This flowchart diagram shows Stage 4 of the development process, following on from Figure 5. These are the activities required at this stage: Director applies more polish to screenplay, Line producer does budget, Lead cast and financiers approached, Key locations investigated. An arrow then points to the question ‘Finance secured?’ with ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer choices. If ‘No’, the options are either to drop the project, or return to the beginning of this stage and give it another go. If ‘Yes’, the project can continue to the next stage.
