The Five Stages of Production



The Five Stages of production

There are five stages; these are: Research and Development, Pre Production, Production, Post Production, Distribution and Exhibition.

- Research and development
For the research and development of our pop video we will research the target audiences for each video by identifying them by age, gender, social class and likes and dislikes. We will also be looking at other pop videos that target the same audience as we need to know our competition and their ideas


- Pre production
The pre production of our video will be the part that will most like take up most of our time but be very vital to our video as the more organised we are before hand will then make our shoot day much easier. We will make a full call sheet which will entail a full list of our cast, locations, people on set, props, wardrobe, makeup and anything extra. We will also confirm our cast before hand and sort out our location and any necessary permission we need to film there.

In our development we will need to do a cast and camera test to make sure our cast fits our requirements for our video. As most of our ideas our very visual we will spend some time doing a full storyboard with animatics so as to be able to get a grasp on the visuals that we will see on screen. Once we have pitched our idea to our film teacher we will need to go through the practicalities and things that we will be capable of doing to then turn our idea into a reality.


- Post Production
Our post production can be just as important as the shoot day as a good edit and the precision is what will make our video that much better and make all the difference. We will be editing one or two lesson a week after our shoot day and during any of our free time.

- Distribution and Exhibition
Distribution and Exhibition is what will make our video more public and so things we will need to look at will be established T.V stations, internet sites such as Facebook or My Space and any other publicity that we can get such as word of mouth, posters and more. We will need to advertise in a way that will intercept with our target audience in order for them to take notice.
