Methodology

The following is a rough guide for first-time clients. This is what you’ll have to do:

First, invite us to a meeting to discuss the project focus, the primary audience, and a proposed style.

Pre-production phase:

• Identify key players, possible scenarios and likely venues.
• Identify suitable dates and check availability of all involved.
• Secure permission from people to be filmed.
• Agree outline shooting script and schedule with Chapelgate.
  

Production phase:

• Make sure that relevant people are where they’re supposed to be.
• Make sure that relevant locations are available as planned.
• Leave it to us, or get involved…as you please.
  

Post-production phase:

• Provide us with logos and acknowledgements for inclusion in the film.
• If you can, spend a day in the edit suite, working with the editor to make changes to a roughcut “on the fly”.
• A day or two after this, you’ll receive a version on DVD with on-screen timecode. Use the timecode to identify further required changes.
• When you receive an approval version on DVD or as a downloadable file, show it to anyone who needs to see it. For your own sanity, keep this number small.
