In this task you will provide evidence of you meeting with the client to clarify the purpose of the work.


Client Meeting with Craig Beattie 20 th November 2015

Brief to make a promotional college video.

Target audience - this will be aimed at school children ages 14,15,16 but appeal to parents as well.

Video duration – The duration of this video will be approximately 2 or 3 minutes long, but no longer.

Main Focus – The main focus of this video will be mostly inside the college, it will show clips of all subject areas, facilities and there will also be interview about the college. Also clips of students discussing their favourite subject and activities outside subjects.

Content – In this video there will be no long clips such as interview, it will be snappy and fast, so the parents can see more information about the college in this short 3 minutes video.

Music – There will be no preference in music for this video, it will be simple and a bit quick to give the feeling that the video is going quick and that the college is adventurous.

Motto – Using college colours will help the viewer get more hints that they are the college they were looking for. It will be animated if possible so it would attract the viewer attention. Show text “fantastic facilities” and will involve amazing results to show them how the college can make everyone succeed.

Voiceover – The voiceover will be either female or male, it will give details about the college and the courses.

Slogan – The College do not have one but you can make one up to show Craig. If Craig likes it he will sign it off.

Theme - The theme will be modern.

The video may include a link to social media in the video.

It will contain more visual than caption, this is so the viewer can get more idea and see what the college is like.

It will also contain clips showing around outside of college instead of just inside, so the viewer know what it’s like outside.

College Logo will be used at beginning and ending of the video, this is to show that the video is about that specific college.


The font can be any but I will use bold font so the viewer get attracted to what its say.

I would use transition in to show a few clips quicker so the viewer can see more about the college in this short video.

The video will be completed by 11th the December.

Coming back on 30th November to review this video.
