was never any localism on itā¦
Needs more. A nice city backdrop etc
Agreeā¦ Iām working on itā¦
