Pre-Production

Resources are a stock or supply of money, materials, staff and other assets that can be drawn on by a person or organisation in order to function effectively.

Resources are used to create a production. I used multiple resources in all my units to help me create production or reports.Without the resources that were available to me, most of my units would have been impossible to complete.

Type of research and unit:
Unit 21, Unit 22 and Unit 29 all tasks.

Codes of practice and regulations are a series of codes, developed in partnership that should be adhered to when undertaking work.

Codes and conventions were used in my work to ensure i understood the regulations of my productions and understand the limits of our productions. Also the codes and regulations helped me understand what i could and couldn't include in some productions, especially in my advertising unit when we had to follow the OFCOM rules. This gave me an insight to what the media industry is like in the real world.

Documentation is material that provides official information or evidence or that serves as a record

The area that we used the most documentation was in the planning stages of the production. We created treatments, scripts and proposals. This helped us have a base for our ideas and when finished it helped our production run smoothly. They were useful as they helped keep our productions well scheduled and to help meet deadlines.
