Hotshots Student Videos

The Hotshots programme has been developed by CWA New Media to assist young people to communicate and present information through the medium of video.

It introduces young people to the art of effective storytelling; processes such as scripting, preparing question lines, on-screen interviewing, and reporting techniques; the professional use of video, sound, and lighting equipment; offline and online editing; sound mixing and mastering; release rights and appearance licensing; and the role of the editor.

The Hub encourages the production of student-generated videos and is eager to support the publication of such collections.
