As a producer or director, its mandatory that you remain organized. Think of your outline as the structure for your entire project. Be sure to keep it simple. As your framework, you want this document to remain easy to digest. Use bullets, roman numerals, or a numbered list in a text file.

In this second stage of the pre-production planning, you need to begin to clearly define your show format. All of the ground work you will lay now will carry through to the final stages of your media production. 

The structure you outline in this stage will dictate what is needed in your next step as you begin to estimate what costs will be associated with creating what has been conceived in the Concept and Outline stages.  

It is also recommended to establish a naming convention during the Outline process. The content flow from one clip to another will be conceived while writing your outline. It is possible to name sections of what you plan to shoot in such a manner that the names in your Outline will carry all the way through the shooting and post production processes. This can be extremely helpful when you get to your final stages of editing and conforming the footage for final mastering and output.

Establishing naming conventions during the Outline process are invaluable when producing interactive media. The same names that you use in the first steps of the Outline can follow all the way through the project to the authoring process where you design and program the method for clips flowing from one to another. Creating this reference document with the interactivity in mind from the get-go will be critical in producing a smooth production workflow for the entire project.
