Assignment 2

Planning for

Production

By Mansour Ahaidi

Determine the requirements of

the brief

City Of Westminster College had annual events for the student

awards to celebrate the achievement throughout the year. This

year the principle of the college gave the BTEC Level 3 students

an assignment to produce one video for the students awards to

celebrate their achievements throughout the year. The video will

be shown on the last day of the term before their holiday.

David Pigden told the group to create a title sequence with VT

inserts, showing different sections and faculties across City Of

Westminster College.

Queen’s Park

Campus

My group will travel to the Queens Park

Campus and will film the following areas

such as the SLDD Life skills class's, ITC,

food technology and painting and directing

where the students are working in their

class.

The Target Audience

The target audience for the award ceremony in City Of

Westminster College are the 250 people attending the

event. This includes students aged between 16-21,

staff, the governors that are representing the college.

Determine appropriate content and

style for the programme

The student that has won the award. As a group we will film the

student to tell us how they feel winning the City Of Westminster

College award. We will also film their tutors and teachers that know

them very well to tell us about the student’s quality and what was

the reason for winning the City Of Westminster College Award .

Appropriate techniques use in the

production process In City Of Westminster College the website has a section about equality and diversity where they

celebrate every religion and background. In the website they have City Of Westminster College logo

with different colors and that represents multi cultural background of the college, and their support of

LGBT.

In my video I would use the City Of Westminster College logo to represent the college theme. I would

use the logo in the beginning and the end of the video.

I would emphasise the values of City Of Westminster College, which are Ambition, Responsibility and

Respect. I would do this by having the words come up on the video during the title sequence when the

presentation is on, so that the audience can be acknowledge what The City of Westminster College is

about.

City Of Westminster College has a Strategic Aim that the student should be successful in the City Of

Westminster College. I would film the students coming to college smiling with each other. They will

have grades in their hands and will be smiling.

I would promote the culture of continuous improvement, by filming students working hard in the library,

with teacher being available to help them.

To promote equality and diversity, I would film a staff member helping a disabled student by moving

their wheelchair, or guiding them to the class
