Video Project Planning
You want to produce a video (program) to document something. Here are some questions to help direct your thoughts and to plan for what is needed to be done at various stages. It is important to think about what you want to accomplish and the time required.
Objectives
What is the goal of the project? What do you want to end up with?
Who will be the audience, who is expected to be viewing the result?
Who is the “stakeholder,” the person(people) who will approve the result? (Will they be available during the project execution to consult with or review progress?)
Budget
Does the project have a budget, and what does it cover?
How will spending be managed?
Schedule
What is the timing of the project? (When will work start and when is the deadline for it to be completed?)
Execution (recording)
Who will find and qualify the people to interview?
Who will schedule & coordinate the interviews?
Who will prepare a list of questions to be asked during the interview? (review beforehand with person being interviewed)
Who will be doing the interviewing?
How will interviewing be done?
- Remotely (using Zoom or similar)?
