Contractual

A contractual brief is a type of brief or contract where a media company is employed by the client in order to complete a project within the brief which is set to specific guidelines which the media company must follow. It will be very important for the media company to follow these guidelines and do exactly what the client states within the brief, if they fail to do so this can result in a breech of contract and the company could face legal actions.

Negotiated

 This type of brief will be brought up if the co-operative brief given to the two of more media companies that are competing the project have any issues between themselves about the brief or anything they would like to clear up with the client. Through the negotiations the brief can then be changed in order to suite every party taking part in the production. This could be anything from changing the appearance of the product to changing the products content as well as keeping it to the guidelines set in the brief.

Formal

This this where a media company is given a brief by the client which outlines the product which they are wanting to be made. This brief is very open and only gives enough information to be able to produce the product, any issues or information that the media company would like to go over can be discussed during the negotiations with the client. Both the client and the company employed by them will formally agree on the project and the brief but it cannot always be legally binding.

Informal

  An informal brief is not documented and is usually of the verbal kind. It is where the client and the company which they have employed simply discuss the requirements for the product they will be making and ultimately agrees upon the project.

Commission

This brief is where a large media company will employ an other independent media company to create and produce the product for them, and after the product has been made the larger company may go on to be use the product for an external client who will pay the independent media company for making the product and they could even get a cut of the royalties too. The brief is not negotiated between the company and the client, however is negotiated between the two media companies.

Tender

This is where a client will advertise their brief and a production company will bring together a proposal that they will pitch to the client, there could be multiple pitches to the client from many different companies, so the client will then get the chance to choose the proposal that they think best suits their brief and offer the job to that production company.

Co-operative

Tom Ross

 Within this type of brief there are usually two or more companies that are hired by the client to work to the brief they have written for the specific project they want to be completed. After both companies have received the brief they can then proceed to work together to produce the product. If there is a disagreement or conflict in ideas there can be a negotiated brief in order to resolve these issues.

    Competition    

This is where a client can put their brief out so it can be accessed by all of the different production companies that are participating. It can sometimes been seen as a free competition as each production company will complete the brief and the client can then judge which company has the best project and as an award they have it published.

Contractual

Communication

Contractual would improve your communication skills because you will need to keep in contact with the employer so that you didn’t deviate from the brief. This would make you get in legal problems. When tackling this brief you must stay in contact regularly this can be done using; email, text, phone call, what’s app, snapchat, twitter, Facebook. All these would be acceptable for a communication update. This would work in any project type however it would be more productive with a movie or music video because

Time Management

It would improve your time management because you would have to stick to the brief as it would have a time limit. This would sometimes add pressure to your work as you are trying to not be late with the work. Ways in which you could do correct this is using production schedules or a time plan where you know what you are doing each week. These schedules can be edited and changed to what you are doing but the more you change it the longer the work takes to get completed.

Technical Skills

This would improve your technical skills because you would have to use word Photoshop and other software like these to make the work more professional. If you didn’t have any of these you would be doing the work for a long time because you would have to use other less updated software and your work would take longer and look worse. Also I would get as much practise as you could in these software so you know what you’re doing and you’re not constantly trying to figure things out when making your final product.

Career Progression

This would help with your career because when you produce a final product that meets or exceeds the brief then you will get good credit and your name will be passed on to other people because they know you do a good job. This type of brief could be handy because in the contract you could ask them to promote your company or team and then you will get more work in the future.
