Task 6A: Report on Feedback

So for Task 6A, I am going to be writing about the feedback that the client has given us through the YouTube comments in terms of suite of idents that we have made for him since the group needed to meet the brief''s deadline. Also, I am going to be analysing the survey results that I have sent out to my intended target audience for the idents that we have made:

1) The success of the product 

In this section, I am going to be talking about the feedback that one of the idents had got from the client in terms of what he thought it and what can been improved exactly.

Here above, it is an screenshot of the comment that was made by the client on the rough cut of the Hands ident where he found it not too bad at all as he liked the animation in the video that was done by Lawrence who was working with the editor James but he did give us some constructed criticism which he felt that if we had to follow the storyboard idea for this particular ident, then it would have been a lot more better. Another thing that he added in this comment is that instead of creating an ident for the channel of CTK TV, we had created an ad for the channel which is not right as in the brief it does say that we are creating idents and not only that, he said the logo of CTK TV needed to be on there for at least for 3 seconds since the audience needed to get the brand recognition while giving them the time to read it so they could be persuade to watch the channel again in the near future.

So in conclusion, this is an fair analysis from the client as we can go and improve the idents on the editing software and make sure that there was no mistakes within the four idents when it does come to the final version when we upload it onto YouTube and putting on their portfolio. 

2) The process of responding to their brief and working with the client

When our and other group had got the Unit 5/32: Working To An Brief and Ident Production brief for the first time while meeting with the client for the first time, we needed to read it carefully as there was work that needed to be done since the deadline was being set for it to be done but while doing this, we needed to make sure that we have meeting with the client in terms of the making the ident for example. 

Stages of Pre-Production

Consultation

At first, we were given the brief that the whole class will be working on in different groups but after looking through the brief and checking to see if there was any concerns of what is required and then we met the client for the first time which David Pearson set the brief as an live one. During this meeting with the client for the first time, we decided to tell the client about our idea for one of suite of idents that we are planning to make for him so it does promote the college by making sure that the audience and students will have good enough reasons to come which he did give us some feedback.

Pitching

Before meeting the client for the second time to pitch our ideas to the camera, we need to make sure that the pre-production work is done so we can put in as a folder so the client can see of what is going to be happening in terms of making suite of idents for the college. This partculair folder of work needs to have:

• Budget
• Production planning
• Possible solutions
• Designs of the ident
• Treatment
• Problems of Heath and Safety
• Resources
• Production

By completing the pre-production work as a group is all good but we need to move on the production side where as a group, we need to decide when we are starting to shoot the suite of idents while getting the equipments and props needed to start the production so the group need to make sure that they will arrive at the location at the right time as well.

Post-Production 

After completing the shooting of four idents, the editor within our group will start to edit the idents by doing the rough cuts of what it does look like without the effects and logos but after getting feedback, then the editor will be able to add into extra parts that are needed within the ident and then export as an mp4 video but we need to consult with the client.

Review and Distribution

Before we can upload it onto YouTube to generate some money through the views, we need to consult with the client to show the videos that we made to promote the college of Christ The King: St Mary's as David Pearson can give us feedback of what changes need to be made within the idents but if there is no changes need to be made and the client is happy with it, then it is possible that we can upload the videos onto YouTube which is a video platform that the target audience of 15-19 years old can see it.

3) The effectiveness of your group organisation

I would say that during the production stage in terms of making these suite of idents for the client, the group's organisation was mostly okay for most of the time as everyone knew what jobs they had to do of what needed to be done since we needed to meet the deadline that was set on Unit 5/32: Ident Production and Working to an Brief although at times, the team did look a little shaky like for example: during in one of Barton's lesson, I had forgot to book out the sports hall and PE Kit before the lesson in which he was slightly concerned about this so myself, Lawrence and Rosie went to the sports hall to see one of the PE staff to see if it was okay for us to film in there and borrow a kit and football as well in which, they said it was ok to do this and return it to them after we had done the filming where we did do this.
