Unit 2 Electric Boogaloo - Pre-Production and Planning

This is a 2D representation of how all articles and adverts are laid out on a page or how the elements of the page (or screen in the case of an interactive product) fit together. This allows the designer to see if proportions are correct and all elements are included. The detail for each aspect is not included; this is purely a layout tool, where changes can be quickly and easily carried out prior to production. A flat plan can also be used to view the layout of a set for TV production to check that elements fit together and that camera placement and movements can be achieved as required. Knight-Higgs Shoes Flat Plan:

This is a rough diagram of a plan for a product, usually a static one such as the layout of a page or a diagram within an animation. These are used to check that what is being produced will work and that the objectives of the product are being met. Knight-Higgs Shoes Website Visualisation: I failed miserably to annotate the actual thing so here's what I would've put: The logo is prominently displayed at the top of the page, clearly showing the name, branding and slogan of the company. Below this is a series of simple links to the various categories of product available on the site, which will likely present drop-down menus of more options when clicked or moused over. Below this is an automatically rolling carousel which I for some reason spelled without a U in the heat of the moment of images showing products available from the company and people owning and enjoying their KH shoes. Below this  is a series of links to specific featured, new or popular products. Aesthetically pl...

I have no idea why Mr Sir thinks I have any artistic talent whatsoever but here we are. This is used to convey an idea during the planning stage in a media production. Examples of this are the illustration of fantasy characters for a computer game or of a concept car during the production of a 3D digital model of a new product. These allow decisions to be made having seen a representation of the character or scene. Tommy needed more paper so I gave him mine and gaslit Mr Sir into thinking he didn't give me any. Lmao. Knight-Higgs Shoes Concept Art: I appreciate that this is horrendous, but oh well.

Scripts: The document given to members of the production team, telling them what movements will take place and what actions will be carried out by the actors, along with their dialogue and expressions to be used. The main parts of a script are the actions and dialogue required. The action is written in the present tense while the dialogue is written as a character would deliver it. Scripts also include slug lines (scene headings) that state three important pieces of information: - Whether the scene is an interior or exterior scene. - The location where the scene is shot. - The time of the scene, when it takes place. Example: The birth of Travis: Knight-Higgs Shoes Script: We open with an external shot of Luke's Bagel Shop, before cutting inside. We see Mr. Luke, manning the till as a child approaches with a bagel. Mr. Luke: What? Child: Can I have this bagel please Mr. Luke sir? Mr. Luke leans forwards and looks down over the counter at the child's shoes. Cut to POV shot as he ...

These rank hazards on the basis of likelihood to happen and severity if it was to happen. If a risk has a high severity but a low likelihood, it is still not as serious as one with lower severity but higher likelihood. The assessment covers the hazard; the people at risk of harm; the property at risk of damage; steps already taken to prevent this; further action required; confirmation of the further action being taken and so forth. These are part of the recce (' recky ') process. This is the pre-production visit to a location before any filming can be done and allows the crew to assess any potential risks in order to take whatever steps are needed to prevent them. In other words: A risk assessment (or recce, pronounced ‘recky’) is the pre-production visit to a location before filming or recording can begin. During the visit any issues concerned with camera angles, lighting and acoustic details can be checked out. Any health and safety considerations can also be look at so that ...

This is essentially a list of all the resources used during a media production. This is used to check any legal issues that could arise from their use, such as copyright and permissions. The asset log includes the title of the asset together with the reason for its use along with its ownership details and any permissions required, with the inclusion of whether these have been gained yet or not. Evaluation: Asset Logs help the producers to avoid legal issues with regards to copyright. They also allow producers to keep track of what has and hasn't been paid for, and make finding, accessing and/or updating relevant legal documents easy, and allows for them to be provided if needed (e.g. due to a legal challenge or financial audit). At the end of the production, it enables producers to check that all assets are accounted for and returned (if relevant). It should include specific details of each asset, to identify it clearly. It should also include the location of the relevant legal or ...

A project outline is the initial document given to the various members of a production team. The purpose of this is to provide the team with enough detail about the project so that they are clear about what is to be produced. The members of the production team will need to use this document so that they can then plan further details of the project. From this, they will produce further pre-production documents. The outline should include: - Details of the narrative of the product. - Resource requirements. - Budget limitations. - A timeline of production.
