It is important to have finances in place before production starts, as every
producer needs to pay for Equipment used such as Cameras, tripods, green
screen, lighting and sound. For an Advert production for example, a producer
may also need materials such correct costumes, items for correct mise-en-scene
and talent in order to fulfil the desired effect. Crew will also be needed such as
cameraman, soundman lighting engineer researchers editors and runners in order
to produce a professional looking advert.
Once all is complete facilities such as editing suits and postproduction equipment
will be needed and these cost a lot of money.

Importance
It is important that proper financing is in place, this is because it
turns a media product dream Into reality. it funds everything from
equipment to transportation and much more. it is up to the
producers of the movie to determine how big a budget a production
receives. For example Baz Luhrmans production of The Great Gatsby
Cost 190 million dollars whereas Paranormal activity cost 15'000
dollars in its entirety. Equipment such as green screens dollies and
lighting will need to be hired as well as talent in the form of actors
and production crews. Proper costume to build the mis en scene will
be needed to produce a realistic media product and facilities will
need to be hired in order to edit it post-production to create a
finished item.

Time:
Deadlines
Availability of equipment
Availability of personnel (size of
team; roles)
Importance
Deadlines are important as they lay out the strict timings that a
production needs to run to. For example in an advertising production
the company might have their set booked out for 5 days, this means
they have 5 days to complete filming or they will have to pay a
large amount to keep on filming.
If a member of the team or a piece of equipment is unavailable
whenever the set is booked out it therefore means that they will
need to move the booking so they don't waste time on their set and
potentially run over their deadlines. Running over a deadline can be
disastrous in terms of shooting schedules organization and
budgeting as they owner of the set will charge a lot more to keep
them on the set if they over stay their booking.

Facilities:

Importance
Production equipment is important as it is what makes the product,
it can come in the form of cameras tripods Russian arms whatever is
specifically needed to meet the vision of the client. Specialised
equipment as well and standard equipment like soft box kits and
tripods can be rented online as well as transportation. Some sites
also offer crews that come with the equipment.
post production is just as important as the production itself as that
is what tell the story. Some major production companies will edit
their projects in house with a team of editors that are employed by
them. However other companies can rent out post production
studios which offer the facilities they require including sound

Importance
It is important to have original material because that is what
makes the story unique. If something was comprised entirely of
archive material there would be nothing to define the film as It
would all be other peoples work. Original material also showcases
the talent in the form of editors directors actors and many more.
However in some cases it is more cost effective to use archive
material. For example if a film about space was being produced it
would be likely that the company could not afford to send their crew
and actors to space so archive footage purchased from NASA could
be edited in, in post-production to provide the illusion that they
were in space. Photo library materials are also Important. This is
when an Image that someone else has taken can be purchased and
used a popular example of a photo library is Getty Images which can
often be seen mentioned at the end of film credits for provided
images.
Sound library materials work in the same way as photo library
materials. Examples of this can be explosions. One of the most
popular pieces of sound library material is the Wilhelm scream,
originally recorded outside of the set in warner bro's studio it has
been used in over 300 films when a character falls from a great
height.
The internet is an important tool in the media industry as it can be
used for extensive research. Returning the film about space
example, before the film goes into production a team of researchers
might be employed to research the science of space travel so that it
can be recreated accurately on screen.
It is important that audio in films is done right, this is because it is
what makes the films cohesive and understandable. If sound is
recorded poorly, it can make the product hard to watch as the
quality will stop the audience from becoming immersed.
Clear scripting is important as it tells the actors what it is that they
need to do and say and helps provided information for the editors
and show runners. Poor scripting can mean that a set can become
badly organized as It could become difficult to work chronologically

Locations:
Importance
There is a large importance on Recces due to a variety of different
reasons such as, lighting, safety, sound and many others. Location
recces allow us to look into all of these factors as to why a place is a
good place to shoot or not. Firstly lighting Is something that is an
important aspect of each production, so if the production required
that the crew had to film in a tunnel there would need to be
preparations for lighting and sound. The location recces allow
people to plan ahead, informing and showing the information about
a particular place. Distance is important to know due to talent and
crew having to travel to location if the production company cannot
afford to take the talent to the ideal location they would have to
rethink their set. The same applies to weather as it can effect
safety, you need to make sure that it's safe to travel and safe on
location. And cost would occur with the particular location for
example if a production wanted to rent a hall, that may cost money,
or props will cost money.
