Task 1 Research

Task 1.


Contractual

A contractual brief is the legal document made between a client and the employee. The brief is to outline the duties which the company must perform and how they organize the work. A contractual agreement is legally binding and the conditions which are outlined within it must be followed. 

The communication performed in this contract would usually be between a media production company and a client looking to have a product produces or advertised. Time management would be very important varying on what the project which the client is looking to have produced. Like all media projects having some high level of technical skills is important as it allows for the production company to make a good product which is clear to the brief provided as well as being able to satisfy the employer. Briefs like this aren't generally used to progress someone in their career as they would usually already have a successful career.

Informal

An informal agreement is a verbal agreement made between two people at meetings etc but has no legal enforcement. This is done between a client and an employer in which they will come to a general agreement on some of the details of the contract 


The communication performed in this contract would usually be between two workers who are discussing business ideas, this would make it a highly useful skill to have. Time management would be very important varying on what the project which the client is looking to have produced. Like all business projects technical skills are fairly important as it allows for the production company to make a good product which is clear to the brief provided as well as being able to satisfy the employer. Briefs like this aren't generally used to progress someone in their career as they would usually already have a successful career.


Formal

A formal brief is a document outlining what a client wants a company to achieve.It occasionally changes due to other requirements, it is more of a "relaxed" type of brief to be conducted between a client and employer.


The communication performed in this contract would usually be between a media production company and a client looking to have a product produces or advertised however certain things within the brief can be changed if needed. Time management would be very important as the product would need to be completed within the time limit. Like all media projects having technical skills is important as well as it allows for the production company to make a good product clear to the brief provided. Briefs like this can be used to progress someones career as they may be starting their own production company.



Competition 

A competition brief is made in order to have access to all production companies participating in a project or product. Each of the companies create their own brief outlining their own ethos. All of the finished product are compared and the most impressive is the one which gets used.

Communication skill would be one of the most vital things there is in a competition brief, this is because each separate company needs to know exactly the same amount of information so they have a fair chance to make the product. Time management would also be extremely important as the production companies would only ave a set amount of time in which to complete the project as well as the fact that they are competing against other companies and would need to prove themselves to be the best. Technical skills would be one of the more important factors to have in mind on this type of brief as the project would need to be better than the other companies they're competing against. Career progression would also be a part of these briefs as the winning company would be more known and trusted by the employer.

Negotiated

In a negotiated brief the client and employer will come to an agreement in the project's brief. This is almost identical to a formal agreement however both sides are able to give input towards the brief.

Communication skills are the most important factor of a negotiated brief as both the employer and the production company would need to have a strong line of communication with the employer as they must decide the terms of the brief together so they're both satisfied. Time management isn't as important here as they can discuss whether there will be more time needed or less. Technical skills is another which is of course important but not as important as communication skills. Career progression is something which would be used as someone who wants to progress their career would perform these types of briefs in order to make the best product they can to get a better reputation.

Tender

In a tender brief a client produces an advertisement which states they are looking for a media product to be made. Potential employers like a production company will begin a brief; budget and a proposal which is pitched to the client. The best pitch idea is then chosen by the client.

Communication is important as the company which has placed the advertisement would need to have a clear idea of what they are looking for, as well as the companies whom would need to create a highly convincing and detailed pitch to the company. Time management would be very important as the companies interested would need be able to create an effective pitch in the given time for the employer. Technical skills are highly important as the employer isn't looking for a specific company, they are looking for a good company to provide them with a brief etc in competition with any other interested production companies. This form of brief is a good way for people to get themselves a good reputation and progress their career. 



Co-operative

A co-operative brief is when multiple  production companies are employed to work on a single brief, which is completed in unison as a team project towards a deadline to satisfy the client.

With this kind of brief communication is one of the most vital things as multiple companies would need to communicate together and to their workers to create the finished project/ product. Time management is also crucial as each company needs to be working within the timeline in order to make sure the project is completed on time. Technical skills aren't too important as there are multiple companies working on the one project, so as long as each company is well skilled in the area they are working on then the finished project will be to a good quality. Career progression wouldn't be used too much as the companies will be working as a team and therefor no one person would be able to enhance their career from it.  
 
Commission

A commission brief is made by a large corporation like the Sunday times. They employ an independent company to create their project for them, this type of brief is negotiated between two media companies instead of being with an external client.



Communication would be a fairly important factor of a commission brief as the two companies involved would need to constantly communicate to discuss their progress and ideas. Time management is important in a commission as the company doing the work must have the project completed for the other company to use either urgently or very soon after the completion date, since these companies tend to be very large and successful it is important that they maintain an efficient workflow. Technical skills are important as one large company is working closely with another, if one of the companies didn't have good technical skills then the finished project wouldn't be to a good standard and gain a fairly big hit to their reputation. In cases like this no one of the companies involved would be able to advance their career from this, they would simply benefit the company.
