Pre-Production Theory

So you wanna make a Video?

Well, Do you think you're ready? think you can jump headfirst in and make a masterpiece? Well hold your horses ,all great works took proper planning and time so here well walk you through what you need. 

So what production are we going for? 

So the main 3 forms we are going cover in this informational guide are Tv, Film and YouTube.

TV: 

You'll need to create an equipment list, Time sheets, Backup Plans, Risk assessments, If non set based then location scouting.
These would be fitting for tv as they meet the requirements needed to produce a comptent show :)

Film: 

You'll need to create Asset log, Budget sheet, Call sheet, contract details , footage log, location permission forms, Release and consent Agreement, Story boarding Risk assessment, Research, Script, Script breakdown.

These would be used in both showing investors and when changing ideas based on restrictions ^..^.

YouTube:

Necessary:

Upload scheduled, Thumbnail ideas, Equipment list, Contact list, Editing time, Render allowance time

Optional:

Collaboration timetable, Social media links, Idea notebook, Sponsorship agreements, Copyright cheeks..

How will you Manage time?

TV:

Working on a tv set is like a nine till five job in the sense you have set hours you are meant to come in to record, This can change depending on what is needed to be reordered for example the news is live so would be filmed as such whereas a show like pointless can be recorded in bulk as it has no showing of timed live events.

Film:

For film you are usually provided with a call sheet of where and when to be along with contact detials of anyone else going there in case of assistance needed. 

YouTube

As for YouTube, Unless you are under a network you are usually under your own time constraints. Despite this to gain an audience its usually best to create an upload schedule based on your country time zone and target demographic.
