PREPRODUCTION revision

Preproduction

- Proposal/treatment: a written word document that outlines what I will produce for the client. Includes equipment, staffing requirement, budget.

- Production schedule 

- Call sheet

- SWOT Analysis: Analysis style separated into 4 categories (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) - which is applied to the concept of media product early on in pre-production. 

- Asset Log: A list of requirements I need.  

- Risk assessment 

- Storyboard

- Script

- Shooting script: A script specifically created for a film. 

- Concept Art: What my product will look like. A method of developing look or feel.

- Visualisation Diagram

- Flat Plan/Wireframe: Typically used to plan a sites structure/functionality. These are sketches/illustrations of what a website or app may look/feel like. 

- Prototype: Functional version of product but not final.

- Page Mock Up: A one above visualisation diagrams and flat plans. Making an example with placeholder images. Gets approval from client before production. 

- Set Design: These can be 2D or 3D physical or digital renderings of the way a set will look in front of the camera/audience/player. Takes place early in the planning of moving image/gaming products. It allows for the direction to happen around the set and Develop the story etc. This can be done digitally or through maquette/white card models of the planned scene.

- Site Map: Helps clarify sites goals before planning or creating the website.

- Permission & Consent Form

Tanya Jones adventure game- is set design useful?

IS USEFUL: Existing landmarks makes set design easier. Fictional areas need design and deviation from reality needs design.

ISN'T USEFUL: Inhibit the work for level designer means slow production. Stifle creativity. 



CONSTRAINT- A constraint is a factor which limits the ability of a producer to create a product. These can be physical (lack of resources, staffing) for environmental (time, weather, time of year).


The following products could be specified in your Unit 2 exam. Constraints that affect their production:

- Magazine- printing costs, time

- TV Advert/Title sequence- time, budget, acting schedules,  

- Game Levels- copyright, time, budget

- Social Media Page- time, budget, terms and conditions

- Website

- Radio Show

- YouTube video series-


CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYS- 

-Push back of release: larger studios/productions

-Loss of earnings: smaller producers can be forced to work longer on the same budget or be required to pay penalties for late completion

-Loss of contract: failure to complete on time can result in agencies/production houses losing a contract.

-Unemployment: failure to meet a deadline can lead to losing your job/position.

-Damage to company reputation: clients may discuss failure to meet deadlines with contemporaries damaging the reputation of the production house.


SCHEDULES, schedules are disrupted by constraints
