Advertising Pre-Production.

I thought it would be simpler to clarify in one post exactly what you need to complete for pre-production, therefore you can use this as a "signpost" for what I expect of you.

Key dates: 14/11/14 (draft 1) 21/11/14 (final deadline).

Below is a list of the pre-production that is required and how you should create it, if it is possible, I have made an exemplar form for you to complete which available from this link or by clicking on documentation above. 

• Finance: Sources of finance; requirements, e.g. equipment, transport, talent, crew, materials, facility hire, clearances. Create a costing sheet on Excel that documents the cost for your shoot. Realistically there is a cost, whether it be travel, food or something. Equipment hire is free but you should still document this!
• Time/Personnel: Production schedule is available on the link this includes a production schedule, crew list and location details.
• Location Scouting: Take images of your location and create a document on Word that shows what the location is, where it is (the address), why you chose this location, what the limitations are. 
• Codes of Practice: A document on how your advert relates to the ASA and CAP - this is not a brief document, you need to research both and how exactly your advert does not mislead, harm, offend and is socially responsible. This will require some additional information, which I shall provide next week.
• Production documentation: Storyboard at a minimum 15 shots, scripts, risk assessment, evidence of equipment hire, cast information and documentation to use locations.

This should ALL be word processed (expect the storyboard, which you can handwrite). You need to ensure this is of a high-quality as this is 50% of your coursework grade for Unit 1.

Deadline must be adhered to - failure to hand work in work will only allow a PASS grade.
