The document discusses the key requirements and considerations for a moving image production, including financing, timescales, facilities, locations, personnel, additional materials, codes of practice and regulations, and pre-production formats. Financing options include crowdfunding, investments from multiple similar films, and individual investors. Timescales, facilities, and locations all require careful planning. A variety of personnel from camera operators to costume designers are needed. Pre-production includes casting interviews, proposals, master scene and shooting scripts, storyboards, and shooting schedules. Health and safety and obtaining copyright permissions are important regulations.

3. FINANCING• Financing is important for a pre production because you need to know what needs to be bought and financed and figure out
what items you need for that performance so the financer can come to a final conclusion.
• There are multiple ways of getting the funds needed for a pre production that could lead to your film being taken further and
closer to being released to the public:
• Crowdfunding - This is where you offer your friends and family rewards and offers hoping in return they will put money
your movie production to help it progress , in most cases this does work and it is a rather popular method producers use.
• Crowdfunding is public funding where your relatives can input funding when you offer rewards . This is good because you know
who you can rely on and that you know who to ask however you may offer out all these deals and not receive anything back
• Investments – If you have 3 – 5 films in a similar genre it will be easier to approach to investors with a similar slate of
which will make it more likely for them to invest in the film purchase.
• Investors – They are private funding which is gathered by individual investors who believe your film will progress well.
funding is a good way to go about getting your film progressed because you can individually connect with your investor
discuss further plans for your movie and also its only one person you need to worry about and its much more simple with
one investor. However there is the disadvantage of if that investor changes their mind then there is no other fall back
go to as they were your only investment for your movie
• In financing you have to think about everything within a production such as what needs purchasing , costumes , props , cast and
crew to be paid for their work , transport to and from film shooting places, facilities such as places for crew and cast to stay and
food and drinks being served. Producing a film is a heavy cost and isn't something that can be done on a very low budget.
Without these the film would be nothing and it would not even make it to an investment because your production has to be to a
standard where investors actually want to invest. These things are needed in production to make it appealing to their preferred
audience and effective because they use certain types of these thing to pull the audiences interests.

4. TIMESCALES
• It is incredibly important to establish timescales whilst working on your pre production
because your co workers need to have an organised schedule so they know
• Timescales are used to put in place when you need your cast and crew and it's important
to have them because it keeps everyone up to date with times of where they need to be
places to make your production best fitted as they can.
• Timescales can be used in multiple ways whether it is to organise rehearsing scheduler or
whether it's just a time to be a place .
• Being organised is the key point in timescales because if your schedule was to become
messy you would end up with people in the wrong places and your production would be
really hard to progress because no one would be where they are meant to be .

5. FACILITIES
• When filming a production equipment is used to make it the best production .
Equipment such as camera's , green screen , microphones , on camera microphone ,
headphones etc.
• It is important to plan what equipment you need before the production so then you
know you have all the equipment you need however if this was to go bad you wouldn’t
have the equipment to film your production and without equipment you cant make a
production simple as that.
• If careful planning isn't used then there is risk of faulty equipment being used , not all of
your equipment being there so then you can't finish filming you production and also
that the wrong equipment could be bought which isn't any use to your production.

6. LOCATIONS
• When finding locations for your script for the production you need to think about what
places would go with the script , what fits what scene and that’s where a recce come in this
Is where a few members of your crew will go to a location and check to see if it is suitable
for your production for the type of scene they have been sent out for .
• When you go looking for locations there are multiple things you keep in mind such as ,
looking at the right time because if the scene your looking for is in the day time and you
go looking what it's like at night time it isn't going to be the right thing for the scene and
it will be different to what it would be in the day. Lighting is always changing so you have
to think is this a place where lighting isn't going to be a problem , You're going to need
somewhere with power supplies for equipment that needs to be plugged in ,
• Some problems that might occur are weather changes as you can't control the weather
and also that it may get darker depending what time of year it is so you have to be so
careful when finding locations to shoot your production.

7. PERSONNEL
• There are certain crew that you will need to hire who specialise in the elements you
need such as a camera crew which are a crew that do your shooting for you with their
cameras and are specialised in doing great angles and shots of what you need to make
it more effective , director of photography who leads the photographers to what shots
to take , hair and make- up crew that prepare your actors for the shooting to look the
best on set your cast who make your production as they are the characters in your
production , Costume crew who know what cast member need what costume at what
scene and designs the costumes to make the production the most effective. , Sound
specialists who help put music into your production and help enhance your characters
speaking , production assistant that helps the production run smoothly and keeps
everyone in check.
• There is one other important personnel that I believe is one and that is the figure that
inspired someone to make that production because if it weren't for them then the
production wouldn’t of even been thought about like The Dark Knight Rises was
inspired by another film called The Tale Of Two Cities..

8. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS
• The interviews at the very beginning of the production where they ire the cast that is
an important addition because without this there would be no crew , this is the process
where people would come and audition for the part and then go through an interview
process to whether they have been chosen for that production or not.

9. CODES OF PRACTICE AND REGULATIONS
• Health and safety procedures is the number one procedure that is made sure to be taken
as in many films there are risks and there are certain stunts that actors have to do which
could be life threatening so before even starting filming each crew and cast member is
insured in case anyone was to get injured and also wherever the production team goes
someone will make sure it is safe for them to be here and film there before actually going
there as their lives are the most important thing when filming .
• You have to get permissions of companies to be copyright their work and so before
anyone else's work is put in your production you have to get permission off everyone's
work that you want to use before shooting as it is illegal to use someone else's work
without getting permission and recognizing them in some way as it is their work.

10. THE FORMATS FOR
PRE-PRODUCTION
PROCESS

11. PROPOSAL
• A proposal is a piece of work that concludes all the work put into the production and
everything that is being used,. Basically a record of everything so the director knows
what was used where and when.
• A proposal keeps everyone In check when filming as then they know what is going on
and laso it is in writing what is happening so no one can change it unless allowed to.

12. SCRIPTING – MASTER SCENE SCRIPT
• An advantage of a master scene script is it's reader friendly screenplay
to show investors to sell your script to them .
• A master scene script is the format required by the motion picture
industry for modern screenplays before they are greenlit for production.
The master scene script is distinct from the shooting script in that it
does not include camera direction.

13. SCRIPTING – SHOOTING SCRIPT
• A shooting script is the version of a screenplay used during the
production of a motion picture. Shooting scripts are distinct from spec
scripts in that they make use of scene numbers, and they follow a well-
defined set of procedures specifying how script revisions should be
implemented and circulated.
• It is important because A shooting script is used during the production
process of your movie to help communicate the filming process to all
crew members and actors involved.

14. STORYBOARDING
• Before you create your film storyboards, you have to perform certain
tasks and make certain decisions. First, begin by evaluating your
screenplay and picturing it in terms of separate shots that can be
visually translated into individual storyboard panels.
• In a simple term a storyboard is a visual plan of what your film is going
to look like with certain captions so you know what scene it is from.

15. SHOOTING SCHEDULES
• A shooting schedule is a project plan of each day's shooting for a film
production. It is normally created and managed by the assistant director,
who reports to the production manager managing the production
schedule. Both schedules represent a timeline stating where and when
production resources are used.
• This is useful and helpful because it helps organise the production and
can be easily adjusted if the director isnt happy with it.

16. OTHER PAPERWORK
• The days out of days report (DOODR) - Quite simply a chart , On one axis, the chart shows
the names of all of the characters in the film, sometimes with a note about which actor is
playing which character. Each character is numbered, and they’re usually listed in order of
importance to the story – for example, the protagonist is “#1”. The numbers in this
scheduling document correlate to the numbers in all other documents.
• On the chart’s other axis, you’ll find all of the days in the film shoot. Here, in each box, you’ll
find a notation that indicates whether an actor is working on the day represented by that
• The One Liner - A one-liner is essentially an abbreviated shooting schedule. Most
productions also create a more detailed shooting schedule that breaks down each day by
scene and includes the equipment, location, talent, and other relevant information, but in
experience, it’s rare for this to get widely distributed. The one-liner, however, is a scheduling
document that will be distributed to most people involved with the production. The

17. THE FUNCTIONS
OF PRE-
PRODUCTION

18. • On-Set and On Point
• You’ve set up the camera and the actors are in place. Scripts are in-hand and the director
“action.” At times, the director, producer or videographer might not like how a line is being
delivered or the movement associated with the lines may be a little off, so there may be the
need to make slight changes. These can evolve into script and shot changes. But in pre-
production we had a finalized script and shot sheet right? In any film or video situation these
can all change on a dime. Clients should keep in mind that the crew needs to have flexibility
change lines, actions, even locations due to something not particularly syncing together.
Having a final product that looks great and delivers the message is what we strive for and
those necessary changes can affect that.
• An Ultimate Vision
• Having a solid vision and the ability to convey that ahead of time can also affect the on-set
action and set up. Changes on-set can often give you just the little edge or extra that may
have not been planned. At times our crew needs to make changes on the fly depending on
how the director interprets the script. Sometimes when you get on set and see the shot
through the lens, you have more clarity on the situation – one where you can mold the look
and feel of the live actors “in the moment,” which can make for an even better scene. But
we deliver a product with the slightly different choices made on set, the client doesn’t always
know why the situation called for adjustments. They may ask, “Why is this different?” In the
end, the changes generally make it stronger visually or a better portrayal of the message
we had pre-planned in our mind’s eye.

19. THE PURPOSE OF
PRE PRODUCTION

20. • Pre-production is more than just useless paperwork to jump
through hoops. Pre-production is vital to all members of the
crew. It ensures that the entire crew knows exactly what’s
going on. If they need to know why we’re shooting in a certain
way, or why we’re shooting in a certain place, they can see the
entire process that we’ve gone through in order to get to
where we are. Pre-Production is also very important if you are
working for a client. When working for a client it is important
to show them exactly where you are in your work and where
you are heading in order to give them feedback. Pre-
production will help with the overall quality of the production
by organising it.
