The focus of the first stage is to understand the needs of our clients, this being an idea or planned project. Our aim at this point is to scope the following information:
- Details of the Idea or project in mind
- Schedule, length, location of the production
- The distribution channels the client wishes to use including Web, TV, Cinema or made available to an event
- production management, creative talent, technical crew required
- Budget allocated to the production
- Roles and Responsibilities between client and JR Media Productions
- Administrative requirements including, insurance, permits, copyrights, etc.
After collecting this information, we progress to the quoting stage where we might need to gather further details of the project in order to complete an accurate quote. Our standard quote is based on hourly or daily labour pricing and material cost.
As soon as the client approves the quote, pays the required deposit and signs the appropriate forms, the production process is ready to commence and move to the pre-production stage. For smaller projects where the scope is to film only, the six stage process will be reduced to what is required of the project.
