Within our group, we have decided to display our Pre-Production package in a book. This is a professional way to finish our project, it is also something physical we can keep and show people. As the producer of this film, I am in charge of the budget and marketing, this means finding the best looking / most professional book for the best price. I also need to look at how long it'll take for the book to be completed once it's sent off, and then therefore, what date we need to finish the book to send off. I can then put this date in the Pre-Production schedule so I can keep track on our progress to ensure we finish the project by the deadline.
So far we decided we want a hard back book at a rough size of A4, this may change towards the end of the project but by keeping the features the same during my research, I'll be able to compare prices fairly.

From my research, I've decided that Colour Digital Print is the cheapest website to use. I have also spoken to people who have used it before and they are very reliable and the turn around time is as it says on the website. The last thing we want is to have the delivery delayed on the book near the deadline. After having spoken to people who have used them previously, I am happy to go ahead and use Colour Digital Print for our book, and I believe that we will receive a professional looking book to give in.
