My Initial Reaction

-
When I was first briefed about the task I was overwhelmed with what we had to do, but after beginning my project I am excited to have a chance to be creative and produce something of my own.

Initially my attention was focused on the fact that we have been given the choice of two commercial broadcasters; ITV and Channel 5, of which we can base our programme on both the schedules and remits.
