Fiducia TogetherDigital media workflow
Pre-production, production and post-production, and the paperwork each stage needs.
Please note: This page explains a word or a process in education. It is general information about the system, the law and the guidance in England — not advice about your child, your school or your exam. If a decision is going against you, get advice from one of the free services we link to before you agree to anything or miss a deadline. If you are revising, check your own exam board's specification: boards word things differently and yours is the one that marks you.
What it is
The workflow runs pre-production (planning, mood boards, storyboards, scripts, work plans, asset logs), production (shooting, recording, creating assets) and post-production (editing, review, export).
Where it applies
Creative iMedia, media studies and film studies.
How it works
Pre-production documents are assessed in their own right. A work plan with dates, a storyboard with shot types, a visualisation diagram, and an asset log recording sources and permissions are all named deliverables on most specifications.
Legal considerations — copyright, permissions, model release — are examined.
How to use it in your work
Do the pre-production properly. It is a large share of the marks and it is what students skip.
Keep an asset log with the source and licence of every image, sound and font you use. It is required and it is referencing by another name.
Export in the right format for the platform and say why you chose it.
Where to get help
Your teacher and your board's specification — these qualifications vary more between boards than the traditional GCSEs do, and much of the grade is coursework marked against stated criteria.
Revise this with a song
These are ours. We write revision songs because a lot of people remember a tune when they cannot remember a page, and because revising out loud in the kitchen beats staring at a highlighter.
