What is included in Pre-production?

Film Industry
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. In this case pre-production includes:
  • Location Scouting- The act of visiting and assessing the suitability of potential filming locations.
  • Prop and wardrobe identification and preparation- Choosing the right clothing and props for the period and place in which a film is set.
  • Special effects identification and preparation- Using the correct technology and effects that is suitable to the type of film that is made.
  • Production schedule- Planning when the film is going to be shot, which locations will be used, who needs to be involved and when.
  • Set Construction- Building the sets and scenery for all of the location shooting and studio shooting.
  • Script-locking- Semi-finalisation of the script.
  • Script read through with cast, director and other interested parties

Music Industry

 In the music industry, pre-production is a process whereby a recording artist spends time creating and refining their musical ideas. The artist then produces a song's demo recording, or rough draft, in order to pre-establish the song's creative premise. This reduces the time and money spent in expensive studios.

Sample assessment

1 (a) Identify two costs that Ian needs to consider when developing the 247Me app and explain how these costs impact on the project. One cost is hiring staff  because wages are a big expenditure of most businesses so having staff means more cost of wages and the more staff that are hired to help develop the app the more wages that need to be paid. Another cost is paying the local market research company to do the research for them. Although Ian will save time, he's adding to his costs by getting a company that will need to be paid to do the market research for him. (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. One type of project management tool Ian could use to keep track of the project tasks is an Excel spreadsheet because it is a good way to keep track of calculations and money coming in and out of the business. It is suitable for this task because they have limited fun

Technological Convergence

Technological Convergence When different types of technology meet to produce one converged product that can do everything. For example; a smartphone phone is used for calling, listening, using the internet, taking pictures and timing etc... Convergence technologies allows for a number of different types of products to come together to make one individual advanced product. For example a smart phone. Although from our grandparents point of view they would've had to purchase each individual product because they wouldn't have converged together to form one product yet. For example, technology of my grandparents era would have consisted of records or cassettes to listen to their favourite music and if they were lucky to have a TV they would have to watch a programme at a specific time as their was no recording unless they had a VHS.
