S | 9 | Production Book

Students will document the production materials they used to develop and create their short film projects. Documentation is an essential skill in producing professional media, and serves as a way for your team to preserve the information you used to create a project. This can be especially useful if you return to a project years later, or want to create a similar project at a later time.
