Analyzing News Video

The news video I used is found at http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/News/1221258968/ID=1675011274


1. The news report is on a site called wikileaks releasing information that China is growing more and more frustrated with North Korea and would welcome a single Korea run by the South.

2. The establishing shot in this video is of a Korean military parade showing off soldiers, weapons, and bombs.

3. The video starts with the caption "Wikileaks: China Frustrated" and Carol MacNeil saying that China doesn't have as much power over Korea as we thought. This was her attention grabber to draw the viewer in.

4. A big source for this article is wikileaks, a website that leaks government information. Another is Andrew Nichols, a person they interview on how China feels about Korea.

5. Two questions they would have asked probably would have been are "Why is China upset with Korea?" and "How could this affect us?".

6. One type of B-roll in this video would be the scene with the military rally in the beginning and another would be when they show the soldiers burning the North Korean flag.

7. I think they could have used footage of maybe Chinease soldiers or even of the UN discussing the subject.

8. There is only one voice over and it's of Andrew Nichols saying basically that China does not have that much influence over Korea, that after Kim Jong Il dies, the country will very likely fall apart, and that Korea is still unpredictable.

9. The ending is when Andrew says that this information is China's opinion released through the wikileaks documents but it is not China's policy to release such information.

10. The reporter is Andrew Nichols and he doesn't have a tag; Carol just thanks him and it ends.
