R097 advice
Topic Area 1
In this section you will be given access to the topic brief. Print off the topic brief and highlight all of the key tasks that you need to do and the key properties of the item that you need to create for the client. This will ensure that you don’t miss talking about any of these points when you are writing your report.
You will also need to produce pre-production idea generation diagrams that you have learned about in section R093 such as a mind map and a mood board that will show your idea process to the person marking your coursework.
Topic Area 2
In this section you will be creating the digital media product. You will need to make sure that you are including all of the things that your client has asked for within your digital media product. Look at the highlighted client brief and consult your original planning documents to make sure that you have included everything that is wanted by the client.
Topic Area 3
In this section you will be reviewing your product. Look back at your highlighted client brief and talk about how you met and implemented all of the parts that you highlighted. You can also discuss what you think you did well and what you might expand upon or do differently if you had an unlimited budget or more time in which to complete the project.
