the News in a few weeks time. You will need to do some research on this topic
and then prepare a short video to be included in the News report.

you must research the topic. You will need to complete the Knowledge

have completed this task you will be asked to put together a short segment
on video that could be included in a News production.

Together as a team
you will be responsible for preparing your team's production. It is important
that each person contributes to the whole production. The Script Writers will

the Advertising Managers will need to find out the "flavour" of the
production in order to make people interested in it.
