Pre-production planning

Work Planning

Turn a brief into a workable schedule — tasks, workflow, timescales, milestones, contingency and resources.

Ideas Generation Documents

Mind maps and mood boards — what goes in them, who uses them, which tools make them, and how to improve one.

Design and Planning Documents

Asset logs, flow charts, scripts, storyboards, visualisation diagrams and wireframes — conventions, users and improvements.

Legal Protection for Individuals

Privacy, photography permissions, defamation, and collecting, using and storing personal data responsibly.

Intellectual Property Rights

Copyright, trademarks, patents, Creative Commons, fair dealing, licences and the symbols that go with them.

Regulation, Classification and Certification

ASA, Ofcom, BBFC and PEGI — who does what, what the age ratings mean, and how they change a production.

Health and Safety

Hazards, risks and control measures across all three production phases, plus risk assessments and location recces.
