  2. Informal • An informal brief is rarely put down on paper. Its usually verbally communicated. • The client and company talk about the requirements for the production. • This type of brief isn’t used a lot as it can be risky and the client may end up with a shoddy product or no product at all. • This maybe useful as a draft brief to be finished or polished at a later date. Pro: I can be quick, it can also be ideal for each party voice their opinions/concerns. Con: This method could be incredibly risky as the company may not understand the brief or could take creative reign of the product.

  3. Tender • This brief is advertised and a production company will apply for the project. • There can usually be many applicants for a production. • This allows the client to choose who will be best for their production. Pro: This allows the client multiple opportunities to find the best company for a production. Con: There may not be any applicants for the brief leaving the client in a rough spot as no-one is interested or willing to take on the production.

  4. Formal • A production company is given a brief by a client specifying what the client wants. • The briefs tend to be open giving enough information and creative freedom that a production company may. • Any issues may be negotiated until a final brief can be agreed on. • Both parties agree on the brief which can be (but not always) legally binding. Pro: The production is clearly explained and is on record Con: There maybe trouble between the client and company not agreeing on a brief or the company not sticking to the brief.

  5. Contractual • This is a brief were the client hires a company to carry out a production to specific guidelines. • The production company should stay within the guidelines of the brief in case they breach the contract which could end up in legal cases. Pro: The client can get the product they want without any fear of get a product they didn’t want. Con: The company may not be able to keep up with or meet the demands of the contract.

  6. Commissioned • A client employs a company to produce a product for them. • The client will pay and then most likely use the companies product in their own use. • The brief is not negotiated between client and company Pro: Gives an independent/Lesser known company attention/credit.
