Not real

Samira Ahmed on Newswatch tells us that BBC News is re-shooting some of its newsroom backdrops, 'to reflect current socially-distanced working'. It's a reminder that what you see in the background is not always 'real', but often a digital construct. 

On most BBC network bulletins, the background was at least once 'real'. Around the BBC regions, and on BBC Breakfast, we still have backgrounds, including apparently moving people, that are entirely the creation of graphic artists. Ah, the bond of trust with the viewer.....
