LOGISTICS: TIME: DEADLINES
What is a deadline?
A deadline is when a project or a piece of work has to be somewhere, with someone by a certain date and/or time. If deadlines are not met then it will have a big effect on the events after.
In film production they are very important for pre-production because the director has to make sure everything is finished on time so everything can run smoothly and not go over budget and so no-one is lost during the extension of the film making.
When in the pre-production stage the film maker has to do many tasks before the end of a deadline. These tasks may include; scripting and story-boarding, locations (recces and confirming), castings, costume designs, effects on the film which support the narrative in its final release. Just before all the pre-production finishes and all of the tasks are done the director has to sit everyone down for a read through the script, this then can't be done if the other tasks aren't done. Everyone on a film set has to avoid going over a deadline as much as possible because there could be very big consequences like the film not being able to be released, having the budget gone over and not being able to pay for it. If the film does not go out that will also ruin the filmmakers reputation with everyone who has worked on the crew and cast but also the film industry because they will be seen as inexperienced and not able to time manage properly. Deadlines also really help film production because it's when you think of backup plans for if something goes wrong, for example if someone is sick or if equipment is broken, because if something like that happens it then means everyone knows what to do if something bad happens during the production stage. Pre-production deadlines usually last about 4-5 weeks depending on which director is on set and when the filming starts.
