PLANNING SHEET
Production Stages:
There are 3 production stages when producing any video or film.
Depending on the project, the pre-production stage can take anywhere from years (feature films) to over
the course of a day (daily news reporting.)
The pre-production planning is the most important stage as this is when an idea takes shape and
determines the direction of the segment.
Assignment Task:
Duration: 2 periods (Friday/Tuesday)
Topics must/should:
1. Topic must be school appropriate - must be respectful of all
2. Topic should be relevant and of interest to the student body (many but not all)
3. Choose a segment topic that is not time-sensitive (ie. sports highlights)
Brainstorming Norms
1. There are no bad ideas
2. Everyone need to have/take the opportunity to contribute
3. Be sure to write down all ideas during this planning stage (your team will submit this document as
evidence of your engagement in the Pre-production process.
Remember to cite your sources - website link - required to honour Canadian Copyright laws
Think the following: who, what, where, when, and why about your segment
These are the basic piece of information you should think about when planning any video segment -
what’s the point?
Supporting Visuals production elements:
What supporting visuals will your team use to make your segment visual.
Each group must include:
Graphics:
1. Lower Third (min.2 - host and question being asked)
2. Slabs - Min. 3, Full page with stats and facts
3. Full page with stats or facts - research online to provide ideas of what kind of information they
can include
“B” -Roll - visuals you shoot or download depending on your topic (must cite source)
Voiceover (V/O) - must include scripted V/O narration to advance the story and link main ideas
Teacher will conference with each team to discuss production plan. Each student will be expected to
answer questions about the team’s decisions and thinking around the planning of the segment. This will
form part of each individual student’s mark.
Part 2:
Each student will write a 15-20 second intro (about 4-6 sentences) that would introduce the story.
Your goal is to introduce the segment in a creative way that will engage your audience and have them
wanting to watch the segment.
Interview Planning:
Each item MUST include student interviews related to your group’s topic
Interview Questions:
For effective interview you need to plan what would be interesting to ask. Remember, your goal is to
collect fun or interesting information from the student body. It is the answers that matter but it will be
what questions are asked and how they are asked that will result in interesting answers.
Interview Questions:
What questions you ask people and how you ask the questions will determine the effectiveness of the
answers. Make a list of at least 4 interview questions on the topic. You first question may not get great
responses but one of the other questions may. It may take you line of questioning in a different direction.
