PRODUCTION SCHEDULES
The production schedule should reflect the most realistic intended schedule for pre-production, the actual shoot or production and post-production through to delivery of the completed film/video. In addition to being an important document that tells the producer when certain tasks are to happen, it provides needed information to investors such as broadcasters who want to know when they can schedule the production for airing.
An example of a production schedule for a fictional project follows below. Please note that each schedule will vary depending on the genre, subject matter and size of budget.
