Types Of Production In Different Parts of Media (Pre-Production)

Types of Production (Pre-Production)

Print
In the print industry time is always an issue as if the magazine or news paper is a weekly or even daily subscription the product will need to be finished for the dead line to be met by the company also finance is a key ingredient as paying for the staff the journalist the editors etc. also if you are doing a magazine such as a gossip magazine asking celebrities for an interview costs time which also cost money. this money is paid for by the magazine company which is paid for by the customers who pay for the magazine.

Television
Similar to print time is always a key factor in the television industry the time in which you record the program edit the program and finalise the edit takes a lot of time also if the program is a weekly show or  daily program time is always important as the show has to go on by the deadline. finance is another key factor with television there is a lot you have to pay for and work out the total cost of it all. this can range from hiring actors,renting equipment,recruiting employees and paying for location if that need be.

Furthermore if the program is a new pilot series hiring staff is essential  which involves advertising the roles which will either require a job agency or posting the job advert on a media specific website for people wit the skills for this job.

Another thing is the equipment is the equipment industry standard or better then standard if the equipment is rented how long have you got the equipment and make the most of it. One final thing is audience or channel licensing where will this program be broadcasted and in what time window as this will  be viewed by an audience which specific time window will it posted which will also link to finance and time.

Photography
With the photography industry as any other media industry money and time are the two main key factors to its success for instance the equipment will either be paid for or rented if the camera rented you have a payment fee for a limited so this time must be used effectively this also links to renting a studio and hiring models if the model is a celebrity this will cost a much more high price.

Linking to time for the time you have for the studio,models and equipment all of this time is essential; if the photos have to be done for a deadline in the photographers contract it will have to meet the deadline.

Also hiring employees if they are freelance there time is key as they are there to make the final product for you or to help in pre-production and the final production.


Audio
In the music industry if the recording artist has a contract to release three albums in six years thats one album per two years. the technician is responsible to keeping that deadline once having an artist to record.

Next is to rent the studio to do the song recording and the vocal recording this will pay for the studio the time in which you have the studio for and the equipment this will also link to time as you will need to meet the contract deadline. so how long will you need this studio for this will also involve hiring the studio technician and any other required staff also the band or artist as well as it is there career in your hands and most artists are either nice or divas which can either be a good or bad situation to be in depending on the artist you are working with.


Film
Probably the most critical in the media industry film is the most cost effective and time consuming in all the media world. If for example you are making a hollywood blockbuster hiring all the staff for the shoots such as editors,camera technician,producer,director etc. the list goes on this also requires recruitment or having contacts from the industry.

This will involve pitching your idea to major film labels for the movie to be made if they approve of your idea they will pay for all the hassle but this is there money and there time you are consuming.

If the movie has to be out with in a year this will involve you to not the time of shoots the time spent filming ,editing and time spent making the film get hype from the other media industries.

Hiring actors and extras involves  a lot of work and is expensive : the actor make the movie sometimes the director but mainly the actor make the movie more know so paying for them and there time is critical as the production team and the actor make or break your movie into a block buster or into a dud this is all determined by the box office and the revenue you make.
