A2 The formats for pre-production processes
Templates for scripts-
A screenplay is written by screenwriters for the film there are three main components are character, plot and theme these three are important key components to what makes a successfully screenplay which leads to a successful production as a whole.
What is a slug line-Which can also be called a master scene heading it commonly is at the start of every scene. A slug line has many of elements that are key to a successful slug line INT/EXT this shows weather the scene or the short is took inside or outside, TIME this prefebley mentioned about usually day or night this is where it will be clarified for example weather it is morning or evening etc. The slug line is very important as it can have a positive effect on the production as a whole it helps the director and the rest of the team know what to follow and where the shot is being taken.
written storyboards or visual storyboards-
A storyboard can be clarified as a graphic organiser which consists of many images and illustrations which are displayed in images of a certain sequence it mainly resembles how the story will flow and it helps the director to see how the shots come together in the real thing, it can also help the director and there crew realises where there are problems in the production and the scenes and how they flow together.
A storyboard is what should help the director and the camera crew etc and the crew as a whole realise and follow the scenes in a certain order that they know flows and makes the film smooth and good, there are many benefits to what a storyboard brings to the production some in which is its easy to follow if it is structured in the right way which gives the crews a idea to follow.
Visual storylines vs written storylines
What is a visual storyline-It is commonly a story that is told through visual media there are many types of media that can be used are photography, illustration, or video and they both help cast and crew to understand what the director wants in the film, this includes where characters and set in the
frame is placed, this can also include props. And then on the other hand a written storyline is commonly represented through a screenplay. Depending on
the director’s background, not just in film, helps them to pick what they like
best; written or visual. Every director has a different skill set therefore
they are stronger in some elements and weaker in others. Other
directors trained and have an art background, therefore they help out with the
sets and have a clear vision when reading the script for the first time,
compared to other directors who don’t know what they should do for a set so
they ask the team for help.

Revising and discounting ideas-
Overall deciding the prodction idea can be hard so there are a wide range of techniques in place which helps the director or the prodcuer narrow down to one idea and start tyhe pre prodcutiopn stages for example on method is SWOT analysis this stands for strengths,weakeness,oppurtuniyty and threats by using SWOT it will help them be able to establish which ideas they want to takeforward so bassically the strengths are the characteristics that that give an advanatage over others like competiors,weakness are where the idea isnt so strong and then oppertunites are the featurs that can be used to promote the prodcut etc adverts and then lastly threats are simplifed as the features that cause problems for exaple where idea might be simular to a competior.
Another method which can be used is the descion matrix this involves thinking about what factors are important in choosing the best idea and giving these a point score and a rank orderUsually the idea with the highest point score is the idea that should be taken forward.
Another method is feedback this is doing research and finding out information on current customers and new customers and see what there opion on the idea and if they would watch as that is the most important to thing to know which can then result in sales as it will be purchased to watch.https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zxyxtyc/revision/12Visualizing content-

Establishing feasibility (expertise, costs, timescale, logistics)
Speclitsits are normal hired because there specfic role or strength in that area of rpodcution they can typically be hired to oversee highly techniqual skills and jobs which another member of the crew can do or to even train not so highly skilled memebers of the crew how to havw strong areas in prodution,technical spealislist are the people that are nessecery to succsefully produce a certain scnece or part of the prodcution for example if a plane scece is needed they will need a speclist plane driver etc.Another speclistst is speclist trianers for example in a fight scene they actors will need to know how to fight and it is the trainers job to teach them in a short period of time how to do it and make the prodcution look good.They is also experts that may need to be recurited for example to give the prodcuer accrtute facts and information whioch he can put into his prodcution to make it look as realstic as possible.
Costs
The BFI network commonly fund short films with there funding programe it is open to surporting a wide range of films and genres it helps up in coming prodcuers to get realised and bring new ideas to the prodcrtuion and the industry they fund the short film maker with around £15,000.overall the BFI assistion has a funding programe to which they wantr to help up in coming proedcuers kick start there carrer and get noticed by big compnaies
Timescales
Timescales are the overall deadline for the product as a whole,the are many issues that can affect a media production for example lack of facilitates,personal and equipment,when making any media production the producers and the key crew members need to ensure they have availability of personal and time needed.Each of the crew members are selected for there reliability and ability to fulfill responses and meet tight deadlines,if this fails in one department or more this can have a domino effect meaning the other departments will nsuffer over one departments mistakes. A production schedule is broken down as a project plan of how much money is spent over a given timescale,the scheduling process starts whit the script which then spoken down and this is done scene by scene this will also include the breakdown of the grips and props and camera and the crew needed for each scene this is all broken down on a breakdown sheet this also helps the different departments to know when they are needed and what equipment they need.
