Getting the Message Across

Synopsis: Discusses the making of video programmes, encouraging the maker to think about how to communicate forcefully by weaving together powerful elements to tell a story well. The message is illustrated with off-the-air examples as well as taped footage. In order to demonstrate that a good video can be produced without elaborate equipment, the producers deliberately chose to make this programme with simple technques using non-professional camcorders.
