If disagreements arise between the companies, aspects of the brief may be renegotiated to resolve issues and allow them to continue cooperating effectively.
This document discusses different types of briefs that media companies may receive from clients:
- Contractual briefs set strict guidelines that must be followed to avoid legal issues.
- Commission briefs involve one media company hiring another to create a product, with negotiated terms.
- Negotiated briefs allow parties to discuss the brief to find solutions when issues arise.
- Tender briefs have companies propose ideas and the client chooses the best proposal.
The document provides examples and descriptions of each brief type to outline their key differences.
A brief provides an outline of a project for both parties involved. It lists technical details, goals, and guidelines for the creator and client. Briefs come in different formats depending on circumstances and formality. A contractual brief acts as a legal agreement between client and creator, detailing rights, licensing, and responsibilities. A commission brief provides production companies details about a proposed video, like duration, music, and locations. A competition brief clearly outlines rules, prizes, and submission details to get relevant entries from competitors.
The client is Fourwalls, a production company based in London. They are commissioning a short film of no longer than 3 minutes to be delivered by November 15th, 2015 that appeals to audiences living in London. The only requirements are the time limit and genre is open. Any music used must be copyright free or have permission to avoid legal issues. Ethical issues could arise if the client or topic are portrayed negatively.
The document defines and provides examples of different types of creative production briefs: contractual, negotiated, formal, informal, commission, tender, cooperative, and competition. It also discusses opportunities for professional self-development in communication, time management, technical skills, and career progression that working with each brief type could provide. Finally, it provides an annotated example brief for a promotional theme and advertising campaign for a hair accessory company, specifying the client, required media products, target audience, and constraints but not legal/ethical issues or timescale.
The document discusses different types of briefs that can be used when a media company is hired by a client to complete a project. It describes contractual, formal, informal, co-operative, negotiated, commission, tender, and competition briefs. For each brief type, it provides details on things like whether it is legally binding, the level of communication expected, time management approach, technical skills required, and likelihood of future contracts.
A contractual creative media production brief outlines specific guidelines a company must follow when hired by a client to complete a project. Failure to meet the guidelines could result in legal action for breach of contract. A negotiated brief occurs when two parties have differing views on a brief and must compromise through discussion to find an agreement. An open formal brief provides enough information for the media company to produce the product but allows for negotiations to clarify details and issues, though the brief may not always be legally binding.
The document summarizes the design process for a music magazine created by the author using Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Word. Photoshop was used to edit and manipulate photos as well as add design elements like the masthead, cover lines, and barcode. Word was used to write the article appearing in the double page spread. The author analyzed existing magazines like GQ and Billboard for inspiration on layout, design conventions, and writing style. The finished magazine uses design principles like the Guttenberg layout to draw readers in and features a simplistic blue and white color scheme and basic font suited to the target audience of 16-25 year olds interested in house and EDM music.
This document provides references from magazines, websites and videos from July 2015 and March-April 2015 on running, sports equipment and motivational videos. Specifically it lists articles from Men's Running magazine on marathon training and running gear, as well as pages from Nike, Adidas, YouTube videos on willpower, sports equipment, shocking videos and city-specific NikeFuel programs in London, Berlin and Paris.
The document provides an evaluation by the author of their final major project which was a video advertisement campaign for the sportswear brand Nike. In three sentences or less:
The author discusses the technical quality of the footage, the editing process, and how their final product matched their original intentions. They received feedback from a focus group on Facebook who provided positive and negative comments, and suggestions for improvements. The author analyzes the feedback and reflects on how they managed their time to complete the project on schedule while overcoming challenges.
This document contains 15 weekly progress updates from a student working on their final major project for a creative media production course. In each update, the student summarizes what they accomplished the previous week, any issues they faced, and their plan for the upcoming week. Throughout the project, the student worked to complete pre-production tasks like scheduling, research, and pitching their idea. They then filmed footage with actors over multiple weeks and spent time editing their final project together. In the last update, the student finished editing and uploading their completed project to YouTube so they could begin the evaluation portion of the project.
The document discusses editing photographs for a magazine cover and spreads. It describes adjusting brightness, contrast, exposure, and curves to improve quality and correct overexposure. Minor blemishes and marks are removed using the spot healing brush for a perfected, professional look. Further minor edits are made like increasing light and dark features using the dodge and burn tools to structure faces. The clone tool is used to smooth frizz and imperfections like brushing a similar background area over the edited part. Before and after comparisons show the effectiveness of adjustments in defining and bringing out colors for a more high quality, structured final image.
The document summarizes and evaluates three news stories presented by the author on their college radio show. For the first story, a copy-only piece on a car collision, the author notes they could have delivered it in a more serious, breaking news style. Interviews conducted for the second story about student opinions on voting matched the target audience well. The third story informed students about legal highs. Overall, the author felt their tone of voice did not always match the style of stories but presentation improved over time, and the range of stories made for a cohesive program.

Animus is a Manchester-born electronic music duo consisting of Emily and Shauna who met while studying at college. They have been making waves in the EDM scene since 2012 and had a top 20 UK hit in 2014 with their song "Upto You" featuring Alex Newell. In this exclusive interview with MINOR Magazine, Emily and Shauna discuss how they met, their influences, upcoming collaborations and festivals over the summer, and their debut album planned for release after summer which will feature some early tracks from their college days along with having a different feel than other house artists. They also discuss their recent UK headline tour in October and performing at a local gig venue in Liverpool where their music had the crowd dancing and singing along
The document provides instructions for analyzing a double-page magazine article spread. It includes a table with categories for language content, style, proofreading, and headlines. For an example article about the band "INK," the summarizer notes the pun used in the headline plays on the band's name. The article has an informal interview style but also maintains professionalism. It serves both to promote the artist and entertain readers.
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted to help determine the final major project idea. The survey included questions about the respondent's gender, age, preferences for adverts that show more than just promotion, and willingness to watch an advert about different lives wearing a certain brand. The results showed a balanced male to female audience, most respondents between 14-18 years old, a preference for adverts with more depth than just promotion, and overall willingness to watch the proposed advert idea even if not interested in the topic. The survey responses will help inform the creation of the final major project advert.
This document discusses the layout and design of two magazines: GQ magazine and Billboard magazine.
For GQ magazine, the summary describes the target audience as mainly middle-aged men, ages 17-45, from middle to upper class. It also discusses the formal text, simple fonts and colors used (red, black, white).
For Billboard magazine, the target audience is described as having a wide age range from teenagers to those in their late 30s, appealing to both genders and mainly working class readers. The magazine uses a monochrome color scheme with simple fonts and layout for a laidback feel.
This article profiles the up-and-coming band Ink, a duo composed of Ryan and Emily from Manchester, England. It discusses their rise to popularity from small local gigs to being signed and releasing their debut self-titled album. Ryan and Emily reveal that they met in high school and bonded over their love of music, and that Emily came up with the band's name. They express their excitement for their upcoming sold-out UK tour and focus on creating good quality music for their fans. The article concludes by wishing Ink the best of luck with their career.
Emily and Shauna met while studying at college in Manchester and formed the EDM duo Animus in 2012. They have seen success with singles like "Up to You" reaching the UK top 20. This exclusive interview discusses how they met, got their start playing local venues, and their plans for upcoming collaborations, festivals, and their debut album to be released after summer. They hope to take their unique blend of house music globally and become the top DJs in the world.
Legal highs are substances that mimic illegal drugs like cocaine and cannabis but are not regulated. Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas or balloons, is one popular legal high that causes euphoria and relaxation but also carries risks. While legal, nitrous oxide has been linked to 17 deaths between 2006-2012 and is used frequently by 500,000 young people globally. The interviewees were made aware of nitrous oxide's dangers but responses varied on future use.
Three local young people were asked questions about voting in the upcoming UK general election. Emily had registered to vote online, and could name some of the major parties running like Labour, the Greens, and the Lib Dems. Shauna was not registered because she was too young. Both Shauna and Sarah expressed that they did not feel informed enough about politics and the parties at a younger age to vote. Emily wanted the election to lower university tuition fees and keep the NHS funded. The interview concluded that younger voters seemed to lack political knowledge and it was uncertain if their votes could be effectively cast.
The interview prep sheet outlines details for an interview on May 7th, 2015 with various vox pops about legal highs like nitrous oxide. The journalist Ryan Sharman from r.sharman@hotmail.co.uk will record the interviews with a college voice recorder to ask 6 questions and raise awareness of legal highs like nitrous oxide, also known as hippy crack or balloons, and the risks of death from lack of oxygen.
The document defines the action and adventure genre and provides examples of films that fall into this genre. It then analyzes three specific films - Guardians of the Galaxy, The Divergent Series: Insurgent, and Avatar - in more detail. For each film, it summarizes the key plot points and commercial performance. It then focuses more closely on Guardians of the Galaxy, discussing elements like its large star-studded cast, special effects, sci-fi storyline, and how these factors make it appealing and draw in audiences.
An interview is scheduled for April 21st 2015 between journalist Ryan Sharman and a vox pops interviewee at Eccles College regarding young people and the 2015 election. The interview will be recorded using the college's voice recorder and focus on topics like voting registration, knowledge of parties, opinions on lowering the voting age, and preferences for the upcoming election. Planned questions explore the interviewee's age, registration status, sources of voting information, and views of the parties and issues in the 2015 election.
There was a huge surge in young people registering to vote as the deadline to register for the upcoming UK general election approached, with 47,300 people under 24 and 39,300 people aged 25-34 registering in a single day. Young people drove an increase of 124,000 registrations on the Sunday before the deadline. The spike in youth voter registrations suggests efforts to encourage young people to register have been effective, as the ratio of young to older registrations has been significantly higher than normal recently. The chair of the Electoral Commission urged anyone still unregistered to take the few minutes needed to apply online before the deadline.
The document provides details about the films Cinderella and Big Hero 6. For Cinderella, it describes the plot of the story, identifies the target audience as children and fans of other Disney princess films, and discusses how the film uses elements of fantasy and romance. For Big Hero 6, it identifies the target audience as kids based on other Disney films it was produced by, describes the action/adventure genre, and provides production details. Marketing methods discussed include TV, social media, cinema, posters/billboards. The concept of "anchorage" is explained in using elements on the Cinderella poster to connect to the target audience.
Ryan Sharman is producing an advertising campaign for Nike as his final major project for a creative media production course. The production plan outlines the equipment, actors, locations, and minimal post-production needs for the project. It will involve filming athletes at three local locations using a Canon DSLR camera, tripod, and on-camera grip. Transportation between the nearby sites will primarily require a train for one shoot. No props will be used beyond the Nike products, and editing will simply overlay chosen music.

1. Final Major Project – Task 1
Contractual– ‘A contractual brief is a type of brief or contract where a media company is employed by
the client in order to complete a project within the brief which is set to specific guidelines which the media
company must follow. It will be very important for the media company to follow these guidelines and do
exactly what the client states within the brief, if they fail to do so this can result in a breech of contract
and the company could face legal actions’.
http://creativemediaatjt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/contractual-brief.html
‘A contractual brief is a contract with a media company and a client where the client’s project is
undertaken by the media company where specific guidelines must be met. ‘
A production which might be used with the contractual brief could be for example a music video, this
meaning that the artist/band who is the client will contact the media company asking for certain things
and giving guidelines for what they want and how they want their music video to be produced.
Communication is the first thing which is important with this kind of brief because of the guidelines which
must be met, to make sure all the conditions are kept I would use the communication of meetings and
emails. When it comes to this I would use the use of meeting at least a once weeks prior before filming
for the music video and at least email once a day to make sure any changes are made. Now onto time
management, to keep the client up to date with what’s going on I would create some sort of schedule on
showing what’shappens when over a certain period of weeks/months. The technical skills would be fairly
easy and mostly done by the media company because it is their profession, hardware would be the
camera, lighting, microphone etc. which the media company will takefull responsibility of and sometimes
the artist/band showing them what they would like. Software is just the matter of editing the music video
clips together to produce the final outcome. Last but not least would be the career progression, from
having this contract with a popular artist/band because of how popular they are this could lead in
recognition for your work and allows you to get noticed by others. For other people to see your work a
portfolio can be made in order to do this, it comes with many benefits and allows more opportunities in
the future.
2. Negotiated – ‘This type of brief will be brought up if the co-operative brief given to the two of more media
companies that are competing the project have any issues betweenthem selves about the brief or
anything they would like to clear up with the client. Through the negotiations the brief can then be
changed in order to suite everyparty taking part in the production. This could be anything from changing
the appearance of the product to changing the products content as well as keeping it to the guidelines set
in the brief.’
http://creativemediaatjt.blogspot.co.uk/20 13/03/negotiated-brief.html
‘A negotiated brief is brought up when two companies are both competing for a project and have issues
between themselves about the brief or anything they would like to clear up with the client.’
An example of a negotiated brief would be if the client hired two or more media companies to produce a
music video, the media companies must negotiate terms between them to agree on some aspects the
video, (such as what is included within the frames) to produce the client in the right way and ultimately
end up with a final outcome of the video. Communication is important within this brief as it makes the
first impression on the client, which needs to be a positive one as you would need to keep them up to
date with their music video via email and meetings to keep the conditions met to make the music video
suit the client. Time management is also key as you would need to keep the client up to date with
schedules for the future weeks and months of their music video such as dates as casting and or filming
and how the client will be presented in the video. Technical skills would mean the hardware that the
product would be produced on such as the cameras, lighting, microphone if needed. The software that
the music video may be presented or edited on will create the final outcome. The media company will

to be created and in this case it
is a 10 second advert called an
E Sting.
The timescale of
the brief is giving
you a deadline as
when the advert
should be
completed.
The legal and ethical
states that you can only
add and use certain these
basically meaning there
are guidelines that need
to be followed to accept
your project.
This states whom the client is and who you will be
making the project for, in this case it is E4 a popular
TV channel in the UK.
3. usually take care of this responsibility. A career progression could end up depending on the clients
popularity and reputation, which could end up in future clients which would be possible by being noticed
with items such as a portfolio.
Formal – ‘This where a media company is given a brief by the client which outlines the product which they
are wanting to be made. This brief is very open and only gives enough information to be able to produce
the product; any issues or information that the media company would like to go over can be discussed
during the negotiations with the client. Boththe client and the company employed by them will formally
agree on the project and the brief but it cannot always be legally binding.’
http://creativemediaatjt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/formal-brief.html
‘A formal brief is where a media company is given brief which outlines the product in which they are
wanting to made, this is open and only gives the media company basic instructions.’
An example of a formal brief would be if a client was to be interviewed for a newspaper/magazine by a
media company, then the client would provide the media company with information to which the media
could use as outlines and fashion into an interview that was discussed with the client, but not everything
said could be on the record, therefore if something off record was printed, then it may not be legally
binding. Communication is important within this brief as it makes the first impression on the client, which
needs to be a positive one as you would need to keep them up to date with their magazine/newspaper
via email and meetings to keep the conditions met to make the print work outcome be what the client
wanted. Time management is also key as you would need to keep the client up to datewith schedules for
the future weeks and months of their print work such as dates as hiring of staff and or conducting
interviews for the magazine/newspaper. Technical skills would mean the hardware that the product
would be produced on such as the cameras for photos and the software for typing the text. The software
that the print work may be presented or edited will create the final outcome. The media company will
usually take care of this responsibility. A career progression could end up depending on the clients
popularity and reputation, which could end up in future clients which would be possible by being noticed
with items such as a portfolio.
Informal – ‘An informal brief is not documented and is usually of the verbal kind. It is where the client and
the company, which they have employed simply, discuss the requirements for the product they will be
making and ultimately agree upon the project.’
http://creativemediaatjt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/informal-brief.html
‘An informal brief is usually done verbally and is not documented, the client and the media company
simply discuss requirements for the agreement of the project.’
An example of this brief would be if a client such as local shop/charity/workshop to ask a media company
if they could document what they were doing, what they were bringing to the community and show
aspects of the business and because promoting them to bring more people together and aware of their
establishment. This would only be an informal brief because the media company do almost all of the
work allowing the clients to sit back and not have that much say what is going on because they arethe
professionals. When it comes to communication first of all it would be very informal of course this
meaning in person just general chitchat of what will happen and also now and again phone calls to
arrange dates of filming if they were in the shop location. Time management also takes a role within this
brief because you would need to let the client know when the media company is going in to film within
the shop for example and also to see opening times if needed. Technical skills for this would be mostly
4. the production side of the media company with would mean filming, recording sound, actors if needed
this would all be done under at a professional standard and be well produced. Career progression within
this would be very good for the media company because of the client being a local business other
businesses in the area could also take interest in what is being done and also want this to be done for
their company as well and for people to see the media companies work they could make a website with
portfolios for example.
Commission – ‘This brief is where a large media company will employ an other independent media
company to create and produce the product for them, and after the product has been made the larger
company may go on to be use the product for an externalclient who will pay the independent media
company for making the product and they could even get a cut of the royalties too. The brief is not
negotiated betweenthe company and the client, however is negotiated between the two media
companies.’
‘This is when a large media company hires an independant media company to create and produce a
product for them.’
http://creativemediaatjt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/commission-brief.html
An example of a commission brief would be if an independent media company hired another
independent media company to create a poster, then the second media company would be trusted by
the first to bring new ideas and authority for this task, as well as the second media company might also
get a cut of the royalties too. Communication is important within this brief as it makes the first
5. impression on the client, which needs to be a positive one as you would need to keep them up to date
with their poster via email and meetings to keep the conditions met to make the poster outcome be
what the client wanted. Time management is also key as you would need to keep the client up to date
with schedules for the future weeks and months of their advert such as dates as appointments with
directors and or layout design specialist. Technical skills would mean the hardware that the poster would
be produced on such as the cameras if there areany pictures on the poster and or people to do research
for the poster. The software that the poster may be presented or edited will create the final outcome.
The media company will usually take care of this responsibility. A career progression could end up
depending on the clients popularity and reputation, which could end up in future clients which would be
possible by being noticed with items such as a portfolio.
Tender – ‘This is where a client will advertise their brief and a production company will bring together a
proposal that they will pitch to the client, there could be multiple pitches to the client from many different
companies, so the client will then get the chance to choose the proposal that they think best suits their
brief and offer the job to that production company.’
http://creativemediaatjt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/tender-brief.html
‘A client will advertise their brief and a production company will come forth presenting their idea and
pitch.’
An example of a tender brief would be if the client choose to do a music video for their company, they
would create a brief and advertise it. Then several media production companies will create a proposal
that will be pitched to the client, to which the client will choose their favorite music video pitch, and go
with that company. Communication is important within this brief as it makes the first impression on the
client, which needs to be a positive one as you would need to keep them up to date with their music
video via email and meetings to keep the conditions met to make the music video suit the client. Time
management is also key as you would need to keep the client up to date with schedules for the future
weeks and months of their music video such as dates as casting and or filming and how the client will be
presented in the video. Technical skills would mean the hardware that the product would be produced on
such as the cameras, lighting, and microphone if needed. The software that the music video may be
presented or edited on will create the final outcome. The media company will usually take care of this
responsibility. A career progression could end up depending on the clients popularity and reputation,
which could end up in future clients which would be possible by being noticed with items such as a
portfolio.
6. Co-operative – ‘Within this type of brief there are usually two or more companies that are hired by the
client to work to the brief they have written for the specific project they re wanting to be completed. After
both companies have received the brief they can then proceed to work together to produce the product. If
there is a disagreement or conflict in ideas there can be a negotiated brief in order to resolve these
issues.’
http://creativemediaatjt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/co-operative-brief.html
‘Co-operative brief is when there are two or more media companies that are hired by the same client,
and they both have to have written for this specific project.’
An example of a co-operative brief would be if a client wanted to produce a documentary, they would
hire two or more media companies who would work together to produce the documentary that would fit
the clients brief, if these two companies disagree on anything, they will have to negotiate the brief to
achieve a final documentary. Communication is important within this brief as it makes the first
impression on the client, which needs to be a positive one as you would need to keep them up to date
with their documentary via email and meetings to keep the conditions met to make the documentary
outcome be what the client wanted. Time management is also key as you would need to keep the client
up to date with schedules for the future weeks and months of their documentary such as dates as
casting, filming and locations depending what the theme of the documentary is. Technical skills would
mean the hardware that the documentary would be produced on such as the cameras, lighting,
microphone. The software that the documentary may be presented or edited will create the final
outcome. The media company will usually take care of this responsibility. A career progression could end
up depending on the clients popularity and reputation, which could end up in future clients which would
be possible by being noticed with items such as a portfolio.
Competition – ‘This is where a client can put their brief out so it can be accessed by all of the different
production companies that are participating. It can sometimes been seen as a free competition as each
production company will complete the brief and the client can then judge which company has the best
project and as an award they have it published.’
http://creativemediaatjt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/competition-brief.html
‘Competition is when a client puts out their brief so that it can be accessed by all different media
companies allowing them participation, this can sometimes be seen as a free competition because at the
end the client will judge on the best.’
An example of competition brief would be if a client was to produce an article or newspaper of some
sort, they would place the brief somewhere public for several production companies to access and create
their own product based of this brief, to which at the end, the client will choose the best one and have it
published. Communication is important within this brief as it makes the first impression on the client,
which needs to be a positive one as you would need to keep them up to date with their
magazine/newspaper via email and meetings to keep the conditions met to make the print work
outcome be what the client wanted. Time management is also key as you would need to keep the client
up to date with schedules for the future weeks and months of their print work such as dates as hiring of
staff and or conducting interviews for the magazine/newspaper. Technical skills would mean the
hardware that the product would be produced on such as the cameras for photos and the software for
typing the text. The software that the print work may be presented or edited will create the final
outcome. The media company will usually take care of this responsibility. A career progression could end
up depending on the clients popularity and reputation, which could end up in future clients which would
be possible by being noticed with items such as a portfolio.
