LO4- KTA 5 Pre production documents - What are the documents for

Proposals/ treatments/ project outlines- This is where you fully explain your product and ideas to a client based on their requirements so they know what you are creating. All media productions needs a proposal. 

Production schedule/ work plan- This will show when certain tasks are going to be completed and where they are going to be completed. It also tells you the equipment and personnel. All media productions will need a production schedule.

SWOT analysis- This is where an organisation can see their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to a product they are creating. This shows the client you thought about the problems and benefits and also you are taking into consideration the competitors.

Asset log- This where you can keep information for the images or sound that you are going to use. It also tells you where you are getting the asset from with the reference. 

Call sheet- This will tell staff where they are supposed to be on a certain and what time plus the contact information. 

Risk assessments- This is where the place of filming is checked in case there is any hazards that can cause injury. The risk level goes from low risk, medium risk to high risk.

Storyboard- This would be used on a video product as it is a collection of images put into chronological order so that you can see how the scene plays out. It also tells you the shot types, annotations e.g. camera movements, key sounds, editing from shot to shot and which actors are involved.

Script- This would be used for a product where dialogue is being used as it tells the actors what they need to say or what actions to do. 

Shooting script- The final script in the production that uses scene numbers and actions to tell the actors what to do in a more specific way e.g. props and camera shots.

Concept art- It is an illustration that shows an idea for a media product.

Visualisation diagram- This would be used on print based products because it shows the layout and house style of the product with annotations that give reasons for why it looks a certain way. We identify colours, logos, position of images, font styles and types of images.

Flat plan- This is used for a website or an app. They have image boxes with a cross in, text boxes with sample text in but similar to a visualisation diagram, you need to give justification for why you added something in.

Prototype- It is a basic version of a product to show how it works. It is an early working version and is used mainly for a product where the audience interacts with the product.

Page mockup- Specific to magazines and newspaper, shows where the images are going to go along with the title, text and captions. The annotation would relate to the brief.

Set design- Where the presenters are going to stand, where the props are going to be placed. Basically the design of the set.

Form (consent and release)- It is a permission form that means you are allowed to film someone or use something of them.

Site structure diagram- A hierarchical diagram of an interactive production where every link on the home page is detailed. They would need to see this so they know how to operate the app or website.
