Advanced Production Critical Evaluation For my AS production I followed a set brief. I was required to work in a group to produce a 3 minute trailer for a new horror/thriller movie. In my A2 advanced production my brief was to work within a group in order to produce a promotional package to introduce a new band into the mainstream music industry. The package could take any form, using a variety of medias. We started the project by doing individual research into the music industry. Through my research I aimed to gain in depth knowledge and understanding of the industry. I researched the style, form, genre and identity of album covers, music videos and record labels. I found all media products have signifiers of the form of the media product, and generic signifiers. This allows audiences to instantly reconigise the product. There are conventions of form and genre which help give the product identity. This identity is created through the use of imagry, copy, iconography, intertextuality, As a group we aimed to construct identity and style of a new an alternative mainstream band. We aimed to establish a unique style within the Indie genre and to sell the band to a mainstream audience and music industry through the production of a music video, LP album cover and a press release. Each member of our group had ideas for band/ artist they wanted to use and for the package they wanted to create. When we got together we presented our ideas to one another and discussed which we would like to produce. We decided that the song 'bus stop boxer' by 'eels' was most suited to the persona of our group and was the song that we could feel mo... ... middle of paper ... ...ainstream through enigmatic, original schemes. One idea would extend the themes used on the album cover. The Tippo logo would be printed as stickers and would be stuck on roads all round the centre of London, including Oxford Street, Tottenham court road and the surrounding area as well as in and around venues. The stickers would set up an enigma, which could only be solved by the album cover. People who view both would feel rewarded by the extra understanding. This would give direct reference to our front cover, making it more rewarding for people who had seen the stickers. We could also place the unconventional sign used on our front cover on sign posts around London. This would be thought provoking and enigmatic. We had censorship in mind when making our video and there are no materials of an offensive nature.
My first song I´ve chosen is Sean McGee, song titled My Story. Mainly the song is about him facing different struggles, obstacles, and all the horrible things and situations he´s been in throughout his life. I can connect to this song and the lyrics for many reasons. One of his lines were ¨Do you know how it feels to be left out in the rain¨? And I have faced times like this when I feel like no one is there or have my back, and in the line he´s trying express how it feels to have nobody and be all alone. Also throughout this song he expresses how everyday you wake up your face with something rather it's just a minor issue or something that will greatly impact your life.
I have chosen to do two songs waiting on a woman by Brad Presley witch the whole song makes a gender stereotype about woman always making a man wait. The second song I choose to do is George Straits A fathers Love which enforces it’s hard to be a father and what a good strong dad role model is. Both songs spoke to me in different ways.
The method of Lean Six Sigma is the combination of two business techniques that includes Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma.

The song I choose is Rockstar by Hannah Montana. The song talks about how Hannah wants to get a boys attention but he dosent seem to care. Only if he knew that she is so much more than what is on the outside he could see that she is an amazing person. It talks about how Hannah is not just what people percieve her as, she could be anything… even a rockstar.
Our group chose "Speak To The Hand" by Lakita Garth. This song talks about the health
The song I chose is Runaway Love by Ludacris featuring Mary J. Blige. The song was released in 2007 on Ludacris’s fifth album Release Therapy. The style or genre is rhythm and blues and rap. The song is very soulful and emotional. Ludacris is the main voice in the song and raps all of the verses telling a story, however Mary J. Blige is the emotion behind the lyrics and she sings the chorus. The mood of the song is sad and emotional. There is a rhythm though if beats that draws the listener in. The beat is made by a clapping noise and makes the listener want to clap along to the beat. The songs tempo is not too fast or too slow. It's slow enough to be soulful but it's still fast enough to rap to and has a beat. The instruments in this song are the guitar, base, and keyboard, along with background vocals.
“Sunday Candy”. When I hear this song, I don’t hear Jamila Woods, I hear you. Sorry for the dramatic antics, but GIRL. LET ME TELL YOU. This was the second new song I learned being in of Poor Richards. And GIRL. It took forever to get to your solo, but when we got there--holy fuck. MADAME PRESIDENT . You kill it all the time. This is why you always have a million solos. Because you always kill it.
The Six Sigma approach was designed by Motorola in 1986. The primary objective of the concept was to develop a tool for tallying the process defects and, as the result, improving business operations. The foundations of the approach are the customer needs, statistical analysis of data and facts, and timely execution. The method promises numerous benefits such as increasing performance and profitability of an organization, improving product or service quality and employee morale, decreasing costs, the growth of market share, the higher level of satisfying customer needs, etc. (Meredith & Shafer, 2013). The primary advantage
The song I chose is called “Juicy” by Biggie Smalls, the title seems misleading but it actually related to the song because the melody was taken from another song called juicy fruit. It could have more of a meaning that he had some information or story that he wanted to tell because juicy could also mean secret or interesting, telling people how he grew up on the streets as Christopher Wallace. The main topic of the song is biggie talking about how people doubted him and how he grew up on the streets as a poor kid. He talks about how his life has changed and how he had nothing to having everything. When I first heard the song I thought it had a good beat and the lyrics flowed together, even if you do not really listen to the words the first time it is still a catchy song. The song also makes you understand how he grew up on the streets not having much and turning his life “from negative to positive” as he says in this song.
The craft producer uses highly skilled workers and simple but flexible tools to make exactly what the customer asks forone item at a time. Few exotic sports cars provide current day examples. We all love the idea of craft production, but the problem with it is obvious: Goods produced by the craft methodas automobiles once were exclusivelycost too much for most of us to afford. So mass production was developed at the beginning of the twentieth century as an alternative.
In the SMD Production Department, tiny devices, like chips, transistors etc. are mounted on the circuit boards by the use of the SMD (Surface Mounting Device) machine. This SMD machine takes the inputs (tiny devices) in forms of reels. Reels of the desired material is loaded to the machine and software does the rest of the job.

In 1987 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established its expectations regarding process validation in the Guidance for Industry Process Validation. In this document the general principles and process validation components that are considered vital towards effective process validation are outlined. It also highlights the importance that these approaches be consistently and repeatedly used by all manufacturers through their manufacturing processes. The FDA also outlines the importance of the cohesion between process validation and other pharmaceutical regulatory systems such and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Quality, compliance and the manufacturing lifecycle. Since 1987, the FDA has also produced revised guidance's building on the principles in its original document to maintain and modern and updated approach to the topic. In essence, this document highlights how controlled and effective process validation is required to maintain the highest standards of drug quality to allow the safe and repeatable production of pharmaceuticals intended for human use. If these principles h...
One of the challenges for the operations manager in any business is the scheduling of key production activities. There are numerous variables that need to be considered in this planning process. These factors include production capacity, customer demand, supplier performance, design completion, cash flow, and staffing (Heizer, 2011). All these factors come together to create a production plan that can fluctuate based on many external forces. The idea of the master production schedule and the sales and operations plan is to help forecast and meet the required production levels. The goal is to maximize efficiency and profitability through anticipating demand and adjusting production schedules accordingly. The Sales and Operations Plan (S&OP) and the Master Production Schedule (MPS) are two tools used in operations management to assist in the scheduling process.
