RULES:
1) Don't just read from your PPT or from your notes.
2) Have open body language and make eye contact.
3) Use PPT to support your comments, not tell the audience everything.
4) Discuss th following:
        a) Your research - what have you found out
         b) What is the issue and why is it a problem?
         c) How does the issue relate to your target audience?
         d) What did your survey reveal?
         e) Target audience
         f) Initial ideas for your plans
LINK TO THE BRIEF ALWAYS!


Use the template below as well as the list we created in class to present your research and ideas to the class.






Remember to LINK TO THE BRIEF and refer to the client directly (Copyright Heroes).

Below are examples of very good presentations from last year. Use as role models to achieve well in this task.

Analysing existing campaigns

NSPCC campaign (example)

Look at how a company use a number of media texts/products to promote their cause. Here is the NSPCC campaign from a few years ago about reporting any concerns about children sooner.

You can clearly see links between the products, with the same logo, slogan, company name, font type, images, colour scheme and contact info (phone number, website etc) being used on all products.

The poster with Dominic West on also makes use of 'elite person' to encourage the audience to get involved.

The campaign website also features the TV advert and information about the campaign, however it also as extra information and advice and support for the people visiting it. There is still a clear colour scheme and same contact details.









Task

Choose 2-3 campaigns.
Analyse their methods, techniques and successes at creating a linked, cross media product which is aimed at a clear specific audience.
Include screen shots of their websites and TV/cinema adverts (where relevant).
• Use the sheet (below) to guide you if needed

Intellectual property and copyright video

Short film (shown in the lesson) on intellectual property and copyright.

Highly recommend you take the time to watch it again to fully develop your understanding of IP and surrounding issues.




Type of Intellectual property



DESIGN
Registered designs protect the appearance of a product or logo. This can be anything from the design of a chair to a costume in a film.
COPYRIGHT
Whenever you write or record an original idea, it is automatically protected by copyright. For instance, a film script or photograph.
TRADEMARK
Trade marks can be words or logos and are used to show customers who created a goods or service.
PATENT
Patents protect what makes things work – like a 3D mechanism that make a robot move.
