Proposal documents
The initial idea for a project must be communicated to the client.
Proposal
A formal written plan produced for others to
assess the validity of a project.
Pitch
Planned presentation of a project to possibly gain
support and financial backing.
High Concept Document
One page document summarising a project.
Project outlines
This document is given to the production team to enable them to know what they need to produce. It allows the team to produce further pre-production documents. The outline must include:
Details of the narrative of the product
Resource requirements
Budget limitations
A timeline of the production
Treatment documents
More detailed than an outline and is useful for:
The production team, who use it as a reference point for the production. Storyboards, scripts and shooting scripts are based off of it.
Shown to client and potential investors so they have a clearer understanding of the final project.
Production schedule
Shows all of the tasks and resources required, together with timescales in the order that they will be created. It should include:
Details of the initial proposal
Key dates (milestones) agreed with the client as
well as final deadline
Details of locations and any transport required
Details of resources such as personnel, props and equipment
Complete details of all the personnel involved, including their roles, responsibilities and skills
Set design
This is the creation of documents that set out how a scene for a TV or film location is set up. Can be in 2D or 3D.
Can be used to work out camera angles and movements as well as helping the production team know what needs to be built.
What are the advantages of set designs?
Set designs allow audiences to see the overall layout of the studio. In relation to the brief this means the kitchen and preparation areas are shown in relation to the audience and presenters.
Set designs allow audiences to visualise the colour scheme through annotations to ensure the brand identity of the programme is instantly recognisable.
Set designs allow audiences to visualise space and size of the studio. This may build up anticipation for any baking challenges the contestants face as part of the fun ethos of the programme.
Allow an evaluation of social media as a suitable feedback method of sharing a set design set document.
What are the disadvantages of set designs?
Set designs will often require visualisation diagrams to accompany them so that the branding is clear in terms of house style.
A treatment document will also be needed to give the rationale for the choice of presenters, props and iconography which is very often not on a set design.

Ethical Issues

What is an asset log?
An asset log is a list of all the assets used during your production.
What is a call sheet?
Calls sheets are used to ensure that on each day everyone involved in the production process knows what is happening and what their role is.
Listed on the document will be the personnel needed, the resources required and the locations they are needed at and when.
By using a daily planner or call sheet there is little room for confusion and for aspects of the production to go wrong.
What is a wireframe?
A wireframe is a low-fidelity (sticky notes and sketches, which is great for high-level brainstorming and collaboration) design layout that serves three simple but exact purposes:
It represents the information that will be displayed on the page
It gives an outline of structure and layout of the page
It conveys the overall direction and description of the user interface.
What is a consent form?
When recording in a location where there are members of the public, permission will be needed from individuals involved, allowing their image or voice to be used. This is also true when using actors; they need to give their consent for their image and/or voice to be used.
What is a storyboard?

What is a script?
The script is the document that is given to all members of production.
This tells them what movements will take place, the actions that actors will carry out, location, time of scene together with dialogue and expressions used. The main parts are action and dialogue.
What is a shooting script?
A shooting script is a development of the script, specifically used during the production of a television product or film. This includes scene numbers, camera angles, shot types and soundtrack information as well as the contents of a script such as dialogue.
What is a release form?

What is a SWOT analysis?
This stands for ‘Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats’. Using these four
headings you can reduce your initial ideas down to one idea that you can take forward.
What is a visualisation diagram?
A visualistion diagram is a diagram that includes a rough sketch of what is going to be included in the production.
