Pre-Production
Going into pre-production it is somewhat like a sketch. You have your ideas, you brainstorm and then have your final idea. You want to have sketches and then once you got it down, you can add the details. That is what I got during my assignment. This also means that since there is always a deadline you need to have a plan of some sort. You need to get organized not only for yourself but in everything. That way you know what to do and when to do it. Of course during pre-production that's what it is mainly for so that you can move on to production.
Production
In production this is where we build upon the product that we consider to work on. In my case we are making a 2D game. But not only that we also have to do 3D models. Now we do have teams in four or three, in which case everyone has there perks. For example in my team there is someone who does sound/audio so I would give that person the job of sound/audio. And fun fact I remember (somewhat) what each people said they wanted to do in the gaming industry. Through production just like pre-production you carry in the ideal of having things organized, having to meet deadlines, and all of those lovely things. Production is crucial as well as pre-production.
Overall:
- Pre-production is needed in order to proceed in the actually production
- Pre-production consist on many things, so keep track on what you are doing
- Production is the time to build
- Make sure you stay organized and meet those deadlines
