Task 1 - Pre Production
Task 1 - Pre Production
Type Of Production
This production will include pre-production, production & if needed postproduction to lift
the production value & level to a higher point. The actual type of production is a Movie.
Finance
This project will need funding from multiple sources, to be able to ensure ability to pay
those on set, in production. We need this funding because it is important to be able to turn
this idea into a reality.
Logistics
The logistics team are required to manage the movement of set & all other necessities on
set, they also manage the inventory and anything that comes in with moving, and away in
moving.
Timing
The timings will not be set in stone until all the other requirements & protocol are met and
set. When this is achieved timings will be made & presented to the team, to be checked
over and given all clear by the rest of the team. A rough time estimate is usually going to be
1-2 years.
Facilities
Facilities will need to be sourced, and potentially hired out for the use for the film
Locations
A filming location is a place where some or all a film or television series is produced, in
addition to or instead of using sets built on a movie studio backlot or soundstage. In
filmmaking, a location is any place where a film crew will be filming actors and recording
their dialog.
Personnel
A film crew is a group of people, hired by a production company, for the purpose of
producing a film or motion picture. The crew is distinguished from the cast, as the cast are
understood to be the actors who appear in front of the camera or provide voices for
characters in the film. The crew is also separate from the producers, as the producers are
the ones who own a portion of either the film studio or the film's intellectual property
rights.
Material
Film material means all physical elements of any Motion Picture owned or controlled by
Mandate or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, all negatives, duplicate negatives, fine
grain prints, soundtracks, positive prints (cut-outs and trims excepted), and sound, all video
formats and trailers.
Code of Practice
“When creating productions, copyright is something that can stand in the way, and can limit
you. For example, "music" copyright is one of the main limitations.
When filming productions, before any actual shooting can take place, the locations must be
found or built (if making a set). In some situations, permission to film in certain areas will be
needed, as the land could be private property.
This is something very important and is taken with great care in the film/TV industry, health
and safety. When filming on set, the environment must be safe for the actors and crew etc.
in most cases, unless they are in fact shooting a dangerous scene, for example a car chase,
or setting off explosions.
Regulation
Regulatory bodies, are the public sector organisations that oversee and govern several areas
where film making may be affected, some examples may be:
Ofcom is a regulatory body that has control over certain things that companies, and crew
can do when shooting something
Known as the advertising standards authority, they regulate over all different types of
advertisement in the media. Being it video advertising, radio, images etc. If someone sends
in a complaint to them, stating that an advert is too rude for the time it’s on for example,
then they will act on that by finding the advert, and if it breaks the code then the advert will
be changed or removed from its spot.
Clearances
Film clearance is the process of acquiring the required permission for all aspects of a film
production. The necessary clearances can include sets, actors/extras, music, stock film, art,
posters, products/brands, books, broadcasts, computer programs, dramatic works,
photographs, etc.
Legal
use as much original material as possible so you don’t have the problem of needing
permission to use something that is someone’s property, however being safe can be very
limiting
“you’ll need to have clearance.
You must have permission to use what belongs to someone else – as you’ll see below, what
“belongs to someone else,” could mean almost anything!
If you fail to obtain all the necessary clearances, waivers, rights and permissions, then you’ll
most likely forfeit the right to screen your work in public – be that film festivals, TV, theatre
release, etc – or, at the very least, make things very difficult for yourself.”
Movie Unions (Trade Unions)
A movie union, also known as a film union, or just a union, is an organized group of
professionals that looks after its members. This can include making sure contracts are fair,
that they are getting paid fair wages, that they are being treated well, and that they are
working the right number of hours.
