The document discusses different types of briefs that can be used between media companies and clients for projects. A contractual brief outlines strict guidelines that must be followed. A negotiated brief allows for discussion if any issues arise with the initial brief. A formal brief provides basic information and allows for further discussion.

E-cigarettes were introduced in the US in 2007 as a potential smoking cessation aid. They work by heating a liquid that turns into vapor, which is then inhaled. While e-cigarettes may offer health advantages over regular cigarettes by avoiding combustion, regulatory agencies are uncertain about their safety. Before using e-cigarettes, it's important to understand the facts about their risks and potential health impacts. Some studies have found that heavy users of e-cigarettes can consume nicotine levels equivalent to smoking multiple regular cigarettes per day.
This document provides a template for conducting a risk assessment for a film photography shoot. It lists potential hazards to consider, including who or what may be harmed, existing risk controls, and a risk assessment level. For each hazard identified, such as falling in water, bad weather, or other people, the template specifies the location, those affected, existing controls like railings or umbrellas, and risk level according to an included chart. The final column indicates any further actions needed based on the risk level, such as taking swimming lessons, finding shelter, or shooting in a low-populated area.

Initial location reconnaissance report by tom rossTomMichaelRoss
The document provides location reconnaissance reports for filming a music video based on a script. It discusses 5 potential locations - a cabin that can represent a prison cell, HM Prison Manchester which the video is based on, Eccles Sixth Form Centre for shots of a radio station, and NortonsHiab Services Ltd for corridor shots. Each location is described in terms of what scenes from the script will be filmed there and why it was chosen to suit the video's needs.
There are multiple ways to analyze films, including using elements like iconography, character, narrative, and audio codes to examine what is depicted. For example, in the film Cowboys and Aliens, Western genre conventions like cactuses and tumbleweeds in the background clearly identify it as a western. Additionally, an auteur filmmaker has their own distinct editing style and brings their personal creative vision to each movie, like Quentin Tarantino and Tim Burton, whereas commercial directors may lack a unique directorial style.
This document provides a template for assessing risks associated with film production activities. It identifies potential hazards like loose wires, small fires, vehicles, traffic and dark rooms. For each hazard, it considers who may be harmed, what property could be damaged, existing risk controls and assigns a risk level based on likelihood and consequences. Further actions are proposed like ensuring safe walking areas by vehicles, being aware of traffic and pot holes, and adding lighting in dark rooms.
The radio show was more professionally done with improved fading between songs. However, the wrong jingles from another radio station were used. The hosts had a fluent conversation that was relevant to the target audience and store offerings. There was brief dead air when hosts got confused about who was speaking. Overall the amount of talking was good and having information prepared on artists made the discussion more fluent and professional. More preparation is needed for future shows.
This document discusses using genre analysis and auteur theory to analyze films. It explains Lacey's Repertoire of Elements, which provides a framework for analyzing a film's setting, characters, narrative events, iconography, and style/technical codes. The document applies this framework to analyze the trailers and conventions of films like Pulp Fiction, Walk Among the Tombstones, Mean Girls, and Napoleon Dynamite. Key points of analysis include the films' genres, iconography, settings, and whether they demonstrate generic or distinctive authorial styles.
1) The student created a music video attempting to portray a prison break by filming in plain, minimal locations to resemble a prison cell. Scenes were also shot at a real prison to enhance the prison theme.
2) Editing the video took 3 weeks to arrange clips in the proper order and add black and white effects in Premiere and After Effects. Multiple adjustment layers were needed due to varying light levels between clips.
3) While the shots represented the song well, the original idea of filming the prison on fire was not fully achieved due to safety restrictions. Reshoots would have captured more shots and matched the frame rate between locations.
1. The document describes a student's design of a magazine front cover and double-page spread for a music magazine called V Music.
2. The student took inspiration from magazines like Kerrang and Hammer and used classic indie/rock themes of black and white images and included a free CD in the design.
3. The target audience is described as mainly people aged 14-21, with a focus on socio-economic classes C2-D, and more aimed at males but possibly appealing also to some females.
Tom Ross created a final budget list. The list likely included expenses and income projections to help plan his finances. In 3 sentences or less, the summary aims to convey the key purpose and topic of the original document at a high level.
The interview prep sheet outlines an upcoming interview on April 30th about e-cigarettes. The interview will be conducted by Thomas Ross of a local newspaper at the Eccles Sixth Form Centre.

Tom Ross created a 1 hour radio show about Manchester music and news using recordings from the Eccles College radio studio and a personal audio recorder. While the quality of the recordings was clear, Tom notes that his speaking could have been clearer. He learned how to edit sound clips and adjust volumes using Reaper audio editing software. For his next project, Tom would create a survey first to get audience input, have a co-presenter to make recording easier, and add jingles to make the show more professional. Overall, most listeners thought the show was good but some felt it was unprofessional, and Tom is happy with the final outcome while seeing ways it could be improved.
