Method of approaching the development of a production :
Here, it must be stressed that the study of projects must focus primarily on the artistic content of the projects and not on the presentation of supporting documents, certificates and administrative certificates that can be requested after acceptance of the artistic dossier which must constitute the master piece of the project
1-Presentation of the project by the producer:
Documents required
a) Exhibition of the theme and a synopsis - 30 to 40 lines.
(b) Note of intent of the producer and the author.
The producer must specify the recommended way to carry out the manufacture of the product and the means to implement for the realization of the work.
The author must explain his motivations and the approach to take (characters - style of writing etc ....).
Each note should not exceed 1 page or 25 lines.
This presentation of the file to the chain must be answered no later than 3 weeks after its presentation.
If the channel shows interest, it must release a development budget to allow the producer to professionally prepare a production record in a "Bible" which, if accepted, must be followed by a writing contract that will define the rights and obligations of each of the parties and determine the amounts of the transfer of rights and the terms of payment.
c) The production contract comes after the completion of the writing.
The production contract must take into account not only the economic aspects but also the copyrights and the conditions, durations of sale and spaces of the diffusion of the work by the chain.
It is recommended to set up 3 commissions to make the evaluations, to fix the orientations of each department and finally to set up the modalities of program selection and the follow-up of the executions.
With respect to the commission designated by "commission of the fiction" this commission must have for mission:
-Develop a specification defining the standards of the different types of fiction to be achieved as well as the technical, artistic, legal and financial framework of the production of these achievements.
-To appoint a reading committee and a technical committee.
-To recommend the follow-up procedures of the selected projects, from the pre-production until the delivery of the finished product, and to propose the measures (and crazy guards), condition likely to ensure the good functioning of the productions:
-To ensure compliance with contracts signed between the channels and production companies whose projects fall within the scope of this agreement.
