Lesson 4 pre pro processes
- 1. BIG PICTURE LA A – Understanding Pre Production – third task on Job Roles KEYWORDS Technical Crew, Specialist and Experts, talent LEARNING OBJECTIVES Evaluate the extent to which pre-production requirements, processes and documentation contributes to the success of planning and delivering a specific digital media product. SUCCESS CRITERIA Completed notes on job roles Take your seat. Bag under your desk. Have your equipment and planner out. Topic – Unit 4 – Pre Production • What different job roles need to be filled, and what jobs done, as part of the pre-production of a new film release?

- 3. 1. As well as understanding all of the job roles, you also have to demonstrate an understanding of the sequencing of events in the pre-production process • My example is from television and is an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Season 4 Episode 13 - "The 'I' in Team" • This is typical of regular continuing television drama production • It worked on a six week cycle, once all of the basic background planning development had been done for the season as a whole and scripts had been commissioned. For each episode... • 2 weeks of pre production – finalising scripts, storyboarding, locations and sets, props and costumes, special and visual effects, extras and specialists casting, legal and health and safety planning, practical production management (catering, parking, toilets...) • 2 weeks of production – the shoot • 2 weeks of post production – editing, special effects, sound, ADR, reshoots, finalising... • This goes on repeatedly through the season – so by the time Episode 1 screens Episode 2 will be in post production, Episode 3 will be in production and Episode 4 will be in pre production.
- 4. What do you need to produce? 1. Look at my model examples from the first two scenes of the show 2. I have set out what would need to be done during pre production across a range of different departments and job roles in each of those scenes 3. I've deliberately chosen two very 'different' scenes – S1 is an internal dialogue based scene with very few characters, S2 is an external action scene set at night with more characters, a 'monster', a fight scene and weapons. That allows me to write about a range of different job roles and requirements. • Choose three other scenes – there's a list on the blog of all of the scenes in the show to help you choose • Make sure you choose at least one 'simple' non-action dialogue based scene, and at least one more complex action scene, along with third which is somehow different again. (Visual effects? Night rather than day? Interesting camera movement?)
- 5. Go for it • The episode is on the blog • The model answers are on the blog • Obviously you can't choose the scenes that I've written the model answers on • You can choose any others. If you want some guidance, I think the following are quite good to write about here but it's entirely up to you so long as your choices cover... • A straightforward dialogue scene • An action scene • Something interior • Something exterior • Something with special and visual effects S4 – Spike and Giles in Spike's tomb – a location scene in a recurring set with regular characters, with some interesting things about lighting and mise en scene S5 – Int at The Initiative – regular recurring set – extras and recurring characters – lots of set design, props and cinematography issues S8 – Group of characters in the Bronze – a location scene in a recurring set - extras, music, interesting lighting... S21 – Buffy and monsters fight scene – interesting original set – special effects, fight choreography, use of duel settings and monitors And S11, which intercuts between a fight scene and a (12 certificate rated) sex scene and a surveillance scene elsewhere and has loads of things going on but is quite long and would probably count as two although you'd need to say this somewhere.
- 6. We will visit the Distinction criteria - Evaluate the extent to which pre-production requirements, processes and documentation contributes to the success of planning and delivering a specific digital media product – at every stage 1. Not for the first time, there is a very obvious answer to the Distinction task – how do these job roles and processes contribute to the success of the pre production processes? Evaluating for Distinction 1. The example in the markscheme says • A rejection of permission to film in a location during the pre-production phase might result in a change of location, with planning still possible ahead of shooting the film. The connection between the financial, logistical and regulatory requirements of pre-production planning will be demonstrated through learners’ ability to comment on how they impacted the production, for example learners will observe that poor logistical planning resulted in a financial overspend, or a failure to check the copyright of the music resulted in a last minute change of music that had a negative impact on the final film.
- 7. BIG PICTURE MY LEARNING How did this lesson fit into your other lessons? What is my top take- away from the lesson? Have you contributed to the lesson? Will you be able to improve next lesson? Do you know what you need to go away and do? o Have you kept up? o Have you covered a range of job roles from different departments as set out on the task sheet? o Have you evaluated why these roles are processes are so important?
