What is plan?Show answer
Planning is where you make deliberate choices using the key aspects. You choose a form and genre and decide which conventions to follow (categories); you plan the technical and symbolic codes that will carry meaning, such as your shots, lighting, colours and layout (language); you decide how people, places or ideas will be represented; you shape the structure and order of your content (narrative); and you design it for a defined target audience. Good planning also considers the institution context, the purpose your content serves and any constraints. Planning is judged on considering possibilities and anticipating problems before you produce.
