The production process will vary depending on the type of media
you are working with. Most projects go through a clarification
stage at which point you will better understand the project requirements
in terms of development time, media formats, content requirements,
team and budgetary considerations.
The production techniques employed in practical terms differ
considerably between mediums, so to produce a television programme
you will need to follow a different route to that of producing
a website, but there are a number of principles which can be applied
to most projects.
The practical production process will be heavily
dependent upon budget, timescale and the client. It may not always
be possible to employ the same practical design methods and techniques
on a project so the production process has to be flexible.
The most important aspect of the production process is that the
objective is met within the defined boundaries. How you get to
that final solution whilst maintaining quality must be a matter
of informed judgement, in depth understanding of production processes,
good skill levels and efficient planning.
