    The pre-production process

    Requirements for a moving image production

    Types of moving image production

    For our first assignment we have done a 90 second short film for the

    Depict online competition. Depict challenges film makers to get a

    narrative across in only 90 seconds. We did this in our three-man groups,

    our group decided upon a Mockumentary entitledMy life is Death which

    is about a day in the life of Death. However he was just a regular guy

    working his day job. However many other types of moving image media

    exist, such as:

    Serial TV programmes(Soaps)

    Feature length films(Pirates of the Caribbean)

    Vlogs(Video logs)

    Webbisodes(Online series e.g VGHS)

    Music Videos(MTV)

    Adverts(Played on most channels between programmes)

    GIF.Files

    Idents(Often shown before programmes)

    Feature Length Films

    As well as big Hollywood blockbusters such asPirates of the

    Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl(2003) which had a budget

    of $140 million. There are also Low budget films that can

    sometimes achieve just as much success. The most famous of

    these is Clerks(1994) A black & white American comedy which

    was directed by Kevin Smith who also features in the film as

    Silent Bob. The film was shot for only $27,000 in the Video Storeand Convenience store that Kevin Smith worked on prior to his

    Director Career taking off. Upon its release Clerks grossed over

    $3 million, which then launched Smiths director career.

    Serial TV programmes

    As well as episodic or one-off programmes a lot of channels have serial

    programmes. The best example of these are the Soaps (Coronation

    Streetfor example). A lot of Soaps and serial TV programmes take

    episodic form, and are on a specific time and have a continuing story arc

    A cinema release is what it says on the tin. Its when the full length, final

    cut film gets released into Cinemas. The highest grossing Cinema release

    was James CameronsAvatarwhich grossed over $2.8 Billion.

    Finance & Sources of funding

    There are many ways of getting funding for a film. Some are more

    frequent than others, such as;

    Bank Loans

    Crowd funding(Kickstarter/ indiegogo)

    Self-financing

    Private capital/investment(Megan Ellison)

    BFI Film Fund

    Various Government grants Selling right and marketing details

    Crowd Funding

    I didnt do bank loans as I thought they were fairly self-explanatory and

    wouldnt have made for an interesting paragraph. Crowd funding or

    Crowd sourcing is often done by smaller developers or

    developers making their debut. Crowd funding is done

    through sites such asKickstarterorIndiegogo.One such

    film thats being crowd funded is Hardcore Which is theworld first POV action films and a very cool idea. So far they

    are halfway to their $250,000 goal. However films like

    Hardcoreand small indie developers thats are just getting

    started that use crowd funding. Actors/Directors such as

    Zach Braff have used Crowd funding for their own side

    projects, such as Wish you were here. Some people think

    that people like Zach Braff shouldnt be allowed to use sites

    like Kickstarter because they may already have enough

    money or they can ask someone else, whereas smaller, undiscovered

    directors might suffer due to their project being overshadowed by bigger,

    or just more famous projects.

    Private capital/investment

    As well as Bank Loans & Crowd funding, film makers can also look for

    private investment from Money people one such person isMegan

    Ellison,the very wealthy daughter ofLarry Ellison,the chairman orOracle

    Corporationwhich is a multi-million dollar computer company. MeganEllison has so much money she doesnt know what

    to do with it all(lucky for some) so she has started to invest very heavily

    in the film industry, financing films such asKilling them softlyand

    Lawless.

    Various Government Grants

    There are various government grants that film makers can apply for, such

    as theBFI Film Fund. The BFI orBritish Film Instituteis a charity that

    shares out a large pot of money for film projects, whether its

    to help small, indie films get off the ground, or subsidies a

    slightly larger film, they have 26million in Lottery funds to

    share out, however by 2017 their budget is set to rise to

    30million. The BFI was founded in 1933 and has since been

    investing almost 26million a year into UK based independent

    films. The BFI is the main body that deals with film funding,

    while there are others, non are as recognised as the BFI.

    Requirements

    When making a film a lot of things are required such as;

    Talent

    Equipment

    Crew

    Advert Deals(distribution and such like)

    Locations

    Subsidiarys

    Props

    Transport

    Make up

    Costumes

    Accommodation

    Copyright permissions

    Facility houses(Editing software on pcs etc)

    Paperwork

    Above is just a few of the requirements that are needed to make moving

    image media, whether it be TV or film. If a particular production is being

    shot in multiple locations then the whole team will need transport,

    accommodation, etc. Also if its a low budget film and the team doesnt

    have computers with the necessary editing software than they may have

    to hire a facility house which is basically what it says on the tin. Itsplace that production crews can go to make sure that they can edit and

    its often a cheaper alternative that buying all the software and

    computers needed to edit the production from home or from the office.

    However they will then also need to travel to and from that specific

    location, which will then put up the cost of traveling, however over all it

    would be cheaper and more cost effective to hire a facility house ratherthan worry about buying all the software and computers needed to do

    the editing.

    Depict

    For our depict project we also had certain requirements that

    we needed in order to bring our production to life, of

    course most of that was supplied by College, such as the;

    Camera Tripod

    SD card

    Locations

    Editing software and computers

    However the props and costume were done obtained by us, as we

    needed to get a grim reaper costume and scythe which Stuart managed

    to get hold of. If we were filming outside we would have needed to make

    sure that we had gotten permission from both the College(specifically

    our teachers) and the Police, but because the only out of college filming

    we did was at Stuarts house, we didnt need to e-mail the Police,

    although I think Stuart got permission to take the camera home.

    Personnel

    In every production personnel is needed to keep everything running, but

    the amount of personnel needed depends on the size of the production.

    For example a low budget short film will have a different, size cast and

    crew to a TV programme which will have a different size cast and crewto a big Hollywood blockbuster.

    Low budget short

    The crew of a low budget short would one of the smallest, primarily as

    they have a low budget so they would have to be very careful on how

    many people they brought on as it could end up cost far too much! The

    key crew members for a low budget short would be;

    Director Producer

    8/17

    Writer

    Screenwriter

    Set designer

    Costume designer

    Casting director Location manager

    Production manager

    Publicist

    Sound Editor

    Title sequence designer

    The list above gives you a small idea of how many people it would take

    to make a feature film, they are just the important ones, PAs, Runners

    and various other jobs certainly add to the crew size.

    When we were doing our Depict project, we each had a few roles,

    Stuart looked after the prop and costume side of things(he was the only

    one wear a costume and using a prop) I operated the camera and

    gathered some paper work, which I then made sure was on a shared

    document so that we could all put it on our blogs and Lois handled the

    majority of the paperwork. As for the editing we attempted to share it

    out as equally as possibly, when one of our group was away (which

    wasnt very much thankfully) we got them editing as much as possible

    when they got back, so that we all had a fair crack at it. I dont think

    any of us had very much experience, I think Stuart probably had the

    most then me & Lois were about the same. We all sort of fell into our

    roles naturally, we spoke about when we very first started filming and

    we just stuck to them (as you might expect).

    Other contributors- Personnel

    As well as having the cast and crew there is also a lot of other people

    that contribute to creation of a media text, such as;

    Experts

    Interviewees

    Extras

    Presenters

    First aider

    Accountants

    Studio Audience(primarily for TV)

    Those are just a few of the people that would contribute in some way oranother to the creation of a media text. For example, the news wouldnt

  • 8/10/2019 Type of Moving Image Production Essay.

    9/17

    be a very good programme with the presenter or news reader telling

    you whats happening around the world and linking to the various

    correspondents. Similarly, a show like Piers Morgans life stories

    wouldnt be very good without its interviewees. While First Aiders are

    never really seen or heard from by the public, behind the scenes theyare vital to making sure no injuries occur, and if they do the first aider

    can deal with it to stop it getting worse and holding up the production

    which then costs more money.

    Time

    The time frame for our Depict project was two weeks, the first week

    was filming and the second week was editing. We used our time well

    and effectively, we got all our shots and were able to start editing

    slightly before which meant we were able to finish our overall project

    earlier. As a result of this we did try to tidy up and polish our production

    as much as possible. We met all or deadlines and finished quite

    comfortably within that time.

    In the professional media industry everything is done to a very tight

    schedule, because everything costs money, and the production only has

    a limited supply, so deadlines are set to insure that the

    production doesnt over run and cost too much money.

    However if these deadlines are not met then that willcause delays, sometimes things will have to be postponed

    which unfortunately will then cost a lot of money. For

    example if a Crane is hired for 3 days, but it ends up

    being needed for a week then that will cost far more than

    just three days, that also means that the production will

    have fallen behind schedule. Entire films have been

    cancelled because they ran to over budget that then can

    also kill the career of the director because they will be

    seen as too unreliable. Some notable films that went overbudget are; AvatarAlexander The Lone Ranger& TitanicTitanic

    cost $200 million dollars to make. So the film about the ship cost more

    to make than the actual ship! Also Titanic stole the title of most

    expensive film fromWaterworld.

    Our group met our class-set deadlines, in fact we finished quite

    comfortably before the deadline, so we double checked everything,

    polished up our final piece and made sure everything was in order and

    on our blogs.

    Equipment

    In the professional media industry equipment is obtain through facility

    houses usually, which offer a rates card to the production. A rates card

    is simply a card with the rates of all the different pieces of equipment

    on it. One such facility house isThe Hall. There are a number of

    media related services that The Hall offers, these are;

    Film Crews & Kit filming in HD or SD

    A sound proof 30m2 TV studio with blue & green screen

    Avid Symphony Nitris DX editing suite will full broadcast video

    and audio monitoring equipment

    Three HD/SD Avid media composer editing suites

    A HD/SD final cut pro editing suite

    Protools HD audio suite with V/O booth

    Harding FPA testing

    Format conversion suite

    DVD/Blu-Ray authoring

    I couldnt find any prices listed on their website, so it maybe that

    a client would have to contact them about prices.

    During our Depict production we had various equipment available

    to us, such as;

    Camera

    Tripod

    Dolly (or something very similar)

    Studio

    Various locations within college(offices etc)

    Above is just a small list of some of the equipment available to

    us. Unlike in the professional media industry we didnt have to go

    to a facility house, but rather Dave Higgins in the

    AV(audio/visual) Room. So I suppose it was sort of like a

    production house, except its just a room & it doesnt cost.

    Location

    Before filming starts Location Recces are done and Location

    Releases must be signed. A Recce is a few, or maybe just one

    crew member(s) go and observe a location, to see if they would

    like to use it for filming and what preparations would need be

    made. We did a few Recces for our Depict production as weneeded to find a room we could use for a few of our shots, we

  • 8/10/2019 Type of Moving Image Production Essay.

    11/17

    ended up using one of the small offices, which was fairly easy to

    Recce, the only other place we used was the college Lobby, but

    that didnt need to be Recced.During the Recces we did for our

    Depict production we had to count the plug sockets in the rooms

    we wanted to use and make sure there were no safety hazards.

    Location Release

    A location Release is what often comes after a Recce, its a form

    that outlines the terms of the production team using a certain

    location, often keeping it clean and returning it to the way it was

    when they arrived is on there somewhere. A location release must

    be signed by all the parties involved, and is often presented

    during arrival.

    When we were doing our Depict production we chose certain

    locations because they were easy to get to and fit the narrative,

    the first place we used was one small office usually occupied by

    member of staff called Anita. This was easy to use and it fit our

    narrative quite well, as for a couple of scenes we wanted our

    protagonist to be in an office environment. The second place we

    used was the college lobby, for pretty much the same reason, it

    was easy to access and fit the narrative well.

    As most of our film was inside the weather was not too much of

    an issue for us, regardless, we also planned that if it was raining,

    the one shot we needed outside could be shot just inside the

    lobby. Another, and perhaps more substantial issue we faced was

    absences. If one of us was absent that could have messed up our

    schedule, but luckily none of us were off. However we made sure

    that we filmed all the shots in which we needed specific people to

    be there to make it work, first. During the production there is an

    interview scene, however I wasnt filming that, because I was

    absent that day, however we managed to sort it out by Lois

    filming it and the cameraman remaining silent. Lack of equipment

    or lack of location were two more issues we could have faced, but

    by choosing to use college equipment and shooting in college we

    negated that risk to almost nil.

    Materials

  • 8/10/2019 Type of Moving Image Production Essay.

    12/17

    Below is a list of the various materials that may be needed for a

    production. Such as;

    Food

    Costumes

    Petrol Railcard

    Script

    Props

    Documentation

    Equipment

    Achieves

    Above is a small list of some of the things that may be needed for a

    production.

    Financial issues

    Things like;

    Cast

    Crew

    Equipment

    Insurance

    Copyright

    Overall cost

    Can all be labelled as financial considerations or issues. Luckily we had

    very few if no financial issues what so ever.

    Legal issues

    Rights

    Releases

    Copyright(in all its many forms)

    Product placement

    Photos

    Those are some of the legal issues when making a film, although

    that doesnt seem like much, copyright comes in many forms, so I

    have just put copyright on there as a whole and also the various

    rights and releases can take time and money to acquire.

    Copyright

  • 8/10/2019 Type of Moving Image Production Essay.

    13/17

    Copyrightis when a person, band, company or someone else hastheir media text (music, TV shows, logo etc.) patented andcopyrighted. This then means that anyone who wants to usethat media text must pay the owner a certain amount ofmoney. Copyright can be the cause of many films and such not

    being made as it can cause such a huge issue. Howevercopyright is not eternal, it only lasts 70 years, albeit that is along time. Copyright protection is automatically given whensomeone creates;

    original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work, includingillustration and photography

    original non-literary written work, eg software, web content anddatabases

    sound and music recordings

    film and television recordings

    broadcasts the layout of published editions of written, dramatic and musical works

    Copyright acts like a barrier, to stop people from;

    copying your work distributing copies of it, whether free of charge or for sale

    renting or lending copies of your work

    performing, showing or playing your work in public

    making an adaptation of your work

    putting it on the internet

    Luckily for us copyright didnt affect our production as everything in it wascopyright free.

    Clearance is when a certain person, company etc is given permission touse something by someone else. E.g. If I wanted to use one of EdSheerans songs in a film I was making, Id have to get clearance fromhim first.

    Public Liability Insurance is when a production is insured up to a certainamount for damages etc. For example I am Legend Had public liabilityinsurance totalling $5million, but this was due to the fact that they wereshutting down parts of New York City and were using Military personneland vehicles during some of their scenes.

    A completion guarantee is when the investors are given a guarantee thatthe film will be finished. An example of this would be if the film doesntget finished the production the investors will get their capital returned tothem with interest.

    Regulation

    OFCOM

    Ofcom is the communications regulator for the UK they regulate

    everything from Phone lines to TV. They wereformed and operate under the communicationsact of 2003. Ofcom is a government funded andset up regulator, thus they are accountable to

    parliament. Below is a list of all of Ofcoms main legal duties;

    the UK has a wide range of electronic communications services,including high-speed services such as broadband;

    a wide range of high-quality television and radio programmes areprovided, appealing to a range of tastes and interests;

    television and radio services are provided by a range of different

    organisations; people who watch television and listen to the radio are protected

    from harmful or offensive material;

    people are protected from being treated unfairly in television andradio programmes, and from having their privacy invaded;

    a universal postal service is provided in the UK - this means a sixdays a week, universally priced delivery and collection service

    across the country

    Moderate the radio spectrum (the airwaves used by everyonefrom taxi firms and boat owners, to mobile-phone companies and

    broadcasters) is used in the most effective way.

    BBC Trust

    The BBC trust is the regulator of the BBC. It consists of 12 trustees and

    the chairman Rona Fairhead. The BBC trust is different to the executiveboard as all the trustees are appointed by the Queen. The BBC trust is

    different from Ofcom in a few ways, the first one being that only it

    regulates the BBC, secondly the trustees are appointed by the Queen andfinally, the BBC trust answers to the general public and some BBCbigwigs, whereas Ofcom answers only to the government.

    BBFC

    The BBFC are the British Board of Film Classification and they regulate all

    British Films. The BBFC is entirely independent and all its money comesfrom the fees it charges for it services. It has one President and two VicePresidents (clickhereto view their profiles on the BBFC website).

    The BBFC film regulations are;
