To help me to get inspiration for how the project should be branded as well as the style of music that is presented here.
The BBC News colour palette mostly consists of reds and whites, giving the overall production a professional and industrial look that reflects on the kind of serious content that is being conveyed to audiences.
The music, however, is what I am most focused on. The opening jingle for the program is iconic. It features a loud 'thud' before an electronic bass-line starts. The 'thud' sound then repeats itself as the news presenters announce each upcoming news story. After the presenters have finished talking, the main part of the jingle/ opening theme begins with a beep representing the countdown of a clock until the start of the first news story. The steady build up of strings is also audible in the background, coming to their peak at the end of the piece. There are also a few electronic noises presented quietly.
I shall take some great inspiration from this opening theme in particular to emulate for our own soundtrack which I shall be creating. Most prominently the style of bass-line as well as using the beeping sound throughout to give the pice a professional feel.
