The Production Cycle (Week #7, Blog #1)

The production cycle (Figure 22.1 in our text) can be used to help with the development of your project. The cycle includes five areas: preproduction, production, postproduction and quality review, and delivery or implementation.

The cycle stresses regardless of your role you are affected through some phase(s) of this production cycle. Being aware of team member roles, participating fully, and lending your expertise at the team level will help improve your project's quality, effectiveness, and viablity of your project.

This is a great cycle to use. I'm going to suggest that our group implement it in our multimedia project. The figure breaks down the web and video part so regardless of your role, you clearly understand what your function is during the preproduction, production, postproduction and quality review, and delivery or implementation phases.
