The Design Brief

Your brief is to: -

Design a promotional video for a product or subject of the students choice. The promotional video MUST be a minimum of 2 minutes in length and NO MORE than 5 minutes. The video must contain a minimum of 3 images created by the student using the program Fireworks that show (in total) a MINIMUM of 8 editing techniques. The video MUST be edited using the PINNACLE software supplied. The video MUST contain video shot by the student, music, transitions and voice over.

Design Brief (Part 1)

To identify a need we need to look out for a problem. For the purposes of this example I am choosing my hobby FISHING

Basic Scaffold
Introduction I am a very keen fisherman and would like to share my interest with people in the local community. Below is a flow diagram that shows what types of items I could promote

What exactly is a time-plan?

It is a plan, or an overview of what is happening and when. The time-plan can include space for who is responsible for each stage or task. Using a time-plan is one way to ensure that: targets are met things happen when they are supposed to nothing is overlooked or forgotten no details are missed out all the work is not left until the last moment the event runs smoothly A time-plan should mean more control and less stress for those involved. How to make a time-plan Below are two methods commonly used to make time-plans. Look at both methods and decide if either would help you to organise your project. Remember: when deadlines have to be met it is important to have a margin of time in place as insurance against error or mishap, e.g. if something goes wrong at the last moment, you will have time to respond and to implement your contingency plan.
