1. What the advert is about?
Our advert is based around the creative media
department. If they enrol on the course, we will also
include interviews with staff and students. The advert will
:
• Be 10-15 minutes Long
• Be purely on the Creative Media department
• It will have an interactive feature that will enable users
to interact with the chapters included within the video
• The advert will also try to get the viewers involved

2. Target Audience
• The target audience for our advert will be students of the
ages 16-18
• Who wish to enrol on a creative media course or are
undecided on which course to take
• We want to make sure that everyone from all
races, religions or backgrounds feel welcome to the
college and show that everyone can succeed
• We also want to make sure that the audience know that
teachers are always here and are happy to help you with
any problems you may face on the course

3. What would be in your Production
Team
Firstly, we carried out individual research on 2 different promotional videos for 2
colleges which are the following:
• Cheadle and Marple Sixth Form College and Stockport College.
• We did a brain-storm of the ideas for the digital video for the Creative Media BTEC
course.
• I produced a Gantt Chart/Spreadsheet in order to state the milestones that are
needed to be reached in order to meet the deadlines
• I then researched into the understanding of the target audience in relation to the
Creative Media digital video.
• I then constructed a questionnaire on the course itself
• We did a script for the Creative Media digital video
• We created storyboards and sketches

17. Cast and Crew
The cast and crew will consist of a few people mainly
being Shaun and Ben who will conduct interviews and
show the audience around the department, a few
teachers will also appear in the advert along with a few
students that will be there to conduct the interviews
with or to help in showing of the many things that go
on in the department. The camera man will have to be
a teacher or student that we can get a hold of as in
some parts Shaun and Ben will both be on set at one
time.

18. Budget
The budget is something we would be concerned with
if we were doing an advert with our own funds but
since the college has everything that we need such as
camera’s, computers with the right software etc. then
we do not really need to set any type of budget but I
will do one going off if we actually were to buy
everything;
