31.2/5.2 Be able to research for social action and community media production work
Homelessness in South London
outline of the project: this project is based around the homelessness going on in south london.
aims of the project:
The aim of this project is to make people aware of homelessness in their area and how we should stop ignoring them and think of ways to help get them back on their feet. I wish to make people aware of the fact that the number of people sleeping rough on the streets of London
target audience:
The target audience of my documentary is everyone as i believe that this is a message for everyone to hear even though homelessness is not an issue in all areas it is still possible for people in different communities to help with situation but they do not due to be them being unaware of the situation I also believe everyone should watch this is because the areas that are suffering with extreme homelessness are used by all of us such as croydon shopping centre as people from all over south come to use this well known shopping centre but are unaware of the vast people living in dirty allies, car parks and behind some of the most used stores.
timescale:
My aim is to complete filming with in a maximum of two weeks and have the final edit prepared after another week.

different types of brief
There are two different types of brief, contractual and cooperatives. Contractual briefs is where a client well hire a media company to complete a project while following all instructions giving in the brief. Cooperative briefs on the other hand are very brief and giving out to multiple media companies instead of just the one, because there are more then one media companies competing on one project it allows them more freedom to try and do things there way instead of already being told how things should be done by the client.
why is it important to follow a brief
it is important for the media companies to follow the brief given to them by the employer because it makes things easier for them as it well tell them in detail what the product is and what they want them to do with it. for example if the company does not fully understand what they are being asked to do the brief is full with content to help them understood what they are being asked to do.
why do you need to negotiate
being able to negotiate with the employer allows for improvements to be made where the employer may not have seen. it also helps the media company get the better over their competitors who have also been hired to work on the project as it allows their project to have more individuality.
why do you need to identify your strengths and weaknesses
it is important to identify your strengths and weaknesses as it underlines what part of the project you should put your attention to.
what are the most important things to consider; deadlines and reading it correctly
The most important thing to consider is that the project is completed o the set deadline and that the brief has been read correctly if it is a contractual so the employer is satisfied with the project.
