5. Time

would this be beneficial to your project?
Using examples from your own experiences can help you add detail here.
We will separate the project into sections to make it more easily manageable and
make it easier for us to stay on track and up to date. Previously I have found this to
help me keep track of where I am and what I must do to reach my target.

6. Time
What is contingency time and how might this be beneficial to your project?
Considering some general risks to your project could help you give a more detailed
response.
Contingency time is time that is not got any assigned tasks. It is like spare time that
can
be used as and when you need extra time for something. It acts as a failsafe or a safety
net, allowing you some leeway in case you veer off schedule.
It is always good to plan contingency time as things rarely go exactly to plan, and if
they do it leaves you time for carrying out improvements.

7. Personnel
What size team will you use for your production (large or small)? How many people
will you have in your team? Consider the reasons for this. Think about the
advantages and disadvantages of your team size.
Our production team will be small (2 people) this is because it is easier to organize and
means we will have more resources per person. Also the eventual profit will be more
per person as it will be divided between less people.
A downside to having a smaller production team is that the workload is much heavier
for the individuals.

8. Personnel
What job roles would you have in your production and what skills and experience
would be required? Think back to your early work on jobs roles and departments
and also the skills you know you need to use to produce work. Drawing on your own
experience as well as your industry knowledge will help you here.
The job roles that will be required will be split between the 2 people. Some of the job
roles we will need to be carried out include a photographer, copy writer, graphic
designer, a chef and a model.
We will make use of our photography skills and post production editing techniques
which we have learnt through the course in order to create a suitable image.

9. Personnel
How could you find people to be in your production team? Think back to your own
career development plans to help you with this.
You could advertise in newspapers or magazines or ask people you know. You could
also make use of social networking websites in order to promote the positions
available.

12. Locations
What method could you employ to identify locations needed for your production
(production/ post production facilities) and how could this be useful?
We could conduct a recce in order to find out things such as if we need permission to
use the location, how long it takes to travel to, if it is safe to use and if it will cost us
anything to use.
This will be useful as it allows us to see if a location will be suitable for us to carry out
our task.

It prevents you being sued by the owner of the property or by the models.
