Production Process for Media Making:
A carefully planned media project (film, animation, photostory, radio show, etc.) or mobile journal- ism (MoJo) project has at least five steps in the process.
- Planning
- Production
- Post-Production
- Critique & Revise
- Showcase & Share
Steps 3-5 above are critical steps in the production process, however, when facilitating media pro- jects with young people they are often skipped or out-sourced to an external facilitator. It is impor- tant to include these steps.
- Step 3 covers the editing process and is one of the most creative decision making stages of the project.
- Step 4 is critical to ensure the intended story, audience, message and style is being conveyed. The SAMS handout can be used again here.
- Step 5 is a great motivator to encourage young people to finish the project particularly if they are finding certain tasks challenging e.g. editing.
