Working to a Brief

Introduction

 
   

In the media industry all projects will originate from some form of brief, however informal. In this section we will look at the brief in more detail, discuss its role and importance in shaping a project and explore the main possible elements.

It is important that you as a producer or designer know what the correct aims and objectives are of the project, whether clearly defined in the initial stages or whether they evolve as the communication process between a client and a producer begins. Advice about defining aims and objectives, identifying contributing factors to producing a successful outcome, teamwork and new technology can be found in this section.
