Evaluate: advantages and disadvantages , always have to evaluate a pre production document - SWOT, Mindmap, Moodboard, Bluesky thinking ,visualisation diagram, story board , script and site map


Effectiveness: How well/useful that product/document is - Why that document is important in pre production. Need to make sure that it is linked to the scenario . The conventions of the document . Showing consequences of having missing features. (conventions are advantages) . Another disadvantage would be not saying anything about additional pre production documents that are needed to go alongside the document you are evaluating.


You need to use examples from the brief - directly relative
Explain why something is effective or not
Explain why something is important based on who the audience are (target audience)
Needs to be done in full sentences with appropriate grammar.

LO3/ 4: visualisation Diagram feedback

4/6 D-
The reasons why i didnt get full marks for this question are , i failed to mention different social media sites the shoe has been advertised on so that the customer could follow the print product to an interactive site, also i missed out pricing and the reverse side of the poster.

Questions 8 and 9 are both out of 6 and you will have to draw two pre production documents.



conventions of a poster:

- promoting/advertising the product it is about ie: Rimmel london nail varnishes
- Portrait
-  (Masthead) Brand logo clearly displayed either at the top centre or bottom centre
- image of the product/the product in use
- Description of the product
- Strapline/slogan
- Graphics
- Keeping to house style of existing products
- Web link/social media
- Review , not from competitors
Annotations:

LO3: production schedules and forms

1. A production schedule is a way of keeping to the dates and deadlines set by the client, this ensures that certain elements of the production are done in correct time frames. This involves completing tasks such as filming and resources (hardware/software)- this shows to the client that their product is being handled by an organised team of people.

2. These production schedules are important as they allow the client and the company making the product to clearly map out the events happening toward producing the product.

- personnel used in the production




Based on Road safety computer game scenario.




A production schedule can also be described as a project management tool.


Microsoft exel is an appropriate piece of software that could help you make a production schedule as it allows you to add and edit information regarding the project. Exel allows you to make the tables that are appropriate for the brief/scenario.



Identify one project management tool that could be used to keep track of the project tasks and explain why it is suitable for the task [3]


One project management tool that could be used would be a production schedule, this allows the company to suitably plan out all of the tasks and activities that need completing in order to make the product successful for the client. It is a thorough way of planning and organising the workload into managable chunks and visually check off tasks that need completing in a certain time frame. It is suitable for this task as the client has asked for the product to be completed in a sum of 13 weeks should they be given the go ahead, the company then would make a production schedule as to give structure to the making of the product for example which elements need to be completed by week 1,2,3 ect.

For this prelim task we were given a brief to create a magazine for UTC sheffield based on our knowledge of conventions. To create this front cover for my magazine i used photoshop and original images of UTC to begin to design a front cover. I attempted to include many of the different conventions such as a banner containing information about a competition.
