The Production Process

Well begun is halfway done!

Phase 1- Pre-Production

• In pre-production the following questions must be answered:• What is the message you are trying to communicate? • Is film or video the best medium to convey that

message? • Who is the audience? • What do you want them to learn, understand, feel,

value or do as a result of seeing the production?

• Activities associated with the pre-production phase include: development of the project concept (treatment), scripting, storyboarding, budgeting, location scouting, scheduling, talent auditions

Phase 2- Production

• The production phase is the all the individual elements that will be seen and heard in the video are recorded/gathered. Each element is motivated by the research and analysis done during the pre-production phase.

• These elements, known as media assets, include items such as graphics, photography, animation, music, sound effects, narration, and video footage.

Phase 3- Post-Production• Post-production mainly relates to the

editing of the media assets to form the final product and the distribution of the final product after its completion. Steps in the post-production process include:• Gathering all the media assets• Assembling and editing the media and creating

a final product• Producing the final product in the format/s

required• Distributing the final product• Archiving the final product and media assets

Well Begun is Halfway Done

The further you get up the production pyramid the harder and more expensive it is to fix things you forgot or failed to deal with in the previous stage!
