Assignment 2
Planning for
Production
By Mansour Ahaidi

2. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 .

7. 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
