We came up with a lot of ideas and we have decided to do 4 different leaflets for the parents evening. 1 leaflet will be formal as it is for the parents about the school. 2nd leaflet will be for year 7's and it will tell them everything they will need to know about the school. 3rd leaflet will be on the GCSE'S and what we have to offer for GCSE students. and the last leaflet will be on the 6th form about all the courses that are on offer for Alevel and BTECH students it will also include everything about the 6th form centre and what The beacon has to offer.



As you can see in this brainstorm we haven't got a lot of ideas because we got stuck. we will go back and carry on the brainstorming for the video ideas and we will add more to it.

Here are some ideas that we have thought of:
> punctual
> montage of video clips
> quotes
> which key stages are we going to do.
> sampling the videos

 

Advantages of mind maps.

Mind maps:

> Help you see all your ideas clearly.
> They are creative and they show you what idea are fruitful.
> It is a history of how all your ideas have developed.
> Easy to compare all of your ideas.
> You can keep adding to an idea.   
> In a mind you can clearly outline the advantages and disadvantages in an idea.
> Memory is naturally associative. And not in a straight line.
> Mind maps are visual they are easily remembered.
> They are very easy to review.

What things do we need to consider when we're evaluating the strengths, weaknesses and workability of project ideas.

> How easy is it to find out all the research and produce the research.
> How will you do it (how will you plan it).
> Why would it work well.
> What are the strengths, weaknesses and workability of the projects of the ideas.
> How much common knowledge.
> Taking into consideration similar already existing projects and their success and failures.
> Produce samples to test the ideas.
> Practicality of the ideas (Time, locations, and how big of a team do you need).
> Will it be manageable or unmanageable.
> Demand ( Which ideas will be on demand with audiences and the owners).
> Legality.
> Cost.


  

Pre production mind map

Running a production team meeting

For an effective production management you need:
> Team work
> Clear channels of communication
> Regular team meeting (to keep track of whats happening and to make sure we know what we are doing)
> Good organisation and planning  ( to achieve a good structure to the process)
> Having some one run the meeting


Key people in a meeting:

Chairperson: Is someone who takes charge in organizing and running the meeting. The role of the chair person is to ensure that all ideas are contributed as some members may find it difficult to share ideas., also to make sure that the meeting is well managed and the discussion keeps on the right focus.

Agenda: Is someone who schedules meetings and makes it happen. And they also discuss any additional information that haven't been made clear before hand.

Minutes: Is someone who records all the information in the meeting, and who turns up to the meetings. the person who takes the minuets has to listen carefully to the ideas that have been mentioned and make sure they write it down.

Task:
Hold a meeting and make sure that there is a chairperson that takes charge. Decide who will take the role as the agenda and ensure that the meeting in advance is conducted and all people contribute, ensure that all ideas are discussed and make sure that someone is taking notes throughout the meeting. Hold regular team meetings.

In our first meeting:
Tanya will chair the meeting and will give out the agenda.
I will take the minutes and write down everything said in the meeting.
Jordan will take the agenda and scheduled meetings.

Case study: originating and selecting ideas. PMH productions

PMH productions is an independent production company. They were commissioned by a local fashion store they are ask to make a short promotion video for fair-trade clothes. The video would be sent to customers on a DVD or streamed on the internet. it had to be finished in time for a launch event in three month's.

The producer started holding team meetings and they brainstormed ideas that would be possible the team used mind maps to initiate ideas. the team undertook some research in to each idea and came back to address each idea and how much time, money and practically of the ideas at hand.  

The ad the idea of shooting in Malaysia but the rejected it because it would take up to much time and money for them to get this done. They also rejected the idea of taking still images because although it was a good idea i would not be a good DVD or internet stream. They did decide on shooting a fashion show at local
studio and invite an audience with beautiful fair-trade logos and writing at the back of the fashion show to  make sure everyone could see them and so they would know that their local store was a fair-trade store.

originating ideas

The first stage of any production process is originating ideas. First I have to think about the medium, is it going to be a radio program computer game, website, magazine. The I have to plan the process and come up with ideas. Then I will research my ideas.

The best way for me to originate ideas is to use a mind map. A mind map helps me to:
> Keep a record on my ideas.
> It helps me get more skills.
> Help identify my most strongest ideas.
> It will show a range of research skills.
