Understanding the requirements of working to a brief.
BRIEFS:
A brief/project is a strict set of guidelines that someone has to follow. They are instructions given to a person for them to complete. Being commissioned is to be hired by someone or some company to work for them, or to write for them. You may or may not be payed to do so. In regards to the media, the term 'Tender' means that you are trying to get people to hire you so you can work for them. You could also respond to a brief by entering into a competition, they always require strict guidelines and requirements. There are many different kinds of briefs, one of which is: Competitions. Here is a brief for the E-Sting competition.
http://estings.e4.com/terms.html
READING A BRIEF:
When reading the ESting animation brief, there were certain things that I had to do and had to add in my ESting. Things that were required to be included are: It had to be stop-motion animation, it had to be ten seconds long, the ESting must use soundtracks that have been provided to us, and the E4 logo must be included in the ESting animation somewhere. In order to meet these requirements, we had to do very specific things, for example. In order to reach ten seconds, we had I had to take 120 pictures. In order to make it stop-motion, I had to take a photo of my self, then move ever so slightly to the next position, and then take another photo, I did have help because I was the actor in my video and I could not have taken the photos and act at the same time. In the brief (Picture above) it states that you must use the soundtracks that have been provided for us. There were many different soundtracks to choose from and they were provided to us by the college files.Finally, the E4 logo had to be in the animation, we were only allowed to use the logo in this video only. I used the logo at the end of my ESting.

NEGOTIATING A BRIEF:
Because this is assessed work and there are strict guidelines for the E4 ESting competition, nobody was able to negotiate the brief. Although we did have the choice of what we were to put into the videos. In the media industry when you are negotiating a brief, you will need to make sure that you have the same sort of ideas as the person you are negotiating with, this is so you do not have further problems in the future. You may encounter many different constraints when responding to a brief such as budget problems and having trouble finding actors. Those were not a problem for me but I did have one problem in which I had trouble with editing and this set me back a few hours. I did make changes to my final project because it was not fully completed and I had to complete my editing. I added an explosion to my video to make it more appealing and interesting to the audience. Sometimes people cannot come to negotiate a brief and people will leave projects due to differences such as people not having the same ideas or there may be some kind of feud between people in the work place. So actors, writers, directors and other members of these projects could potentially leave, and most of the time they will try to get their names removed from the projects as well. People who have left a project because of differences are directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord, from the upcoming Han Solo movie. They left the project mid development due to creative differences and they could never agree and what would work and what wouldn't. "Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented film-makers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it's become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we've decided to part ways." - Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm president.
OPPORTUNITIES:
People usually respond to a brief for many things but brief are most popular among competitions, they will get work and experience for doing these and even if they so happen to win, they maybe even get noticed within the media industry. I have found out that filming stop-motion animation is harder that I originally thought and it requires a lot of patience. I learned how to edit a bit better and I have also learned how to create stop-motion animations properly. I did have to multi-skill because I had to film, act and direct the video. Because I worked mostly independently during this project I made most of the contributions to the brief, everything that you see in the final product was my idea and filmed by me. In the media industry if you get a lot of recognition, you are more likely to be someone who other producers and directors will want to work with. For example, in the media industry, Actor Samuel L. Jackson and director and writer Quentin Tarantino have worked together for 20 years over 5 films. Their first film they worked on together was Pulp Fiction, which is what Samuel L. Jackson is perhaps best known for.

ESting evaluation.
STEP 1:
Create your own user feedback survey
STEP 2:
For my animation project I want to review it by making a written report. Reasons for this are as follows: Firstly I do not like oral presentations, I'm not a confident speaker and I do not like standing in front of large crowds and speaking aloud. Secondly audio commentary is not a great way of conveying a review of something, so I would not do something like that.
After I had created my ESting my teacher had uploaded it to YouTube. At the moment this is the only place my animation has been shown/exhibited. There are only a select few who have been sent the video as they needed to complete my survey. If I have wanted to show it to a wider range of people I would have posted the video to Facebook and other social media websites. If my ESting gets entered into the competition and somehow gets put on TV, that will be a great way to show off my project.
For my feedback I created a survey, below you will see all of the questions I asked in my survey, and all of the responses that I have received. The criteria for my survey is the following: Genre & audience, content & narrative, style, characters, techniques, aesthetic qualities, and creative abilities. The overall reaction of my ESting and judging by my survey results, most people liked it and posted good feedback, at the same time there were a few people who did leave some constructive criticism.
Questions Used:
1) Age, Gender and Profession - I had a large range of different ages and professions. None of the people who watched the ESting were within my age group for what I planned my ESting. The age group I wanted was ages 10 to 12.
2) Rate ESting out of 10 - Everyone who responded to the survey had to give a rating out of ten. Out of 15 results, the average rating for my ESting came to 7.5.
3) Genre of ESting - In my survey, I asked people what genre my ESting was. I gave them many options to choose from. The genre for my video is action and comedy.
4) Is the narrative clear and understandable? - The majority of people who answered my survey thought that the narrative was clear and understandable. I believe 2 people who took the survey did not think that the narrative was clear and understandable.
5) Style of animation - Everyone selected the stop-motion animation. The whole class had to do this style of animation because that is what was stated in the brief. It was obvious that the video was stop-motion animation but as part of the brief we had to ask this question.
6) Age group - My age group for my ESting is ages 10-12. I had a variety of different answers for this question. The majority of people who took my survey said that my age group was 10-12, closely followed by people saying that the age group was 13-15 year olds.
7) Do you like the characters used? I only used 2 characters throughout my ESting, I used myself as the main character, and a LEGO monster that I filmed in front of a green screen and made him large. People who answered the survey said they like the character that were used however there was 2 people who said they would rather see new or different characters.
8) Did the animation run smoothly? I personally believe that my animation ran smoothly, most of the respondents agree that the animation was smooth but there was 1 person who did not think this.
9) What was aesthetically pleasing to you? I had a whole bunch of different answers to this question. My ESting did not have many colours but did have a lot of special effects and editing involved. Such as making the LEGO monster huge and making him look scary. I also added in a large explosion when I punched the LEGO monster.
10) Was the ESting creative and unique? I think that green screening a LEGO monster into my video was a creative idea. I do agree with some of the respondents as they said that it was both creative and unique. However a few people have said that the idea was probably not unique and to a certain extent, I do agree with what they are saying because there are things that are similar to this in other existing movies and videos.
STEP 3:
In creating my ESting, I did come across one constraint/problem. This was when I was editing the explosion effect and transition and when I added it into the editing system, the explosion had a black background behind it and it very difficult to remove it. To resolve this problem, I submitted my current work unfinished, then the whole class watched it and gave me feedback on what went well and what I needed to improve. The majority of the class said there needed to be more effects within the video. So afterwards we had a week to go back to make any changes we needed to make. During that time, I added an explosion to the part in which I punched the LEGO man. We had to use a soundtrack that was already provided for us, if we used any other soundtrack we would have broken the rules of the competition and our video would get a copyright strike and then the video would not be allowed into the competition.
In terms of filming I managed my time very well and I managed to film everything and still had enough time to film. But when it came to editing my animation, I did not manage to complete it all within the initial time limit because of the explosion effect problem.
The ESting I made has met the requirements of the brief. During pre production and also during filming I made sure that the animation was going to be 10 seconds long, and is stop-motion animation.
I gained feedback by creating and sending out a survey to my friends and family. The answers and responses to my survey were all serious and there were no jokes being made. All of the feedback I take into consideration so that if we ever do this again I know what I can improve. I like getting feedback because then I have the knowledge to make changes.
I feel that I have learned A lot about the different types of animations and also a lot on how to make stop-motion animation. I however did not like working to a brief because this restricted my ideas and creativity, and so this meant I could not create what ever I wanted but had to follow strict guidelines and rules.
Knowing that working to a brief is commonplace in the media industry I don't think I would like it too much, but I do enjoy expanding on ideas that are already given to me so it would not be a problem therefore I think I could potentially be a suitable candidate.
For me I did like the animation topic, but I do not think it will be right for me as filming things like stop-motion animation is tedious in my opinion and it could potentially get boring very quickly.

Screenplay Research Dossier.
Research Dossier.
Competition:
The competition I would like my 10 minute short screenplay to be entered into is known as BlueCat Screenplay. The requirements for my screenplay to be entered into the competition are the following: All submissions must be original, all entries must be in English (or subtitled in English for film submissions.), shorts films must be between 1-50 minutes, all script entries must be uploaded in PDF format, and finally, all films must be produced after January 1st 2018.
Annotated Script:
Examples of existing scripts with:
Good character development:
This is a scene from Star Wars: A New Hope, in which a character known as Han Solo is having an argument with an alien called Greedo. At the end of the argument he quickly shoots Greedo without thinking twice and without a care. This shows good character development because Han can go from a talkative guy, some a ruthless killer with no care in the world. At the end it says that he slips the bartender some coins as he leaves and apologizes for the mess. This shows how smooth he is and that he thinks is incredibly cool.
Good use of dialogue:
This scene is from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. This is good use of dialogue because it shows how Anakin went from the light side to the dark side and has given up everything that he has ever known and everyone he has ever loved. He even strangles Padme with his force choke, and this also shows how he doesn't care about anyone or anything anymore. Obi-Wan Kenobi is trying so hard to convince him to change his ways but he is unsuccessful. All of which eventually leads into them fighting to the death.
Good use of scene direction:
This scene is from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In this particular scene there is a lot of good scene directions and scene descriptions. There is a lot of description of Rey's surroundings and everywhere else she visits. This is good use of screen direction because it gives the viewer a really good idea of where she is and what she may be looking at.
Examples of ten minute shorts, and why I like them:
This 10 minute short is called 'Ticker'. It is made by the company known as RSA USA, INC. It is directed by Joe Carnahan. I chose this 10 minute short because I believe that this piece has a well written script and really good screen play. In Ticker, someone has been tasked to deliver a top secret briefcase to a military base. Throughout the film you wonder what is inside this case, but nothing is revealed. What I like even more about this screenplay is that you are led to believe that this briefcase contains something like a bomb, or a dangerous weapon of some description. But at the end of the film, the man carrying the briefcase was actually delivering a human heart, that was going to be used for a heart transplant to save a president so that the country would not go to war. On top of this there were opposing militant forces trying to stop them from delivering the briefcase, doing everything they can to stop them.
This is called 'Validation'. This short film is about a man who gives free parking to everyone and in doing so he gives everyone compliments to make them smile. I like the screenplay of this short because even when the police try to stop him, he just goes and gives them compliments and they stop trying to tell him off and they begin to laugh and smile. The story is also really well written because he always wants to make everyone he meets smile but he meets this one girl who would never smile and he tries everything in his power to get her to. Eventually he does and there is a happy ending.
Audience Research:
For my audience research I have created a survey asking people what they think of my idea and have asked them if they would like to see this film be made, I have also asked them their own opinions of my idea. Here is the survey and the results:
Create your own user feedback survey
Theme, Location and Character:
The theme of my ten minute short is going to be about conflict between two guys. This conflict will start because this class bully has stolen a gift and the only way to get it back is for the protagonist to ask out the girl of his dreams and for her to say yes, all before the end of the college day. I have looked into many different films that have bullies in them and I have based my bully off a few of these. For example: Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter franchise was one of my inspirations because he has a hatred for Harry and they are always arguing/fighting. This made perfect sense because The bully in my film also hates the main protagonist. I also looked at The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Greg's brother, Rodrick, is a bully in this film because he is always picking on Greg and is always teasing him and his friends. I also looked at the bully called Flash from the first set of spider man films, I believe that he looks like a typical bully and would fit well into my ten minute short. For my bully I thinking of creating him to have the physique of Flash, but not as aggressive. The bully will act and behave a lot like Rodrick from diary of a wimpy kid. In terms of location, I will be filming this film in and around East Norfolk Sixth Form College. I will also film in a shop and also a diner or some kind of restaurant.
Existing media texts:
I have had some inspiration for my ten minute short, it is not completely an original idea. My idea is highly based off 'The Diary of a Wimpy Kid'. All of the story is completely different but the setting, concept and ideas are very similar. For example: In the film the protagonist known as Greg is just an ordinary boy who doesn't think he is very special and this is what my protagonist thinks in my film. Secondly, my protagonist is trying to ask out the girl he loves and in diary of a wimpy kid this is the same concept. Greg really likes this one girl and wants to ask her out. There is also a bully in the film, although the bully in my film will be a class mate of the protagonist and in diary of a wimpy kid, the bully is Greg's brother. But they both teasing the main characters and bully them all day and whenever they can. My ten minute short is going to be college romance/comedy and the diary of a wimpy kid has this same theme.

Improvement from feedback
There is not anything in my Esting that I want to change, but based off the feedback that I have received from my classmates, I do need to add some sort of effect, like an explosion, to the death of the Lego man. And I will also need to make the transition to the E4 logo a lot smoother and aesthetically pleasing.
Draft Esting:

10 minute short ideas.
1: Back in high school it was a very windy day and my friend and I were walking down to the canteen to get a drink and my friend was drinking a Capri Sun. He began to tease me as I was incredibly thirsty and I hadn't got a drink but he did. Then the wind took his Capri Sun right from his hand and he chased it all the down the playground. For this idea I am going to make it so he goes on a incredible journey to retrieve this lost Capri Sun.
Name: Trials of the Capri Sun.
2: On the news people have got to countries such as Syria to help out but have been unfortunately kidnapped. My idea is that a medical worker has gone to assist troops out in a war-torn country, and on the way to the military camp is then taken. Special forces then have to go and find this medical worker to save him/her.
Name: Stolen
3: My final idea is going to be based off the TV show called 'The Office'. It is going to be about a boy who wants to ask out this girl he really likes. During this time he has to ask out the girl on a date. He will be filmed along with his other weird class mates during his day at college.
Name: The College.

Research and Planning: Designing an ESting
The ESting competition requires very specific entry requirements. Here are some of the things you must do, and some of the things you mustn't do: You cannot show anything explicit content. It must be exactly ten seconds long. You must have a public YouTube or Twitter account. It must have the E4 logo in it and the URL for the video has to have #EStings2017.
For my final ESting I am going to be using stop-motion animation with Lego and have a small amount of human animation added into the mix as well.
Idea:
My idea is to have a lot of Lego people fighting against a human. At the end of the fight the human gets defeated and explodes into the E4 logo. The audience that my idea is aimed towards is the younger audiences and both genders. The genre this idea falls into is action. My Esting is going to be targeted towards the younger audiences because it is going to be comedic. Judging by who the main viewer of E4 is, the Esting is going to be mainly seen by female viewers, but this will be aimed towards both genders. The Esting is going to be set in and around the college, there won't be any other location where it will take place. The outside areas of college and the corridors are going to be used the most.
Characters:
Name - The LEGO monster.
Description - This LEGO monster is a giant LEGO being that is attacking innocent people. Made up from different LEGO characters, something that hasn't been seen before. The monster's dramatic motivation is simply to kill, it has only known one thing and that is to attack and destroy everything it sees.
Name - Boy
Description - 18 year old student, who isn't scared of anything.
Soundtrack:
In my ESting, we had to use specific soundtracks that have been provided to us to use by the college and also the E4 competition brief. We have to stick to what the brief says and that means we have to use a soundtrack that has been given to us and one that we have special permission to use. The sound track I will be using for my ESting is called HARDCORE1.
