It is important to have finances in place before production starts, as every
producer needs to pay for Equipment used such as Cameras, tripods, green
screen, lighting and sound. For an Advert production for example, a producer
may also need materials such correct costumes, items for correct mise-en-scene
and talent in order to fulfil the desired effect. Crew will also be needed such as
cameraman, soundman lighting engineer researchers editors and runners in order
to produce a professional looking advert.
Once all is complete facilities such as editing suits and postproduction equipment
will be needed and these cost a lot of money.

Importance
Deadlines are important because they push us, we have to get
everything done so we can get it in on time but in the media
industry this maybe hard as you need to have time when people in
your crew such as actors and camera men are free to film the work,
what often happens is that we may not know how long something
will take so we decided to do it at a later date but deadlines are
there for a reason and they are to get it done in time and some of
the deadlines have consequences.

Importance
We need production equipment is important because we need to
right software to make the film production professional, it would be
impossible to complete the production to the set deadline without
having the right production equipment, you need the highest
standard of equipment such as camera, microphone and sound so
the film is and looks professional, having the correct editing suit is
crucial to the production as you need the best software, a software
that I would use is Adobe Premier Pro as it is a professional editing
suite, facility houses are needed as you need the right equipment
around you to make the film or advert.

The risk of filming on location is that it might take time to get there
and having all your crew free to film might be hard and for the to
get there maybe difficult, the cost will have to be included in the
budget and the cost may vary depending on where you film,
depending on weather you may have to film on a different day as it
might not suit the film, also the lighting on the specific day will have
to filmed at the same time if filming on a different day is needed.
