Podcast questions.

What does the role of production designer entail?
They're responsible for the overall look of a production. They start early on, with the director. Many discussions happen between the production designer and the director to do with set, location and so on. 
During a production, which other members of the production and which other areas of the production does the production designer co-ordinate with?
It can depend on the project. They do co-ordinate with the writer as it is sometimes hard to communicate with the director for a number of reasons EG, if he is working somewhere else on another film. 
What issues with locations can occur during the production of a TV drama? 
The director may not approve of some locations. For example, creating the feel of the locations that they actually plan to use. Some properties were also national trust properties, so they couldn't just close the places since they're.  open to the public. They had to work with the national trust, to ensure that the filming is completed in a way that does not cause problems. 
What skills, education and experience is it beneficial for a production designer to have? 
It may be good to go to Art school, and learn about set design, and then go on to learn how to use a camera. It is useful to have a background of this type of education and training as the skills require lots of knowledge. 
During the production process itself, where are the working locations that a production designer tends to work and how do these relate to the actual filming of the TV drama? 
In places such as castles or historic buildings that need to be set up for filming, and it has to be dealt with very carefully to ensure that nothing is broken or damaged that are part of these buildings.

Computer game brief question

How would you complete market research for this brief? One method of effective market research for this brief would be to use a questionnaire. This is because they are quick to design and send out to large samples of people, and when targeting kids, you should want to gain as many of their opinions as possible. They can also be distributed using a number of different ways. Another method of market research that you could use would be to use a focus group. This when the researcher asks a group of people relevant to the research question, and the group will then discuss it and share their opinions with each other while the researcher observes. The advantage is that you are able to generate extra data from the group interaction

Client brief homework

1. The first reason as to why clients write briefs is because it leads to better and more measurable work. This because the brief allows everything else to flow well, meaning that all work can be completed well and up to standard. Without a brief there is essentially no form of guidance as to what needs to be done at each stage. Furthermore, the client brief can also be considered a platform for a communications campaign. 2. The second reason to why client briefs are important is because it saves time and money. This is because it takes longer to find a solution to certain situations without direct instructions on how to do so, this will mean there is a delay on when this solution can be found. A written brief also ensures that there is more chance of getting it right first time, and it minimises wastefulness. 3. The final reason is because of fairer remuneration.  One of the criticisms that people face when marketing from their colleagues in finance and in the boardroom in ge...
