Pre-Production Materials

For Wayne's Maze Game there are many things we need to consider. 

• Available Finance; Making sure you have the right funds for  various different resources, personnel and the production of the game.

• Personnel; People who work along side you in working on the production. For example; Voice Actor, Musicians, Illustrator, Producers, Programmers or developers.

• Resources Available; Resources such as cameras, computers or various other equipment may be rented/hired out, therefore its important to make sure you hire them for long enough to ensure they are available to you throughout the project.

• Prepare Budget; Planning a budget is important to ensuring that the finance available is enough to pay for what is needed. Also to know where money has been spent and on what.

• Contract Personnel; Some personnel may be working on the project for a few hours, like a Voice Actor, however others, such as a Programmer will be working on the project for the duration. So a contract will need to be drew up and signed.

• Prepare Schedule; Ensuring that everything goes to plan is important to completing the project on time. Having a schedule helps everybody to know what needs to be done and when.

• Health and Safety Concerns; Its important to have all of the health and safety checks done on a regular basis, ideally daily. This insures no harm to any of the personnel, or equipment being ruined.

• Identify Legal Aspects; Things such as copyright, plagiarism and standards all need to be considered when planning and producing a project. Ensuring all work is original and all of the relevant agencies are involved is very important. 

• Risks to Project; The main risk to the project would be for work to not be saved, resulting in having to redo parts of the project,
