Planning the Project
This is the first in a series of four related books. It deals with the thinking, planning and preparation that should take place before production of material begins. Whatever kind of material it is, it will take time and money. Producers will therefore want it to be worth the effort, and to do the job it was meant to do. Careful planning is one way to help to achieve this.
