Company name and logo fin
Crystal Bukenya created a logo for her company CB Productions. She chose the initials CB as the company name to reflect her own initials in a simple way as she is the only member. The logo features the initials in navy blue text curved around a blue sphere shape, matching her blog's theme colors. She is pleased with how the logo improves the appearance of her blog layout.
Pitch
The document outlines a pitch for a 5-minute drama/thriller sequence titled "The Break of Faith". The sequence follows a young writer named Faith who meets and begins a relationship with a man named Luke. Their relationship unexpectedly turns abusive when he begins to physically harm her. The director aims to demonstrate how relationships can change over time and to encourage audiences to think deeply about their decisions. Faith provides a voiceover throughout questioning if she would remove her memories of Luke if given the choice. The target audience is males and females aged 15-35 as the director feels younger audiences cannot fully grasp the themes of abuse. The sequence is inspired by the BBC drama "Murdered by My Boyfriend" about a relationship that turns abusive and
Evaluation Activity 7
The document discusses what the author learned from their preliminary task to their completed film project. They learned how to use match on action cuts to add realism, the importance of shot-reverse-shot editing for conversations. They also kept the 180 degree rule and experimented with camera angles. Through editing in Final Cut Pro, the author learned how to alter pitch, speed up pace, and use effects like "old film" to manipulate the audience's perception.
Blog Design
The document discusses the design process for a blog created to promote a film. The author took responsibility for the blog design and adjusted fonts and layouts over time to suit the film's theme and genre. The initial design was simple as the author was still learning the software. The second design incorporated darker colors to fit with thriller conventions but lacked detail. The final design featured improved text formatting, colors, and a wallpaper of fuzzy TV screens to relate mysteriously to the film's storyline while distinguishing the blog.
Evaluation activity 4
The document discusses the target audience for a media product that has been rated 15+ by the BBFC. The target audience is middle-aged teenagers ages 15-19. Specifically, it targets both male and female teenagers who enjoy listening to hip hop, rap, and pop artists like Beyoncé and Tyga. They also enjoy watching horror, action, thriller and romance films. Marketing the 15+ rated film which contains blood, violence and drug use on channels popular with teenagers like MTV, Channel 4 and Sky Movies would be an effective way to reach this target demographic.
Creating Our Logo- 2
The document describes the process of redesigning a company logo to make it look more dynamic and dark to better reflect the company's image as a thriller media group. The previous logo had light colors and a pleasant appearance that did not convey the right message. The new logo design features a black background with an oval shape created using gradients. The company name is written in bold 3D text using effects like drop shadows and glows. Removing the background layer completed the new logo, which was deemed a success.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
