Transparent objects and eyes in TV news connotates that all the information being given won't be biased in any way and nothing will be fake. Transparency meaning that there won't be anything hidden and everything will be exposed and true.
Commonly shown is the world from space, this connotates the news covering the globe and having stories about everywhere globally,
Landmarks are also shown in TV news and these connote importance of the world and the landmarks shown are usually from first world/western countries these landmarks are mostly political
Clocks and time and usually shown on Tv news as connotations of the time that the news always begins at and that it is always consistant.
A vast amount of technology and satellites are shown in these sequences this connotates that the news is using only the best and greatest technology to get the news straight to you and they have all the available ways of getting the information.
Beat-Driven, fast paced music, often involving brass instruments are used and this gets viewers attention and connotates urgency by announcing the news will begin with this music.
Mostly Male voiceovers are used for Tv news because males connotate strong authority and power and makes the news more important
The 2 above examples can be seen on this clip:
Metallic blues and strong reds are used on many TV news shows these connotate the british flag and these also connotate the public world of office such as Red being labour and such
News presenters on these shows appear formal and neutral becuase they are meant to be impartial, serious and subdued because they can't give an emotion or opinion on the matters. men and woman of different ages are selected. they don't smile too much because their expressions must be neutral, they always appear sitting/standing this connotates authority because it's as if you've walked into their office and they were busy at work unlike any other presenter on any other show who would walk in and introduce themselves but the news doesn't have time for that so they make it go immidiately into the news. They always directly adress the camera which makes it feel as if they are directly talking to us this connotates a unmediated communication.
