What does everyone think?
Well they both use John Williams’ The Mission which was written specifically for NBC and the NBC chimes could have been some inspiration for the music
Would have been slick if Bec had been hidden behind Mike then walked into the second shot.

Kinda cool tbh

I thought it was some kind of mistake. Bec looked akward just standing there staring in a different direction.

Judging by that cap, it looks really awkward.

It looked good on air.

I just looked at it on 7plus. Looked incredibly awkward. Bec is just standing there in the backdrop.
They could’ve executed this much better - have her step off the podium and a little closer to the main camera which Mike is looking at - and while the full screen graphic was on display (for a good 10 seconds), she could’ve stepped into that position on the podium.
The wide angle lens they used as well is not good.

Can agree to disagree. I thought it looked fine.

The lightning grid needs to be raised up. The down pos of the camera is just strange.
BCM have always had a thing about a very low grid. Not sure why.

‘Incredibly awkward’ is a little dramatic. You only see her for a few seconds. Barely enough time to register any awkwardness at all.

It looks like how the standing presentation is performed on Channel Nine in Sydney. They even do it when the weather presenter presents the weather with the presenter walking up to the next location. The graphics are on angles and look weird and are harder than necessary to read. Just have a fly by that takes over the full screen with the presenter reading out the temperatures for a few locations as the flyby progresses. It would look better.
Copying stupid pointless gymicks from Nine isn’t going to improve their ratings.
But Seven is winning in Melbourne?

Couldn’t you look at it that 7 Melb is trying different things to improve? Doesn’t meant it’s always going to be right. But why not try different things with two presenters?
