Notes On Differences
Director






A news programme director will just tell people what needs to be done on the day as it is a daily job. An audio-visual promo director or a digital animation director would tell everyone what his or her vision is and everyone else will write, act and produce as to fit with what the director has said.
Producer






Producers will all do very similar jobs for each media product. A producer of digital animation for entertainment would head up all of the other job roles, the same as a producer for TV news programmes would.
Script Writer






Scriptwriters’ jobs vary across this list. A computer game scriptwriter will follow the run of the game based on the actions of the characters, yet a TV news programme will follow a set order of importance.
Budgeting






All pre-production crews will need a budget plan before production can take place, and they all do the same thing. A computer game pre-production team will budget for game artists, writers and voice actors, whereas an educational website will pay to run the website, web designers and people to keep it updated.
Storyboard Artists






A storyboard artist takes the directors first vision and creates something physical. For a graphic novel this would be the artists first draft, and for an audio-visual promo it would be the first vision of the directors ‘image’.
Facilities






The facilities at the pre-production stage of a project are very limited because the crew aren’t on site for much except for meetings. So a TV news programme would need to have suitable facilities for the entire crew (toilets, catering), but a graphic novel wouldn’t actually need any facilities during a pre-production stage.
Lawyers









-     Personnel – the people within the organisation (cast and crew)
-     Purpose – entertainment, information, promotion
-     Financial – what is the budgeting for the project, who needs paying
-     Time – how long will the project take to plan, create and market
-     Location, Resources, Facilities – what facilities (toilets, catering, residence) are needed at each stage of production
-     Legal Issues – making sure that the cast and crew are working to all legal regulations
-     Ethics – making sure that no one is offended by the product, being inclusive throughout the production
