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;

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

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

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.

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;

12- Video release suitable for 12 year
olds 15- Suitable for 15 year olds
18- Suitable for 18 year olds

Ofcom have a lot of regulations the sections are;
Protecting Minors
Harm and Offence
Crime
Religion Accuracy and Due impartiality undue prominence of views and
opinions
Elections and referendums
Fairness
Privacy
Commercial referencing in TV
Commercial referencing in Radio
Theres lots of regulations, however none would have affect our
depict production because we didnt tackle anything on theregulations list. It wasnt scary, so if the BBFC rated it, it would beeither U or PG and as for Ofcoms regulations, we didnt do anything
that would damage minors, we didnt cause anyone harm oroffence, no crime or religion was portrayed etc. All in all our Depict
production wouldnt have been affected by the regulations.
Trade Unions & Trade Associations
Trade Union
A Trade Union is an organization of works that belong to a trade,
group of trades, or profession. They exist to protect the workersrights and further their interests. Often workers will join a tradeunion for that exact reason, to protect their rights and interests,
however another reason they may join a union is to achieve acommon goal, such as protecting the integrity or other aspects of
their trade. Some examples of trade unions are;
NUT(Teachers union)
BALPA(Airline Pilots union)
CATU(Ceramic & Allied trades union) ATL(Education union)
