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:

- justify designs for instance house style.

- Need to link directly to the brief

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.


people whom use production schedukle

- producer
- cast
- 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.

What does crowdfunding mean?

Crowdfunding means a production has been funded by public donations in order to meet the target made that fits the budget. The budget needs to include everything the production needs to be made. Correct

Two advantages for an independent project:

•You don’t have to factor as many wages into the budget as the company will be small without any subsidiary companies.

•Production ideas can be decided quickly rather than having to go through many different people and legal requirements due to subsidiary companies (don't have to have their approval).

• Can get donations for any project (more freedom).

Two disadvantages for an independant project:

• Can be difficult for unknown projects (maybe not have a fanbase/audience).
• Marketing the product is more difficult because you don't have the money from funding.
• Social media can be used to promote the product because it's free e.g. - Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
