The Brief

In today's lesson, we outlined what the course consisted of. 

Your brief is to produce the opening 5 minutes, including titles, of a 30 minute TV documentary programme. 

You will also produce a radio trailer and a newspaper advertisement to promote your programme. 

You will plan the whole 30 minute documentary, but will only produce the first 5 minutes.

As a part of your production you will need to conduct interviews. These interviews must be original and authentic. No interviews can be scripted and you cannot use somebody pretending to be someone else.
