Pre Production Introduction

 Initial brain storm of Pre-Production 

We were asked to mind map what we think some pre-production steps are for different media platforms.

Pre Production: The documents created before a media product can be made.

Key Words:

Entertainment: Gaining the attention of an audience so that they relax and enjoy the activity .
Information: Providing facts about a topic or answering a question.
Promotion: Raising the awareness of a product in potential customers.This in turn can increase popularity of a brand.

 Revenue Stream: A method of raising money for a project. Revenue streams contain elements of unpredictability, risk and return.
Sponsorship: Money paid for a brand to be associated with final media production. This can involve the placement of a brand name or logo on the final product or telling the viewer who a TV product is sponsored. 
Crowd funding: How finance can be generated for a project or idea conceived by amateurs or professionals, which is promoted via social media networks and funded by public contributions through sites such as kick starter.
Corporate fiance:the raising of money from businesses willing to invest in a project. the business must be convinced that they will receive more money back in the long run from their investment. Investments returns are measured over a long time frame, such as ten years for films.

 Advertising: Monetary payments from brands and organizations in return for the placement of promotional materials on pages or during production. This could include the placement of products within a media product such as within a scene from a TV show.
Franchising: The intellectual property of the original product is licensed. 

 Milestone: checkpoints built into tasks so that the media production allows tracking of performance against a deadline.
Gantt Chart: A timeline schedule of tasks with resources allocated to the. Uses blocks of colour to symbolize periods of time in a visual way.
Production schedule: an overall view of a media production with all tasks, resources and timescales included.
Contingency: A back up resource, extra time or budget allocated to a task alternative location etc.

 Proposal: A formal written plan produced for others to assess the validity of a project.
Pitch: Planned presentation of a project to possibly gain support and financial backing.
High concept document: One page document summarizing a project.
