Planning: Pre-production paperwork - Miss Begum

What is Pre-production paperwork is it and why is it important 

Pre-production paperwork is legal documents and agreements that require to be completed and is legal evidence and permission in what we are producing, who the production includes, and where we are producing it. The paperwork include:

- Client release
-Location Release
-Location recce
-Production schedule
-Risk assessment

These forms are very important ethically, especially the risk assessment as it shows that any dangers that may occur can be covered by the team and avoided. Moreover without the paperwork you may have a high risk of getting into trouble especially when filming in public, which is why you can use the paperwork as evidence on what you are doing and prove  that you are not causing any harm or mischief. For the best result possible and the most efficient paper work, we decided to split the paperwork up between our group.



Client release form:

This paperwork was created to help us recruit an actor. This is a crucial piece of paperwork as it tells people interested in the offer what we expect of them and what they will need to do for us. It also tells them where the production will be posted and who will be able to see it. The paper work is simple to fill in after the terms and conditions have been read which makes it easier and more efficient for the target audience.







































Location recce:

This is a form to show the different locations you plan to use to inform authorities and people in charge why and how you plan to use the  location. It gives information on how to get the the specific location and and the issues that may occur while travelling which is adequate for the group and the actor in the performance.





Production Schedule:

This can be used as a timetable for the production team. It also highlights all the equipment needed for that day, and what time each person is expected. This can save time and help avoid hassle as a team figuring out what is needed and when its needed. As everyone in the group has to agree to the schedule there will be minimal amount of trouble figuring out when to film the production. 



Risk Assessment:
The risk assessment is essential piece of paper work needed before production as it highlights and clearly states the risks that may occur during the production period. As well as the cautions, it has information on how the team plan on overcoming the risks. This is useful for all the production team as it is evidence in showing that risks are thought over which means they are less likely to be faced.








Location Release:
This is a legal document that informs anyone in charge the locations you are planing on using. As well as it being a permission letter to use the location, it also informs authorities on how you plan on using the location and what dates and times you will be using it. Lastly it can be given as evidence to authorities if you are ever questioned on what you are doing in the certain location.
