As soon as we have finished filming the footage that contains water, we need to wipe up the water immediately because someone can slip
It is very important to have a meeting with your client. After you have read the brief and understood what the client wants you would have to have a meeting with him/her to ask any questions that you have to ask in areas that you don't understand in the brief. Also having a meeting with the client doesn't just help you to understand what the client wants but it also educates the client on what they need to know because what they ask for they may not get. For an example the client wants you to make a ident using stop motion but they would probably want it to be a minute long, that is you opportunity to educate the client as media students that and an ident shouldn't be a minute long. It should be most 30 seconds and also to let the client know that stop motion takes a long time to produce because you would have to take a numerous amount of pictures in order to fill up 30 seconds. You can also ask the client about the budget because you would have to know if you would need more money because you would have to travel to the locations that you would have to shoot whether you drive the money would be for petrol r whether you take public transport you would have to pay for train or bus if your over 18. The whole point of the meeting with the client is to understand fully what they would like and to see if you can try persuade the client into wanting something different and better if you feel like your idea will be more successful than what they originally pictured.
Degree of discretion in interpreting brief in terms of the degree of discretion we worked very well with the client in the sense that we where working together and he didn't really restrict us from any of the idents that we put across to him even though we were changing some parts of the brief such as the timing for the idents. the client seemed to like our ideas but he didn't really like the way we were going to use our time to do the production so he suggested that we do it a different way which would be more effective for us as a group plus it gives us more time for contingence just incase we go over time on 1 ident we have time to fix it before the deadline. Constraints (Legal, Ethical and regulatory)
As a group, we were commissioned to write a reflective article with detailed explanations of how and why the following below need to be taken into account.
Copyright:
The Copyright Act is a UK copyright law from 1998, which gives the originators of musical, artistic and dramatic material the right to control the way in which others use their material.
Copyright is an essential thing, which would need to be taken into account. It is the legal right to use certain material, and the reason why our group would need to consider this is because, if we were to use certain material without the given permission from the originator, the originator could then take legal actions against our group. Copyright could include material such as music, the logo for, the college, etc. In order to avoid this, we will have to make sure that we have permissions to use any sort of audio material from the originator, and with regards to the logo, we will have to make sure that the college is aware that the logo will be displayed on-screen.
Use of under 18s in the video:
The Children Act 1989 is an act from 1989, ensuring that the children are safely guarded and that their welfare is promoted by parents, organizations, etc.
Use of under 18s in the group we would need to consider as a group. This would require our group to carefully organize when we are going to shoot; paying close attention to things such as time and location. This would need to be considered because since the people that will be participating in the video will be under the age of 18, there will be a limited amount of time in which they will be legally allowed to work. In order to work around this limitation, we will need to make sure that we have a rough idea at least, if not a set idea, of which days which ident is going to be recorded, how long it is going to take to record each ident, and have a contingency plan, in case we would have to come back to a previous ident to re-shoot and improve that ident.
Discrimination of Ethnicity:
The Equality Act 201o is an act that stops the act of people being treated unfairly as a result of their age, gender, ethnicity, religion, etc.
Discrimination of Ethnicity is a thing we would have to consider as a group. This sort of thing has to do with disregarding or nationalities. We would need to consider this because if we were to include certain nationalities, and discriminate others, people within the nationality discriminated could take racist offence. To avoid this, we would have to incorporate ideas that gives the impression to the audience that everybody is welcome, and no ethnicity is disregarded.
Gender:
Gender is another thing our group we will have to consider, being careful that we are not promoting just the masculine aspects/events that take place at the college, likewise with the feminine aspects/events that take place at the college as well. The reason why we would have to consider this is because we wouldn’t want the audience we’re targeting to get the impression that we provide enrichment activities for one gender over the other. It is likely and completely normal that a certain activity could attract a certain gender in comparison to the other, such as dance, which could mainly attract the females, but in order to make it look as if we consider everyone, as well as promoting the feminine aspects, it is essential that we promote the masculine sort of activities as well, such as football, basketball, etc.
Religious Belief:
The Equality Act 201o is an act that stops the act of people being treated unfairly as a result of their age, gender, ethnicity, religion, etc.
Lastly, religious belief is another thing we would have to consider as a group. Again, this is as important as the discrimination of ethnicity. Although the college is called ‘Christ The King’, we will still have to be careful that we are not giving an impression to the audience that we pay attention only to the Christian/Catholic race, but that we also welcome people from other religions, such as Muslim.
Amendments to proposed final product Amendments we could have made to the final product after talking with our client include things such as spending more time developing our initial ideas to tie in more with each other. For example adding extra connotations and iconography relating to the college, this will therefor give our audience a better understanding of the product as well as giving it more of a professional flair. Also, we could have taken more into consideration what the client originally wanted as his idea for the ident. Although we used the main characteristics e.g. colour, we could have added more to reflect his vision as well as ours. Secondly, we could have given our overall theme of idents a stronger bond, for example each ident tying in and acting as branches to the overall theme, this is an essential point as this is what makes each individual ident, identifiable to the key main theme.
Amendments to budget
The Budget is key to the production this will cover props lighting equipment, Transport, locations and other. the food is one of the most consistent budget payments as this will cover lunch breaks transport will have a budget and the props.

The brief: CTK are planning to launch their own digital TV channel for promotional videos for prospective students. They approached you to research and produce a suite of Idents to brand their channel targeting 15-19 years students of both genders from SE London. You will have to consider the requirements of your client and work closely with them to fulfil the promotional purpose of the product. You will need to negotiate and agree a theme and design for a suite of 4 seasonal Idents that establishes consistency in the brand identity of the channel and appeals to its target audience, encouraging them to consider CTK as a place to study. You must plan and produce the suite of idents that use stop motion animation and/or live video, negotiating creative changes with the client deliver to the project to deadline that fulfill the brief. Each Ident should be approximately 30 seconds and you will initially have a budget of £50.
Amendments to Conditions
we had a meeting with the client to talk about the conditions of the 4 idents that we are creating for the CTK youtube channel. in this meeting we went over the different ideas that we had generated. we had 4 idents that we planned to be 20 seconds each but on the brief it states that we needed 4 idents that are about 30 seconds each, because we are doing live action with a lot animation in it we had to talk to the client and explain that because of all the editing needed we wouldn't have enough time to complete a set of 4 idents that last 30 seconds in that manner. after some time of discussing this the client agreed to allow us to make our idents 20 seconds.
