WHO: shown by the CLOSE UP immediately after GNW into, is the main character Paul McDermott followed by the into of co-stars Claire Hooper and Mikey Robins. They also feature four guest personalities each week.
WHAT: shown by the MID SHOT shows Paul in at a central booth and his ensemble behind opposing booths either side of him, ready to compete in a news contextual battle of wits and comedic expertise.
WHERE: shown by the LONG SHOT shows a studio audience facing the set of GNW including its cast (and even some crew). This, with the WHAT informs us of the type of forum GNW is and its setting.
WHEN: In this instance the When is made clear by speech. That is, it is made clear that this is one hour news based (albeit damn funny) program covering the latest topics of local and international news - taped in real time.
WHY: It is at this point I realize that my choice of TV show is not quite appropriate to answer all these questions in a "Cine-speak" manner......but I have gone too far now and other studies are pending.....so will push on (hopefully with your patience)! The BIG CLOSE UP would adequately reveal an unanswered aspect of a storyline, and actually in the case of GNW a BCU is used when confirming a news quiz has been solved by showing the actual news footage or photo in this manner.
HOW: A MEDIUM CLOSE UP or a series of MCU's can answer a question of how by explaining the event or storyline by bringing together two different things (for example a person and what they are doing or what they did)..... again my choice is TV show isn't quite appropriate, but the MCU in the case of GNW could show how a visual gag was brought together by revealing all the elements when needed.
So there is my Who, What, Where, When, Why, How task explained using information given by Josh Nicholas in his lecture and on-line notes, Jules during tutorial time and my on-line (limited) research.
