Uses camera shots that include pans, zooms, fades, freeze frames, slow motion, animated jump shots and other shenanigans. And they label every frickin story as "DEVELOPING STORY" or "BREAKING NEWS." They also repeat the same footage multiple times within a story (it's as redundant as the structure of that sentence). That's misleading.
There's something nice and sincere about your local TV news. It may seem amateur in comparison to big, bold CNN and their "developing stories," but it shows life as it really is - with still camera shots and no fades or spinning screen transitions or footage repeated multiple times so it seems more impactful. As much as I laugh at local news, it's somewhat comforting.
