Entry 3

I completed on the tasks that were in-front of me today and now i can complete my pitch that is in for next week. I also hope to hear back from "The Angel" sometime in the week!

Proposal

My Proposal

I Kieran Grady will produce a ten-minute video point to promote a local restaurant/pub called " The Angel". The restaurant is located in Larling. It is an old-fashioned style restaurant that excels in quality food but mainly Norfolk based which makes it unique and is in a great area. The Programme will be aimed at people who enjoy going out for food or people who possibly have an interested in a traditional Norfolk based menu. It will be informational about the building and will provide evidence of why it is very successful.

The whole video will take place at the restaurant.

The production process will follow what happens in the restaurant. From when you first enter the pub all the way through to the dining room of the building. Then I will attempt to get footage of the work, which happens behind the scenes in the kitchen. I will hopefully be able to show what the vibe and feeling is within the building. 

It will begin with the outside of the building which is surrounded by fields and also sometimes has some classic cars outside and hopefully I can be lucky and go on a day which there are.

I think I will have nice and cheerful music playing when not interviewing but I have still not fully made up my mind.

I hope to use interviews in my production. As I know the manager personally, if I get his permission to go a head with the production, I hope to interview him about how the pub runs but also interview members of the staff such as chefs, waitresses and if I feel I need to, I will try and get an opinion of a customer on how they felt the experience went. I think all of these would fit well with the rest of the production and I think this are a main priority.

I still haven't fully arranged what equipment I am going to use for the production but the editing software will be Premiere Pro. But I am confident to have this fully arranged when I a ready to start the production. 

Initial Research

Initial Research- task 1

Production management- This refers to operations and control of an industrial process in order to make sure the production runs smoothly to a good standard. It runs in a number of fields. The main things consist of managing the money side of the production and the organization skills of the production. These are serious challenges for the person who is in charge of the production and many other things can.

Corporate and promotional programme production- Compared to advertising production, corporate and promotional programme productions advise people and try and tell the person what exactly something is and what it does. While on the other hand, advertising tries to sell something.  They gain profit form this.

Social action and community media production- first of all the main difference from this and Corporate and promotional programme is that production is that these productions don’t gain any money for there work.

Reflection: I was highly surprised by the importance of these 3 different production methods. I understand that my task and goal is to produce a production management for the client. In this case the owner of “The Angel” in Larling. I think creating a short production film for a small business would work well for both parties, as I would gain great understanding of how things like these activities happen in the media industry. But also I think I could make a great high quality promotional video for an independent company. I understand that to make such a good video, I would have to do a fair bit of research and I have already gained information on the business I hope to promote. I have gained images of the building, have tried and contacted the owner and have also found out important details of the menu and activities that happen there. I think that this project will test me and will bring the best out of my ability in editing, research, filming, and productive work. 

Ideas For final Major Production

 Ideas For final Major Production


1st Idea: There is a local paintball site near where i live. I think that this would possibly be a great place to do a promotional video. The site has a lot of different activities apart from just paintball so if they didn't need a video of just the paintball features so if i was not to promote the whole site i could do just one feature.

The Basic idea: The Basic idea would be to promote the site which is based in Thetford. I would go round with a go pro camera and hopefully film the action while its taking place. I would then hopefully be able to talk to the people who work there, some of who i know very well. Then also show every type of game that is played there and all the facts about the site.

The client: The owner of the site and the company

Potential issue: As I would have to take quite expensive equipment onto a combat site, there could be a risk that they could be damaged. I hope to cover the cameras and protect them if i was to promote the site.

The potential audience: people who perhaps have never really given paint balling a chance. Or people who may be scared of it.


2nd idea: Where i live, there is a pub/ restaurant called The Angel. It is a very old fashioned pub but serves great food at reasonable prices. Its a average size so there are many rooms i could film in. I know the owner so i think if the paintball idea was not to happen, this would be a great back up.

The Basic Idea: I would get shots of the whole building and hopefully get footage of the kitchen when the restaurant is in full swing. That way, the footage i get would be the best example of the work that happens there. I would also interview the Manager and talk to members of the staff. I think all this would blend well together.

The Client: The manager of the pub

Potential issue: I could be turned down.

The Potential audience: People who enjoy going out for meals in rural restaurants but possibly people who don't and my video production could persuade them to try it.


 3rd Idea:  I have thought about contacting my driver instructor if my two other ideas were to fall through. I think together we could do a short video production on driving basics and also promote him as a very good teacher.

Basic Idea: I would get footage of the car driving in and outside the car. I would get him to give details of his business and the basics of what you get from learning from him so he can try and promote himself on my video.

The client: The Driving Instructor

Potential issue: It might be hard to get the shots i want when in the car and the car is being driven. He might also not being comfortable with the idea of expensive equipment being used while someone is driving the car as it might distract them and might cause a crash.

The Potential Audience: People who are looking to learn to drive.
