why is Pre-Production important 

One example is organisation and time management. These avoid you going over budget and therefore losing money. They also allow you to be able to stay on schedule saving money by not having to hire out the venue for more time than needed when recording your Moving image or Audio piece. Organisation and time management allows you to avoid legal issues as you are prepared and won't get sued by breaking the rules. Having good organisation and time also allows your production to run smoothly as everyone will know what they are doing and therefore be able to deliver the final edit on time. For Example, in Radio production organisation and time management are essential as they need to keep the public updated regularly, one of these is the traffic updates they need to have good organisation and time management to fit these in.

 

Another section is Storyboards and scripts are used to plan their production, and this benefits them as this will not lead top them wasting time and therefore money as the venue expensive and storyboards are also used for creative visualisation. You have to pay the rights for a script, so it can’t be copy righted this will then be drafted multiple times this then enables cast and crew to rehearse. A script is the foundation for everything that happens on set. 

 

A third section of pre-production that is important for a media practical is finance. There are two aspects to this, first the potential sources of finance (such as advertising, sponsorship, subscription fees, cover price, sales and retail prices). The second, the expenditure (covering such elements as equipment, materials, transport costs, crew, personnel, facility hire, clearances and legal costs). This is important because the amount of money you have for your film will dictate the scale of your production and what is possible. 

 

A final section would be logistics this is the process of planning, controlling and executing a media practical task. These allow the production to run smoothly and for everyone to know what they are doing when. This allows the production time to be as short as possible and allowing the spending to decrease as you will be on the set for a shorter amount of time and you won’t have to rent the set for too long and the same for the equipment.
