Movie Trailer Style "News" Format

Hey "news" networks. You want to sell emotion? Want to get the people worked up, dopamine flowing and adrenaline pumping? Then use the right format. Idiots behind a desk are so 2018.

Major disaster story: "An earthquake..." (quick cut shots of distruction and mayhem) "A politician who cares about nothing but power..." (News network's nemesis politician, Trump for CNN, Clinton for Fox, shown in an overlay laughing, possibly counting money or drinking champagne...) "The innocent suffer... (shots of innocents suffering) "But one politician says enough is enough!!" (big fanfair music with proud, head held high quarter face shots of either Hillary or Trump kneeling to wipe the tears of the little crying child...

OK, you get the idea.

So that's the politician angle, you can also target groups, individuals, it could be the badguy of the week in keeping with our new French revolution love affair with seeing people brought down.

And from a business standpoint, have you seen the amount of money those talking heads get? These could be done basically for free by interns. I'm sort of making fun of this but I'm not sure after seeing a few of these I would watch anything else.

Now don't get me wrong, all the facts can be there, they're just "spiced up a bit". Lots of information can be crammed into a 30 second compilation of stuff. Details can be scrolled across the screen, quick flashes of exact time and location. In fact, much more info could be put into 30 seconds than you could get from somebody reading during that same amount of time.

This will need lots of examples. Give me a sec.
