We got a good idea about the play and what it was about, we had a good idea about what they were going to be performing - we also had a good idea about the shots and what we had to do for it.

Example Of A Brief

This media brief is about a competition that is happening - they have set out a good deal of ideas to be involved in. This means that they can compete together to make the prize, the idea of it is good because then it can become a bigger idea, they have completed this brief in a different way to present this and they have chosen the Young Vic Graphic Design Competition, it involves them making a graphic design of the brief and working as a team to do it. this explanation is good because it gives you all the good ideas about the brief and how it works - the team to do it is good, it opens soon and applications are open for the people who want to get involved. The winners are given a £200 pound prize. This is for how they are open for the people and what they want for the winners to get and how the idea can be made.

About Oh My Sweet Land
They call it a civil war, but there is nothing civil in this. Nothing civil at all.

They came from Damascus, from Halab, from Banias where the bombs fall day and night and the wounded children look like sleeping angels. Now they live in camps and abandoned buildings in Lebanon or Jordan. Now Syria is just a distant memory, a home forever lost.
This urgent and extraordinary show explores the crisis in Syria through the stories of its two million refugees. German-Syrian actor Corinne Jaber was last in London with her production of The Comedy of Errors for Shakespeare’s Globe’s World Shakespeare Festival. She has performed with the RSC, in Peter Brook’s Mahabharata and has won France’s prestigious Molière Prize.
Amir Nizar Zuabi (The Beloved, I Am Yusuf and This Is My Brother), founder of Haifa-based theatre company ShiberHur, returns to the Young Vic with this UK premiere.

Working to a brief/types of a brief


Working to a brief:
when working to a brief you have to make sure you follow all the instructions that have been given in the brief. You will be asked to create something in the task and be made to organise as maybe as yourself or as a group. Following the brief is one of the most important things, whilst having the brief there are many different kinds of briefs which involve: contracted, negotiated, formal, informal, commission, competition, tender and co-operative.  These are all important briefs and they all must be followed in this case, in the blogs there must be different ideas on the certain briefs, working to the brief is important because you need to make sure that you are following all the points and that all the targets are being met to the brief.


Contracted:
This is when somebody is completing a project to a certain brief, they have to follow the brief guidelines and must be on point, and they must have the exact details included in the business brief, because otherwise this can cause bad things, and want to avoid this. But this can be changed because it is contracted. This means the brief has to be done to a certain time and can only be used by the people who have made the choice to choose this way the brief can be spoken and talked about and it can also be changed and involved into the production line of the sense and make the rest of the brief sound have had in the little amount of information and little amount of being done in the brief is how work has so well, this is a brief that when things are done very well and in a special way it means that they can then add on to the different subjects that are involved in the contracted brief. The brief can be changed and added on when the different project can be changed to a certain brief. The business brief because otherwise this can cause bad things.

Negotiated:
When a brief is spoken about and can be talked about and it also can be changed very much so much that this issue can be changed, this is why this brief is good because things can be changed if they are needed to be. This is a brief that is quite hard to work with and because of the little amount of information and the little amount of being done in the brief and how the work has been done this means that the brief could change very quickly and not have as a many afterwards, the brief has been made to work like this so they all add in and link well together. The detail that has been given in the brief is that the work they like is easy and very simple and formal. Being simple and formal means that the briefs can be made well and add them all in well together, the detail to this brief has a lot of information, this is concluding the other options that have been added to the detail and how the brief is very lowly detailed and work has be done to the brief and the production in the information special way it means that they can be taken into care and looked after whilst finishing the brief towards and afterwards the brief is a important part of the simple and clever working brief because it can be talked about.

Formal:
This is a brief when things are very simple and formal. The detail in this brief is very lowly detailed and hardly has any information involved in it/only to production. This brief is quite hard to work with because of the little amount of information and little amount being done in the brief and how the work has done. The work done is informal and clever working. Being done this way this means that the brief can link in well together and have a very simple and formal way of detailing something and have a lowly detailed version of the work set in the lesson and how the work has been done in this lesson and the formal things are very simple and formal. This means that the formal idea of the brief can be changed and linked in with the other amount of importance and brief afterwards, whilst finishing the taken parts of the brief afterwards of the finished and completed being simple and information special way it means that they can be taken into care and looked after whilst finishing the brief towards and little any information, the formal and detailed quite hard work this hard work has changed and the different things that are available in the formal ways and detail is very brief and how the rest of the information works and forms, the little amount of being done.

Informal:
This is a brief when things are very simple and formal. The detail in this brief is very lowly detailed and hardly has any information involved in it/only to production. This brief is quite hard to work with because of the little amount of information and little amount being done in the brief and how the work has done. This kind of brief is important because it has to make sense and make the rest of the brief sound appropriate the other sides of the brief. This is also important because the times that we have had in the little amount of information and little amount of being done in the brief is how the work has done well. this is a brief that when things are done very well and in a special way it means that they can be taken into care and looked after whilst finishing the brief afterwards.

Commission:
This kind of brief is when a larger company employs a smaller independent company to complete the project for them and get the work done for them. They then can give the certain percentage of revenue that has come out of the project they have been working through, and how they have been working on it. This is good for the smaller independent company. The interdependent company will have different changes on them and have a smaller dependent company who will make the changes in the work that has been done for them, this is good for the smaller project as they can come together has a bigger group and have a bigger kind of brief and is a open brief. To other companies for them to work on and make progress - they are then judged to a open brief and have whoever has the best they take and make them to the company and they make them work for the company. they can get the percentage of the business and have a great company for the business and understand the company in a much better way to make more of a understanding.

Competition:
This kind of brief is a open brief - to other companies for them to work on and make progress - they then are judged and whoever has the best one they take and make them to the company and they make them work for the company. They can then get the percentage of the business and have a great company for the business and understand the company better. This kind of brief is when a larger company employs a smaller independent company to complete the project for them and get the work done for them. They then can give the certain percentage of revenue that has come out of the project they have been working through, and how they have been working on it.

Co-Operative:
This kind of brief is when two or more companies work together to complete brief from a client, they can be discussing this and how the ideas can be different, and any different conflict between the two different groups can be negotiated and can be talked about and have different support from everybody else. To other companies for them to work on and make progress - they are then judged to a open brief and have whoever has the best they take and make them to the company and they make them work for the company. they can get the percentage of the business and have a great company for the business and understand the company in a much better way to make more of a understanding.


Tender:
This is where a client advertises their brief and multiple companies will pitch a proposal with their ideas for the brief to the client, the client can then pick the company most suited to the brief/offer job to the company because of their good work and how they have done the work well. This kind of brief is a open brief - to other companies for them to work on and make progress - they then are judged and whoever has the best one they take and make them to the company and they make them work for the company.

They then can give the certain percentage of revenue that has come out of the project they have been working through, and how they have been working on it.

Titus Andronicus Script

Romans, make way: the good Andronicus.
Patron of virtue, Rome's best champion,
Successful in the battles that he fights,
With honour and with fortune is return'd
From where he circumscribed with his sword,
And brought to yoke, the enemies of Rome.
Drums and trumpets sounded. Enter MARTIUS and MUTIUS; After them, two Men bearing a coffin covered with black; then LUCIUS and QUINTUS. After them, TITUS ANDRONICUS; and then TAMORA, with ALARBUS, DEMETRIUS, CHIRON, AARON, and other Goths, prisoners; Soldiers and people following. The Bearers set down the coffin, and TITUS speaks
TITUS ANDRONICUS
Hail, Rome, victorious in thy mourning weeds!
Lo, as the bark, that hath discharged her fraught,
Returns with precious jading to the bay
From whence at first she weigh'd her anchorage,
Cometh Andronicus, bound with laurel boughs,
To re-salute his country with his tears,
Tears of true joy for his return to Rome.
Thou great defender of this Capitol,
Stand gracious to the rites that we intend!
Romans, of five and twenty valiant sons,
Half of the number that King Priam had,
Behold the poor remains, alive and dead!
These that survive let Rome reward with love;
These that I bring unto their latest home,
With burial amongst their ancestors:
Here Goths have given me leave to sheathe my sword.
Titus, unkind and careless of thine own,
Why suffer'st thou thy sons, unburied yet,
To hover on the dreadful shore of Styx?
Make way to lay them by their brethren.
The tomb is opened
There greet in silence, as the dead are wont,
And sleep in peace, slain in your country's wars!
O sacred receptacle of my joys,
Sweet cell of virtue and nobility,
How many sons of mine hast thou in store,
That thou wilt never render to me more!
LUCIUS
Give us the proudest prisoner of the Goths,
That we may hew his limbs, and on a pile
Ad manes fratrum sacrifice his flesh,
Before this earthy prison of their bones;
That so the shadows be not unappeased,
Nor we disturb'd with prodigies on earth.
TITUS ANDRONICUS
I give him you, the noblest that survives,
The eldest son of this distressed queen.
TAMORA
Stay, Roman brethren! Gracious conqueror,
Victorious Titus, rue the tears I shed,
A mother's tears in passion for her son:
And if thy sons were ever dear to thee,
O, think my son to be as dear to me!
Sufficeth not that we are brought to Rome,
To beautify thy triumphs and return,
Captive to thee and to thy Roman yoke,
But must my sons be slaughter'd in the streets,
For valiant doings in their country's cause?
O, if to fight for king and commonweal
Were piety in thine, it is in these.
Andronicus, stain not thy tomb with blood:
Wilt thou draw near the nature of the gods?
Draw near them then in being merciful:
Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge:
Thrice noble Titus, spare my first-born son.
TITUS ANDRONICUS
Patient yourself, madam, and pardon me.
These are their brethren, whom you Goths beheld
Alive and dead, and for their brethren slain
Religiously they ask a sacrifice:
To this your son is mark'd, and die he must,
To appease their groaning shadows that are gone.
LUCIUS
Away with him! and make a fire straight;
And with our swords, upon a pile of wood,
Let's hew his limbs till they be clean consumed.
Exeunt LUCIUS, QUINTUS, MARTIUS, and MUTIUS, with ALARBUS
TAMORA
O cruel, irreligious piety!
CHIRON
Was ever Scythia half so barbarous?
DEMETRIUS
Oppose not Scythia to ambitious Rome.
Alarbus goes to rest; and we survive
To tremble under Titus' threatening looks.
Then, madam, stand resolved, but hope withal
The self-same gods that arm'd the Queen of Troy
With opportunity of sharp revenge
Upon the Thracian tyrant in his tent,
May favor Tamora, the Queen of Goths--
When Goths were Goths and Tamora was queen--
To quit the bloody wrongs upon her foes.
Re-enter LUCIUS, QUINTUS, MARTIUS and MUTIUS, with their swords bloody
LUCIUS
See, lord and father, how we have perform'd
Our Roman rites: Alarbus' limbs are lopp'd,
And entrails feed the sacrificing fire,
Whose smoke, like incense, doth perfume the sky.
Remaineth nought, but to inter our brethren,
And with loud 'larums welcome them to Rome.
TITUS ANDRONICUS Let it be so; and let Andronicus
Make this his latest farewell to their souls.
Trumpets sounded, and the coffin laid in the tomb
In peace and honour rest you here, my sons;
Rome's readiest champions, repose you here in rest,
Secure from worldly chances and mishaps!
Here lurks no treason, here no envy swells,
Here grow no damned grudges; here are no storms,
No noise, but silence and eternal sleep:
In peace and honour rest you here, my sons!

Health & Safety / Risk Assesment Titus Adronicus

Health and Safety:



The health and safety is important when we are filming because a lot of things could go quite wrong; this is because health and safety has a lot of different filming ideas and they have things for example if the weather is bad, this would mean that we might not of been able to do some filming - this could mean falling back, this also means if the weather is bad it could cause problems towards the journey and health reasons - it could result in someone getting hurt or getting ill from the weather. This means we have to keep check of the weather and how it is going to be on that day so we know if we can go filming or not.
Another safety reason is the equipment, we have to make sure that the equipment is looked after properly and is made into different filming ideas and how they are and how they have made things safe for everyone on the filming site. If the weather is bad this could result in the quipment getting ruined and having to take the consequences of what it would be if something happened.
Health and safety is the most important thing when it comes to writing a assesment about your film because you have to make sure that everything your writing makes sense and has a reason to be written. Health and safety should be the first thing sorted out when doing the assessment and making sure that the assesment criteria is good and doesn't have to be made changes and make things awkward and have to re-do anything or having to re-shoot everything because of what has happened with the criteria.
