A location release form is given to the people who own land that is used in the product to give permission to say you can use the  location.
A call sheet is used to organise personell and props, it is used for anything that is filmed and/also taking photographs. you would make a call sheet everytime you went out to film something new.

Production scedules mock exam question

Identify one type of project management tool that could be used to keep track of the project tasks and explain why it sutible for this task
One type of project management tool is a production schedule which is a schedule with time limits, resources, revenue streams and tasks in it. It is good for this task as it would make sure all things that are needed to complete this task aRE ORGAnised and the product is finished for the deadline. a software that could be used is exel.

The word 'because' hasn't been used, 'production schedule' words used, also explained that Excel could be used as an organisational tool. Management could also buy a diary as another tool and allocate staff to certain tasks. Production schedules also allows staff to be allocated to tasks.

Assessor: Francesca Murray


1. What does crowdfunding mean?
Crowdfunding is when a company can't afford to mass produce a product so they ask the public for help (donation), so the public give them money for the product and they usally get rewards in return.
 Correct.

2. State two advantages for an independent project.
Your company gets to pick exactly what the final product will be like and you will get all the money made off the product.
Your project is not influenced by a conglomerate.
Pay less wages.
Social media can be used as free advertising (facebook,Instagram, Twitter)

3. State two dissadvantages for an indipendent product.
You won't have subsidiarys to advertise on and you may not have as much money for the product as a conglomerate would have.
Difficult to get recognition.
If you aren't known/have a fan base it can be hard to get donations.
