Analysing the Briefs

I started off by doing basic brainstorms and analysing the briefs in my sketchbook, of my short list, which then helped me narrow my descisions down to two, ready to present my ideas in London next week:






Sega:

Keywords in the brief -
Video game
Sonic
Gaming history
Gamers
Iconic video game
Rank Number 1
20th Anniversary
Celebrates  /  is inspired
Classic Sonic fans
6-12 year olds
Boys
Cartoons

• Choice of medium

• Gaming

• Celebration

 My initial ideas for this Brief, would be to create an animation that includes Sonic the Hedge Hog init, with a comic music track in the background. I would change from various different scenes, and have Sonic doing different things in each scene, such as his famous spinning motion.

Prospects to include in the Animation:
Funny
Story/Animatic
Cartoonish
Hand drawn
Colour
Fast cutting
Music
Posters

The Open Uni:

Keywords in the brief -
16-18 year olds
Education
Flexible
Part time
Fits around you
Easy
Degree
Own time
Step by step
Largest higher education Institution
Persuade
Cheaper
Work whilst studying

• Choice of medium

• Slim target audience

• High prospects

My idea for this subject is to make a short film/documentary. I would interview people that have used the Open Uni to get a degree, people who are thinking about starting a course with the Open University and lastly people that are currently under-going a course with the Open University.

Prospects to include in the documentary/film and others :
Informative
Funny
Story
Cutaways
Fast cuts
Life story
Debate on fees rising within real university
Posters
Billboards
