This question doesn´t sound good to me!

Hi there I found this question in a reading exercise. However for me it is as if there is something missing. What do you think?
Thanks
"What will the videos the writer is planning do?
Thanks. |

Does not make any sense maybe, depending on context, "What do the videos show (explain or depict) the writer is planning to do?" |

The writer is planning some videos. What will these videos do?
Although what a video can do, I can ´t tell  |

I understand the question as:
What will the videos, which the writer is planning, do? = What will be the effect of the videos the writer is planning (to make / use / show) ?

I think mohamedthabet got it right. This is definitely an awkward sentence, and might better be written as "What will the videos do that the writer is planning?", or mohamed ´s suggestion, or "What will the videos that the writer is planning, do?" An important part of writing is being sure that your meaning is clear, and this one didn ´t accomplish that. Bruce |
