Pre Production

Types of Pre Production: Pre Production is a vital stage of any creative production process. It's a fairly loose term which refers to the tasks that are undertaken before any production. For a small video company, pre-production may refer to everything that happens before shooting begins, for example, meeting with the client, research, storyboarding, location planning, etc. For feature films, pre-production is more specific and only begins when other milestones have been met such as financing, screenplay, casting and major staffing. 

Finance: An important stage of the pre production is the finance planning.You need to figure out what finances you need for things such as advertising, sponsorship, hiring prices, cover price, sales and also rental charges. Also there is expendature with costs of crew, personall, facility hire and also legal costs. 


Timing/Schedules: Timing and schedules need to be planned and organised very precisely. This is important because crew members need to know where to go on what days and also you need to know when certain facilities are open for hire. Making a time schedule would be very beneficial to all the members that are working on the project on certain days.

Facilities: Any media production will involve the use of production equipment and facilities to capture, record, edit and manipulate the raw material into the finished product. You need to make sure facilities that you need are booked which comes with organisation. Moving image, photographic products will need equipment and studios to capture sounds and images that you will need.
