Milestones

Describe the tasks that must be completed during planning, production, and editing to insure a successful project. Include items such as legal issues, sponsor cooperation, talent, lighting, sound, videography, and so on. List tasks in chronological order. Identify tasks to be worked in parallel.

Note: to save time, use the process tables and jot down the required process names and activity codes.










Finances

Order of Complexity Per Minute
Single location, single camera setup, three to four different scenes. $250
Single location, multiple camera setups, up to a dozen different scenes. $500
Multiple locations, multiple setups, up to two dozen scenes. $750
Production complex enough to require formal design. $1,000
