Concept development and planning a content shoot
Graduate Capabilities
• Innovative Problem Solving
• Technology and Information Literacy
Learning Outcome/s (found in the Subject Outline) a) Evaluate visual content (photos, videos and social) from a variety of written and visual sources.
b) Experiment with creative methodologies within the image making process.
c) Create promotional imagery, applying technical, creative and visual techniques to effectively build brand stories.
Concept development and planning a content shoot involve a range of skills that align with the graduate capabilities of innovative problem solving and technology and information literacy. To achieve the learning outcomes of the subject, the following steps could be taken:
Research: The first step in developing a concept and planning a content shoot is to conduct research. This includes researching the brand, the target audience, and the industry trends.
Brainstorming: After conducting research, the next step is to brainstorm ideas for the shoot. This involves coming up with creative concepts and strategies to showcase the brand and effectively communicate its story.
Planning: Once the concept has been developed, the next step is to plan the logistics of the shoot. This includes determining the location, props, lighting, and equipment needed for the shoot.
Execution: During the execution phase, the shoot takes place, and the creative ideas are brought to life. This involves using technical and visual techniques to create promotional imagery that aligns with the brand’s story.
Evaluation: The final step in the process is to evaluate the visual content produced during the shoot. This involves assessing the effectiveness of the imagery in building the brand story and reaching the target audience.
Throughout the process, the graduate capabilities of innovative problem solving and technology and information literacy are used. Innovative problem solving is used in developing creative concepts and strategies for the shoot, while technology and information literacy are used in selecting the appropriate equipment and tools to bring the concepts to life. The learning outcomes of the subject are achieved through evaluating visual content, experimenting with creative methodologies, and creating promotional imagery that effectively builds brand stories.
