The Pre-Production Process

The Pre-Production Process

There are so many different types of videos and film types for example there are full feature films, TV, music and ads. They have loads of different ways to distribute quality entertainment to the public. Those different ways to distribute are via blue ray, YouTube or screenings at the cinema or on TV.

With the type of funding that exist for the film, TV and moving images industry. People think there are a lot but not many are willing to partake with certain industries. Here are a few as an example, Private capital loans, sponsors and grant funds.

The requirements for any film are that you will need equipment a cast and crew. Any talents that are needed front or back talents are needed to budget themselves so that we didn’t go over or need more money, they will also need refreshments as well as a place to stay for the night if they need to shoot more than one scene at that location or other locations in the area, they will also need props and marketing as well as the copyright licences to use a certain music or lines sang or said by famous people.

For our short film we had to do is gather together the talent, props (knife, blood, paint), camera, costumes (the clothes we wore that day/s), road mic (boom mic), permission from the people we were filming, free music from different sites the music was called royal free copyright music. 

For personal we had three main talent and a couple back talent a camera personal and the person that got all the props the way we accolated to these positions was the person who’s idea it was and I don’t know if the other people in the group and the back talents if they had any expenses before that filming but I did not.

For the making of different types of films or TV programs (e.g. low budget to Hollywood producers) there are different types of casts for a low budget, the cast is small and they only consist of about 5 to 10 people like cluck’s. For a TV program they can have any amount of people between 20 to over 100 depending on how long the programme is running like iZombie and a Hollywood production can have a cast of about 30 people and more like the movie Antman.

For the media text there are lots of different people who work on a movie except from the crew there are back talents,writers and even the makeup artists. These are only a few of the people who work on a big film and but even though they only play a small part in the production they have a big impact on the movie. Without them the film would not be able to go on.

Our timeline was only 6 weeks two was for pre-production two was for filming and two was for editing we handed the timeline well but we went over by a week because the per-production took longer than we anticipated so we missed the original dead line but it was extended by 2 weeks as not everyone was finished which meant the it ran into TV Advert.

For the equipment you can gather all sorts of professionally styled equipment from different sites like hire camera or you can rent from shops or websites. The equipment that was available for use to use was a DLSR camera, tripod, road microphone, SD card and this equipment was all available from the colleges av room.

For the location there are different type of forms they are recces and releases the recces are to scout out the area and who to contact and what types of accommodations are there where the release is to say you can use that location. We picked the docks and the college because it fit our critter for the film of brother on opposite sides. The risks we faced was falling down the hill and tripping up in college so we checked the area before filming.

For a production you need different types of materials, the materials you require are props, software, music, sound, effect, lights, stock footage, set decision and credits and title. For the financial consecration is how much can we spend and then make back on the movie without losing out and how much will each materials will cost.

With legal considerations we will have to think about copyright and permission for use of ground. Whit copyright you can get done if you have use someone’s production without getting permission from them first and land with a fine or maybe put in prison but only if they sue you. The way that copyright affected our depict work is that we couldn’t use some music that we wanted to use. With copyright it has three things that manly need concerns Clearance which means having permission to use like in a move using a logo on cloths. Public Liabity insurance means that you are coved from copyright so you can use something that has a copyright on it and not be done. Completion guarantee/insurance means the whole film is coved no matter what so you could add in some music and not get done.

A regulatory body is a government agency responsible for exercising independent authority over some area of human activity supervisory capacity. There is a regulator called Ofcom which dose the communications in the UK. It function is to regulate TV and radio sectors also fix line telecoms, mobiles, postal services and the airwaves over which devices operate. The bbc is regulated by the Oft instead of the Ofcom and the reason this is different from the Ofcom is because it is outside bodies. The bbfc is UK's regulator of film and video it provides age ratings they also have power to cut or reject a project.
