Development & pre-production

Overview

Every creative pursuit starts with an idea—even those iconic pieces of entertainment that have defined popular culture. But how does an idea for a film or TV show turn into its final product, and how can you easily track its development along the way? This development and pre-production template allows you to do just that for any forthcoming video production, while also helping you scout potential talent and pitch to possible distribution partners.

Much like the creative process itself, this template begins with the idea development stage in a table that features all essential information about a film or TV show. Assign producers, keep track of scripts and contracts, and oversee each potential title’s evolution through different views such as the development pipeline.

Once an idea is greenlit, use the Pitches table to plan meetings and log networks’ feedback. If you meet a television executive looking for a new fall sitcom, add their contact information to the distribution partners table and try pitching them something that their competitor rejected. And in the Talent table, maintain a list of the actors you’ve worked with on particular projects, as well as their agents.
