Studio Brief 01 - Responsive - Overview - Individual Practice - Brief considerations

The task:

Looking at a variety of creative briefs and then choosing the ones that best reflect the interest of practice and informed by our own professional ambitions. 

Main Brief
                     

DN&AD - 22/03/2017
                                                        

Overview 

Fur for animals - Respect for animals educational trust 

Why? 

I believe strongly in this campaigns motivations in the ethical treatment of animals and I think I can represent what the campaign is asking for.

Brief 

Create a piece of online content (video or image) at the heart of a shareable social anti fur campaign for the current age. 

Drive awareness of and followers for Fur for Animals, and spark a conversation. 

How can people be convinced that this is a serious issue? and theres no such thing as ethical fur? once the audience is engaged what can they do to make a difference? 

Audience

Anyone who has bought fur or is thinking of buying fur, Persuade this audience to think, change their minds. The general public, anyone that will listen. 

Module considerations 

  • How do you balance what you want to do, design produce with what the brief requires?
  • Do the briefs offer enough breadth and scope for the development of a range of responses whilst at the same time allowing you to focus on your practice? 
  • What are the realistic timescales for completing the brief? Are you working to these?
  • Have you clearly identified what the problem is before you start?
  • Where is the challenge in the brief and what will you get out of doing?
  • What do you need to present and how will you present it?

Considerations 
  • How can an an online audience be engaged to an issue without high production. Make a large impact with a small budget. 
  • Audience behavior 
  • What makes content shareable? 
  • How can the Internet become aware of an issue "break the internet"? 
  • Give an audience something to take away from experience
  • Make content to share or something that they can make themselves?
  • Consider the problem - audience is far removed from your audiences day to day lives how to make the issue relevant?
  • Communication - sharing, shocking, or education are different ways of communicating with an audience. Look at whats effective in challenging change.
  • Shame or shock? not just being offensive for the sake of it, resonate not alienate
  • Graphic images of suffering are often easily ignored, creating something that people want to watch 
  • Social platforms - social media and using video formats, taking into consideration formats the content can be seen. 
  • Grabbing attention, 3 second window to grab attention
  • does it work without audio? social media feed often plays automatically and the audience chooses whether to watch more with audio.
  • Translating - consider if the campaign is able to communicate to a global audience, look where the fur trade is thriving. How does the content need to adapt? (if it needs to in terms of translation.
  • consider how different social channels are and whats available culturally. 
Research - other campaigns 

Be informed of other animal rights campaigns and the methods used.

How can the problem be explained and be reached across the world?
