Evaluating Pre-production Documents

Evaluating Pre-production products

Evaluating the effectiveness of pre-production documentation is vital in ensuring that the final version that is sent to the production team is effective. If documents aren't checked, they could be the cause of a major planning problem,so its important that the quality of the documents is evaluated.

How to evaluate:
The documents need to be considered in relation to:
- Suitability of content for meeting the brief and usefulness in aiding the production team in producing the product.
- Suitability of content for the target audience.

When evaluating language use:
- Positive language 
-Consideration for the original designer/creator
-Specific feedback on any suggested improvement - Justifying why it would make the document more effective.

Floor plan/Set design
- No annotations - So the crew(director, cameraman etc) Know what goes where (Logo -> Tells us its sports related)
- No colours = Unaware of the genre.
- Characters are wearing no clothes/Costume -> Unaware of genre/demographic
- Clear layout
- Includes lighting, characters, physical set
- There are no measurements -> We don't know how big the area/space is
- Its clear the set is for a mass/sports show
-No positioning for cameraman 

Production schedule
- Clear structure -> Weeks are outlined so that each department knows what is going on
- Colour coding - Each department has their own colour(give different colours to avoid confusion)
- Could make it more interactive 
- Very generalised, not entirely accurate (Dates? Times?)
- Clearly related to an animation as its the biggest chunk
- Project manager is in charge of this
