Research

In the Media Industry there are many things that are needed to be taken into account:

• The average pay of a web designer hourly is £20-£50
• For a student it would be £5-£10
• Detailed research is needed into the target audience
• Ethical issues, a student taking work from a professional that may change the industry
• If you cant reach the deadline dont take the project, because you will have to pay compensation due to the companies loss because your work wasnt in on time
• Never turn down a job if you are finding it difficult to complete the work get some help in
• Negiotation a budget on work before work has even started

The first game I played was a game that you had to navigate the mouse around a course in order to progress to the next level, it is pretty good has different levels and as each level goes on the game gets harder, it is quite an addictive game and it doesn’t go on for so long that the player gets bored of it, the audience of the game is probably for teenagers 15+ because it solves boredom and you can play it for as long as you like.

The second game I played was a lot worse than the first this game was boring and easy had no challenge factor at all, the only thing you had to do was drag the words onto the picture, the game was probably meant for younger players in order to teach them simple words, the game definitely isn’t for ages above 8-10.

The third game I looked at was simple to the second but with a few more options this game had more pictures it was just a more advanced version than the word game, you had to match the colours with the pictures in order to progress through the game, the game once again is probably for the younger audience maybe being for up to 12 years old.

Brief

We are a major company based in the UK selling kitchen appliances; we are looking to promote our new electronic potato peeler which will be released onto the market sometime this year. We have plants all over the UK in most highly populated cities are main facility is in London, but we are in Bournemouth, Manchester, Bristol, Sheffield and Nottingham.

The product is a new potato peeler that is completely brilliant compared to any existing peelers, it will peel five times faster than any peeler on the market at the moment. It is an electronic kitchen appliance that you place a potato on and it will cut all of the skin of and or slice it if the owner of the appliance wishes.

The budget for this television advert will be £3000 we will pay for actors and expenses that you may require.

For this brief you will be asked to create a television advert to promote a new product and show how it is used correctly, the product is new electronic potato peeler, which is easy to use and will last a long time. The product is called PotatoPeelerPro, research is needed into the market to identify who would buy this product and why.

Things that should be included in the TV Advert:

·         The advert should be targeted at people in catering professions but could be for household use as well

·         It must promote the product to make it look unique

·         It should show the PotatoPeelerPro in being demonstrated, showing how it is used and why they should buy it

·         There could be multiple people demonstrating the peeler showing how anyone could use it

·         The demonstration video should be as simple and as short as possible and how useful it is

·         The name PotatoPeelerPro should be used throughout the advert.

·         It should be 30 seconds to a minute long

·         The price of the product and contact on how to buy it

The work should be completed in two months, the completed work must have a good quality TV advertisement which outlines everything in the brief, and the deadline for the work is 18/11/2011.
