This document discusses different types of briefs used between media companies and clients. A contractual brief clearly outlines expectations, prices, and terms agreed upon by both parties. A negotiated brief allows some flexibility for the media company to discuss issues and negotiate aspects of the project. A formal brief provides detailed information about the project goals without unnecessary details. An informal brief discusses the project verbally without a written document, allowing open discussion but risking lack of clear expectations. Communication of briefs is typically via email while file sharing platforms can also be used. Time management is important, and can be helped by a production schedule. Technical skills and experience levels needed vary depending on the size of the media company and complexity of the project.
A contractual brief sets clear expectations and guidelines for a media company to follow for a specific task. This includes prices and payment terms agreed upon by the client and media company. While it provides clarity on what the client wants, it could result in a heavy workload straining the media company.
An informal brief outlines the project verbally rather than through a written document, allowing open discussion between the client and media company. This gives the media company flexibility to provide input before finalizing the deal. However, it risks the media company declining tasks they see as too labor-intensive or missing details the client expected.

Your first point of call for information on vendor campaigns and a valuable tool to plan, implement, manage, track and measure the success of their marketing campaigns.
The document provides an overview of programmatic buying and the key players involved. It discusses how traditional direct media buying between advertisers and publishers evolved with the introduction of ad networks and exchanges. This allowed for automated real-time bidding on impressions but required additional technologies. Demand side platforms (DSPs) act as the interface for advertisers to manage bids and target audiences. Supply side platforms (SSPs) similarly help publishers maximize revenue from their inventory. Data management platforms (DMPs) provide critical user data to DSPs to inform targeted bidding decisions. Together these components facilitate programmatic advertising on a massive scale.

Major Disruption! (Report)
Cloud computing is disrupting more than our technological norms. It is also creating new business models and new ways of working together.
KEY MESSAGES
• Cloud computing is disrupting more than our technological norms. It is completely transforming the way businesses interact, people collaborate, and business models are designed.
• Both within and outside the IT sector, companies are capitalising on the changing landscape by using and offering cloud services. This allows them to meet customer expectations, operate in a more agile fashion,
and develop new revenue streams.
• As a result of these changes, companies are becoming both consumers and providers, sometimes simultaneously.
• New business models and changing customer expectations will lead to increased competition and declining revenue and profit opportunities
unless companies proactively change—and continue to change—their understanding of the market and their role in it.
• Survival—not to mention profitability and long-term viability—depends on a company's ability to transform its business models and go-to-market structures.
• Unfortunately, the majority of companies continue to pursue their traditional approaches, failing to satisfy customers and therefore missing out on revenue opportunities.

The document discusses the process of designing a magazine focused on electronic music. It describes choosing a simple font and color scheme of white, red, and black for the cover to attract attention without overdoing it. Photoshop was used to design the cover and double page spread. Two photos were used but had different lighting conditions, making it hard to make them appear taken in the same studio. Improvements could have been made to the front cover photo and design. Conventions like issue numbers and page numbers were included to make the magazine seem more authentic. The text layout separated the artist name and interview into two columns. Overall, the design followed conventions to engage the target audience of electronic music fans.

The document discusses editing two images for a magazine cover.
For the first image, the background is removed and the image is darkened to make it stand out on different backgrounds. Tools like levels, curves, hue and saturation are used to mimic artificial lighting effects. Bevel and emboss and drop shadow effects are added.
The second image involves duplicating the layer, cutting out the subject on one layer, desaturating the background layer, and applying a red color filter gradient. Curves are used to make the subject stand out against the red background. Levels and hue/saturation are also used to brighten and desaturate the image slightly.
The document provides a lengthy evaluation of the author's final major project creating a short film. Some key points:
- The overall technical quality was let down by digital noise visible in shots due to high ISO settings, though post-production color correction helped.
- New skills like script writing were developed, while others like pre-production planning were improved. Cinematography skills increased but some shots were shaky.
- Editing was challenging but a learning experience, though color correction differences between scenes were noticeable.
- Overall the project increased the author's film experience and skills in areas like script writing, cinematography, and editing, but some aspects like the plot reveal could have been strengthened.
This document discusses choosing fonts for a film title that is a hybrid of mystery and thriller genres. It recommends three fonts - Bebas Neue, Shoemaker, and Vacer Sans - for their simplicity and clean, thin textures that would make the title look professional and stand out. Of the three, Shoemaker is selected as the best fitting font for the film due to its damaged aspect, which would represent the protagonist and highlight the issues of mental illness.
This document contains a reference sheet listing websites about genre conventions for mystery, war, and psychological thriller genres. The reference sheet includes the website URL, date accessed, author, and article title for each source to help with research on genre conventions.

For Empire, the use of a popular film poster appeals to its target audience of younger adults. While the magazine has a broad demographic, this cover specifically targets lower and middle class male readers. Vibe features the electronic artist Deadmau5, appealing to its target audience interested in urban and electronic music and culture. Both magazines effectively use design principles like prominent text and images to attract readers from the primary optical area to the terminal area according to how the eye reads.
The document discusses the production of the author's short film for their final major project. Production went well overall, with the author managing to complete all shots on time. One issue was that the garage location had a lot of clutter that was difficult to hide or move. Another shoot took multiple hours but they were able to complete it in one day. There were some complications like preparing the camera and the author's directing skills being rusty, but improved over time. One actor also dropped out last minute, but a friend helped fill in. Overall, filming went quite well despite some challenges.
The document provides guidelines for a final major project pitch consisting of 6 slides: Slide 1 introduces the presenter and their chosen media format and goals. Slide 2 provides a synopsis of their mystery/thriller idea and why they chose it. Slide 3 discusses what inspired the idea and links it to a similar short film. Slides 4-5 identify the target audience and how to attract them. Slide 6 outlines the planned production stages. The conclusion wraps up the pitch.
Final major projecgt risk assessment formAdam Grundy
This document provides a template for conducting a risk assessment for a film production project. It lists potential hazards for different scenes, who may be harmed, existing risk controls, and a risk assessment level. Hazards addressed include tripping, cutting oneself, time pressure, running out of battery, dropping the camera, and falling down stairs. For each hazard, the document evaluates the likelihood and consequences of the risk according to a provided chart. Based on the risk level, further actions are identified such as having extra crew support to prevent falls or allocate extra time in case of going over schedule.
This production call sheet summarizes the logistics of filming the movie "SanityAgainstReality" over two days at two locations. It details the shooting schedule and scenes to be filmed each day, contacts for those involved in the production, and a basic equipment and props list. Precautions are noted around utilizing private homes for filming and managing other potential risks. The goal is to efficiently allocate time and complete all necessary scenes within the scheduled filming windows.
The short film uses effective cinematography and editing techniques to tell a science fiction story. Medium shots are used throughout to show both the protagonist and the environment as she explores the room she finds herself in. Close-ups express her emotions. Long shots establish a sense of isolation. A tracking shot at the end reveals her attempted escape was an illusion. The dark color scheme and advanced technology portrayed are conventions of the science fiction genre. The narrative follows a linear three-act structure as the protagonist first discovers her locked room, then attempts escape, only to find it was not possible.

The short film "Surrender" effectively uses cinematography techniques like low and high angle shots to portray authority between soldiers. It has a dark, low-saturated color scheme that immerses the viewer in the realism of war. The film follows typical genre conventions of war movies, showing the impact of war on exhausted soldiers who want to surrender. It uses a three-part narrative structure of introduction, confrontation, and resolution to tell the story of German soldiers attempting to surrender to Russian forces.
