This year Ruth, Marie and I have chosen to work together in a group to produce:
'An extract from an original documentary TV programme, lasting approximately five minutes, together with:

• a double-page spread from a listings magazine focused on the documentary.
• a newspaper advertisement advertisement for the documentary.'

We have decided to work as a group, as by putting our different skills together we feel we will be able to produce something a lot more professional than if we were to work alone.

The documentary we have chosen to make will be called 'The History of Mann', and will include several different Manx historical topics. 

As a group, we discussed and decided that we would each have certain tasks to complete.

My task is to list and take notes on documentaries that we can use as inspiration for our documentary clip, and that will give us an idea of the sorts of things we need to consider eg. camera angles, narration etc. I will also plan the filming.

Marie's task is to create the double page spread and to carry out research and analysis of other double page spreads.

Ruth's task is to create the newspaper advertisement and to carry out research and analysis of other advertisements.
