LO3: Production Schedules and Forms

I think a production schedule includes:
Dates (milestones) for tasks to be completed, e.g. all shoots - with specific details about the shoots
Talent timings and availability
Resources (hardware and software) (can also be cast and crew) equipment details - arrival of cameras etc.


I think this is important because without it the production wouldn't be as efficient as it could be, resulting in a lower quality product. It allows organistation in the various stages of production (pre, production and post)


Who would use it?:
Producers (who would make it)
Directors
Cast
Pretty much everyone

Project Management Tool (allows you to manage a project):
Microsoft Excel - allows you to make tables to seperate different tasks
Can easily add information


Plenary

Identify one type of project management tool that could be used to keep track of the project tasks and explain why it is suitable for this task [3].


Excel would be a useful projecty management tool for this task. This is because it can easily seperate different parts of the task - research into road safety, coding etc, into sperate tables to be handled and processed easier and without confusion. It can also be accessed via the Cloud, along with any other documents that would be needed, allowing it to be used with ease anywhere, which would be important as different groups would be able to tick off tasks simultaneously.

The project mangagement tool is the production schedule, the schedule would be made using Microsoft Exel. 0 marks.

The production schedule would allow the company to keep track of certain tasks and the activities involved, and more importantly the weeks in which they need to be completed for.
