shot of the bus 

ellie is main character


black and white depth of field 


Treatment

starts black and white with diagetic sounds only (bus etc...)

1- out of bed

2- brushing teeth 

3- eating breakfast 

4- packing bag (water bottle) and school book 

5- "bye mum"

6- train or bus shot

7 - far out shot of girl walking to school

8 -buys water from canteen  

- this boring black and white morning routine (with diagetic sound) is repeated many times and gradually shots decrease in length. 

- then the shot slows down again (once boring routine is recognised) and instead of reachoing for water the girl notices a new drink and out of curiosity tries it.

- camera zooms onto the can being opened (this is heard through diagetic sounds in the setting) 

- she takes a sip

- the girl suddenly beaks the 4th wall and cheesily turns her head in a campy retro style with her eyes wide and the music plays.

- suddenly the funky music starts and she becomes a retro neon brightly coloured eccentric looking gal.

- the routine is repeated now with extremely  funky music. There's more energy in the gal and she's more confident walking in da streets.

- shot of girl jumping up cheesily with the drink


- music 

 

no makeup for boring routine

hair in ponytail 

music should appeal to the nicher retro audience instead of a mainstream audience




Legal and ethical issues 

My production team are planning an instagram post, bus poster, poster and tv ad for 'Fizz Wizard'. The range of crossmedia advertisements is key in targetting the range of audiences (retro and young audience in particular).

The ethical issues involved in the tv ad include the timing of which the advertisement will air. The content of tv advertisements is regulated by the ASA, and certain standards are expected, to determine whether or not it will air pre watershed. The watershed time (9'oclock) is not a legal standard, but rather an ethical one that is put in place by the ASA to regulate the content exposed to the public. We need to make sure that our ad abides by the ethics that allow for a pre watershed tv ad (considering the range of ages we're targetting). Without a prewatershed advert, we will miss the majority of  under 18 potential consumers of our product. Our ad must not have sexual content, nudity, foul language or any references to drug and alcohol consumption. 

Aside from ethics in regard to the watershed time, we have to make sure that none of our advertisements contain any kind of discriminatory stereotypes, homophobia, racism, sexism and ageism. Ethically we must include a diverse range of people, and avoid misrepresentation of minorities. 

For the Television advertisement, we must make sure our soundtrack (music and sound effects) adhere to copyright laws, in order to avoid legal interventions (copyright claims) and ethical problems (stealing other peoples work without giving them financial credit). We must make sure either, we've payed for the royalties for the music and sounds in our advert, or use royalty free music. 

Our poster, instagram post and bus poster images and videos must be filmed in locations legal to film in. Some locations (for example St Pauls Cathedral) require permission or fees in order to film outside/ inside. In which case we have to make sure (legally and ethically) that we've payed appropriate fees and received appropriate permission to film and take photos in specific locations. 

For the instagram post, tv ad, bus poster and poster, it's essential that our video footage and photos are primary (taken by our production team) instead of stolen from someone else. Legally, this will result in copyright claims unless the videos and photos published are royalty free or stock photos. Ethically, not adhering to copyright laws is disrespectful to artists who've spent their own time, money and talent taking their photos and videos. 

Making sure we conform to the sugar tax laws in the uk is a legal and ethical issue, in order to prevent breaking the law, and for the wellbeing and health of the country and our consumers. If our product goes over 8g of sugar, we legally will be taxed extra, and have to charge more in order to gain the same profit. To get around this issue, we will make sure 'Fizz Wizard' is under that 8g of sugar, and well under the recommended daily amount of sugar for children and adults. In order to keep our strawberry lace drink sweet and tasty, to compensate for the lack of sugar, our product will contain some alternative natural sugars.

Market Researcher jobs in advertising 


What is a Market Researcher’s job, and what are their responsibilities?


  • A market researcher’s job is to research and analyse data in relation to a specific market. This is a crucial job in an advertising agency, as this information is then used as evidence presented to clients.

  • Market research in an advertising agency is presented to clients (brands seeking professional advertising), to provide information and evidence relevant for decision making. These decisions include advertising and marketing strategies, especially relevant to the target audiences, and of course taking into account competitors in the same market. 

  • While market research can never guarantee success, or linear answers for choosing advertising strategies, it can help brands reduce uncertainty surrounding decisions being made. 

  • Therefore, the types of market research analysed and presented is essential for advertising agencies to acquire clients to work with. This is a big responsibility. 



What skills and qualifications are required in order to become a market researcher?


  • Strong mathematical,technological, analytical and economic skills are required for this job, including the ability to create and understand graphs, tables, percentages and statistics. 

  • Problem solving and  interpretative skills  are also essential. When analysing data, it’s required for a market researcher to be able to question the meaning behind the data, and formulate an interpretation accessible and relevant in creating a plan for an advertising campaign. 

  • `A sociological and psychological understanding, with an interest in behavioural science is also helpful. Market researchers have to understand why the data generates certain results, and how human behaviour is associated.


  • There are no required qualifications like you’d see in jobs like being a doctor, however of course some may be helpful. 

  • Qualifications in maths, chemistry, physics, computer science, economics or engineering could be attractive qualifications, proving skills in mathematical, economic an data related areas.

  • Qualifications in Psychology, anthropology, sociology and philosophy can also be an advantage, confirming an understanding in human behaviour.

  • Of course business, marketing and media qualifications are an advantage too. 




Professional and personal behaviours and attributes required to be a market researcher.

Sensible, professional conduct and good manners are essential in the workplace for this job, in the office and during meetings with clients. These behaviours include, avoiding the use of foul language, having spacial awareness (not being too loud or invading colleagues personal space), and a general maturity. Maturity in this context could translate as, making sure you listen to other ideas in a meeting, avoiding conflict/ arguments, keeping private lives private, and focussing on work.

Punctuality and organisation is vital in working in an advertising agency as a market researcher. Turning up to meetings and work on time is essential in keeping your job, to avoid wasting people's time, and to keep the professional image of the agency clean to clients, who may be put off b such disorganisation.
Organisation in general is an important attributes of a market research job in an advertising agency. A market researcher must keep on top of files, folders, timetables and meetings, and be able to know where the essential files are. Being able to print out and have relevant files and documents open and printed out on time is a must for this job, especially to avoid clients waiting for too long and becoming inpatient.
