Time Scales and Production Schedules

Pre production- planning stage
Production- making stage (obtaining materials- filming, photographing)
Post Production- editing stage

What to consider while planning:

Task allocation- WHO is suitable for each task (how their skills will link to production, pre production, post production
Scheduling- WHEN does each task need to be done and how long will it take to complete.
     dependencies- where one task needs to be done before another can be started (E.G. script before a story board, research before designs)
      milestones- setting them ensures work is met up to a standard and manages deadlines
Resources allocations- WHAT resources people will need such as equipment/ resources for each task.
Report Creation- HOW the team completed each task. How well the team have communicated to ensure the production is effective throughout.

In the exam we need to think about:

Deadlines- you need to establish when the key deadlines are, who in your team they effect most, and what needs to be done by those deadlines in order to get the best work for your money

Pre Production- each task needs to be carefully scheduled in linear fashion- milestones are crucial.
     contingencies- back up ideas, data and staff if things go wrong- e.g. someone not pulling their weight, or copy right against your designs.
     example brief milestones- deciding on budget, research, initial ideas, designing stage, testing functions of site, designing final ideas.

production/post- the production needs to be monitored to ensure...

- individual targets are being met within team
-personnel, locations, props, costumes and equipment are booked well in advance 
-communication of the team to ensure milestone are met (milestones- sample web pages, making sure its functional, taking photos for the page, editing what the client changes)
-talking to thet client for feedback (having back up samples if they don't like your designs and allowing other modifications)

contingencies- having back ups if aspects fail
 back up locations- having serval sets or locations for filming or photography
 cast member- having an understudy if someone drops out or is fired

    Clear notes, well laid out. I am particularly pleased with how you offer little definitions of new terms - this will aide your exam revision significantly.

    Please add a comment below reflecting on my comments and explaining any changes you have made.

Notes On The Guardian: Due to audience fragmentation, helped created by modern streaming sites such as Netflix  and demand, as well as the desire of 'Mega-Budget' shows and movies on a constant conveyor belt of content, the low - mid budget  film industry has taken a massive hit in their audiences interests.

Answer all questions. Section A 1(a)  Identify two costs that Ian needs to consider when developing the 247Me app and explain how these costs impact on the project. (6) Despite doing target research through a local market research company to lower costs, this is still a big cost Ian should consider and keep in mind while budgeting as the target research will help make this app look appealing to the 14-24 year old target, which have very different tastes and opinions. Another cost would be paying his personnel, Ella and Josh, to do the physical creation and design of the app itself which if they need help since Ella is a new graphic designer, you may need to hire and pay outside assistance to come in and aid the project.  (b)  Identify one type of project management tool that Ian could use to keep track of the project tasks and explain why it is suitable for this task.  (3) For this project, since there is only...
