Effect-to Cause Model:
once you have developed the initial
idea, you move directly to what, ideally, you want the viewers to
learn, feel, or do – this is called the
process message.
The production model suggests that rather than move from the
initial idea to the production, you jump from the initial idea to a
program objective
—the desired effect on the viewer.
Then and only then do you back up and decide on the
medium
requirements
necessary to produce the intended
communication effect.
Medium Requirements
:
re-expressed as workflow that
includes selecting talent, determining technical and
nontechnical personnel, and requesting studio or field facilities
and equipment.
The Production Model
Preproduction:
The preparation of all production details.

production details such as location, crews, and the necessary equipment.
Production:
The actual activities in which an event is recorded and /or televised.
It includes all activities in which an event is video-recorded or televised.
Postproduction:
Any production activity that occurs after the production. Usually refers to either video
editing or audio sweetening (a variety of quality adjustments of recorded sound).
Video & audio editing.
Color correction.
Background music selection
Special effects
Three Phases of Production
Program Objective:
Exactly what is it that you want the audience to know, feel, or do.
Angle:
an angle is a specific approach to the story— a point of view of the event. Effective video
programs often have an angle that is different from the usual treatment of the same subject and is more
relevant to the viewer.
Evaluating Ideas
Is the idea worth doing? It should have a positive influence on someone's life.
Is the idea doable? Do you have or can you get all medium requirements?
If the answer to both these questions is maybe – then don’t go any further.
Preproduction From Idea to Script
Once you have developed the initial idea, you move
directly to what, ideally, you want the viewers to learn, feel,
or do – this is called the
process message.
Understanding the Process Message
Program Proposal
A
program proposal
is a written document that stipulates what you intend to do. It includes the
following:
Program Series or Title
Program Objective:
“the process message is to…”
Target Audience:
whom you would primarily like to have watch the show- the elderly,
preschoolers etc.
You can define the target audience further in terms of demographics – such as gender,
ethnicity, education income, household size, religion and geographical & location.
Show Format:
Is it a series? How long does it run? Is it a 1 hour special? Is it a commercial?
Show treatment:
A brief narrative description of the program. It should explain the angle & plot
fully.
Production method:
single or multi camera set-up? Single camera film-style? Studio production
…etc.
Tentative Budget:
How much do you estimate this will cost?
