SCAMPS Award Evaluation

Concerning the Legal Constraints there was not anything in particular that did not affect legal terms, as such we did not encounter anything in particular that was illegal or did not affect copyright as such we did not steal any images or didn’t use any of the items used in other productions.

Concerning the regulatory and professionalism on the advert, the main problem and perhaps only problem was the confusion with the advert itself. Some of our group got confused as their was some communication problem with the group as we had failed to inform one of our group who was working on the budget aspect of the pitch who had inadvertently based the budget around a film where most of us had done it around a radio advert. This was no fault of his own as we just didn’t inform him of our current situation. When concerning the ceremony itself it went smoothly without so much as a hitch.

Financially speaking there wasn’t much we needed for the advert but building up in the ceremony we were authorised a £100 budget cost to get everything for the ceremony by the college marketing department. The budget for our advert was based off a film advert so naturally the cost would be rather high.

Leadership, there wasn’t any. We followed our own path and only discussed things with each other when needed of course when we needed something done we would work together to achieve it. We each took a section of the advert assignment and despite a little bit of a communication problem we achieved it. Concerning the ceremony itself we communicated but there wasn’t so much in terms of leadership.

Communication and meeting wise, we didn’t hold any meetings of the sort but we did try to communicate but at some point during the confusion on what we were doing it ended in a communication problem as a number of us failed to talk to each other but what we were going to do, in end we focused on our path taking sections of the assignment.

The times were set for the ceremony were at 5:00 o’clock for some of the staff and members of the live team and lighting team to come together and get the equipment ready for the ceremony. At 6:00 o’clock the guests and visitors would arrive so the ushers would need to direct people to their seats. The general outcome of the advent was good, there were little to no problems and those that did occur where of little importance.

The general outcome was significant at best, despite a few short backs mostly during the actual event. It all went well; winning an award for me was nice it was exciting to get one. Whether we would actually get into a professional workplace is difficult to say, I personally do not think we would be able to however with a little bit more planning and communication at a slim chance we may be offered a job in a lower lesser known work place than the major events that occur like the Oscars or BAFTA. But overall I think it all went very well and I hope that others will learn from our mistakes to make a better production than ours.
