Everything you wanted to know about pre-production
Pre-Production is the process of fixing some of the elements involved in a film, play, or other performance. There are three parts in a production: pre-production, production, and post-production. Pre-production ends when the planning ends and the content starts being produced. In filmmaking and video production, pre-production formally begins once a project has been greenlit. At this stage, finalizing preparations for production go into effect. Financing will generally be confirmed and many of the key elements such as principal cast members, director and cinematographer are set. By the end of pre-production, the screenplay is usually finalized and satisfactory to all the financiers and other stakeholders. During pre-production, the script is broken down into individual scenes storyboards and all the locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual effects are identified. An extremely detailed schedule is produced and arrangements are made for the necessary elements to be available to the film-makers at the appropriate times. Sets are constructed, the crew is hired, financial arrangements are put in place and a start date for the beginning of principal photography is set. At some point in pre-production there will be a read-through of the script which is usually attended by all cast members with speaking parts, the director, all heads of departments, financiers, producers, and publicists. Even though the writer may still be working on it, the screenplay is generally page-locked and scene-numbered at the beginning of pre-production to avoid confusion. This means that even though additions and deletions may still be made, any particular scene will always fall on the same page and have the same scene number. ...
European Commission Unveils New Digital Single Market Proposals
The Commission’s proposals aim to drive cross-border e-commerce in the EU and level the regulatory field across audiovisual media services and online platforms. The European Commission (Commission) announced new proposals with potentially farreaching implications for digital market participants. These include in particular: Modernization of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) Communication on online platforms Regulation on geo-blocking Regulation on cross-border parcel delivery The proposals, as part of the Commission’s Digital Single Market Strategy (DSM), aim to stimulate increased cross-border commerce within the EU and modernize some of the legislative frameworks that govern content diffusion and communications. Please note that even with the current proposals, the Commission’s DSM work is far from complete: More proposals (some of which may be seen as even more impactful and controversial than the current proposals within the audio-visual sector) are likely to take place later this year. The preliminary report of the Competition Directorate on its sector inquiry is also rumoured to be published very soon, which may also provide hints as to whether the Commission is likely to open any antitrust investigations as a parallel effort to break down barriers to e-commerce and promote the DSM. Background – DSM Strategy Just over a year ago, the Commission formally announced its DSM Strategy. 1 The aim of the Strategy is to make the EU’s single market ‘fit’ for the digital age by focussing on better online access to digital goods and services, creating a growth environment for digital services, and networks and ensuring that the European economy takes advantage of the opportunities that digitalization has to offer. As part of its DSM initiative, the...
