As a news program, the topic of the program must be recent factual reports. In this case, the news investigation selected the recent incident of "cat abuse" which had a great influence on the Internet to report, from which we learned that the basic attribute of TV news topic programs is news.
From the perspective of conception, as a news topic or in-depth news report, its timeliness is limited. When a news event is widely known, only through novel ideas can it arouse the interest of the broad audience. In the reports of the media such as the Internet, the spearhead points to the cat abuser, which has never appeared in the media. From the beginning of the program, the news survey led to the theme: "A cat is dead, but what is the motive of human behavior, hatred?" Is it an interest? Is it desire? All the speculation is far from stopping. At the beginning of April, we went to the place where the cat abuse incident happened and met three people involved. We tried to get close to the truth of the cat abuse incident through interviews. "The conception of the whole program reveals a novel angle, starting with introducing the occurrence and development of cat abuse, finally focusing on why people abuse cats, and finally beginning to reflect on human mind and humanity.
Second, set suspense.
Suspense is a common technique in the creation of TV programs and film and television dramas, because suspense is an urgent requirement for the continuous extension of interest and the desire for what will happen next. In this film, the program director deliberately set up several suspense.
The first suspense: the cat abuse incident on the Internet aroused the indignation of netizens, so who made the pictures and videos? Through this suspense setting, Guo of Hangzhou Yinhu Science and Technology Company, Wang of pharmacist in Luobei Hospital of Heilongjiang Province, and Li who found Luobei County Radio and Television Bureau became the parties to the three incidents respectively.
The second suspense: the party concerned published a critical letter on the Internet and then disappeared into the network. Why are they involved in this matter? What kind of people are they? Later, it led to interviews with Wang's colleagues and leaders, and got interviews about Wang's behavior in real life from them.
The third suspense: hatred is Wang's motivation to participate in the filming. What is Li's motivation in the Radio and Television Bureau? This step leads to an interview with Li. We know that Li's motivation comes from interest, and we also know more about Li's enthusiasm in daily life.
The fourth suspense: Is Gaines Guo behind this? From the investigation of Gainmas Guo, it is found that Gainmas Guo is not the behind-the-scenes operator of cat abuse, but it also creates a foot-loving group.
There are two purposes for setting suspense. First, it can arouse the interest of the audience, and at the same time, it can lead to the next clue of the program through the setting of suspense.
Third, the program structure
News investigation-the program structure of a cat's abnormal death is narrative structure, which can be divided into causal linear structure and belongs to the result-→ cause type in causal linear structure.
This structure first introduces the cause and development of the event to the audience, and then investigates and analyzes the cause of the event layer by layer.
In the program "Abnormal Death of Cats", the host made a brief introduction in the studio: Two months ago, a woman wearing high heels stepped on a cat, and as soon as the video and pictures appeared, it aroused strong indignation and condemnation from tens of thousands of netizens. Netizens spontaneously organized themselves and launched a search through a search engine. They found three people at that time, but two months later, the parties did not appear in the media. With questions about motivation, the reporter started the investigation. Finally, through continuous in-depth search and investigation, the reporter first found the colleagues and leaders of the parties, learned about the daily behavior of the parties from the side, and then faced the parties directly and asked about their motives. Three conclusions are drawn: the catharsis of hatred, the drive of interests, and some hidden desire in the heart. Finally, the program ended and sublimated by asking people how to resolve hatred, how to weigh interests and how to satisfy desires.
Fourth, interview characteristics:
As a news topic program and an in-depth investigation report, program interviews are characterized by deep levels. The reporter approached the fact of the protagonist's motivation bit by bit.
There is another detail in the program. The most frequently used word in reporter Chai Jing's questions is: Why? What? In other words, exposing the inner nature of things and spreading what the public doesn't know is the biggest feature of this program.
