Pre-Production

• Pre-production is a lengthy process and must be completed thoroughly.
• The pre-production process is unique to the individual, however, and will be driven by the requirements of the production.
• Pre-production cannot begin until you have a clear, finalised idea.
• Some aspects of pre-production are mandatory.
• All aspects of pre-production must be documented in a series of detailed, illustrated entries in your Production Diary.
  • Production Idea
  • Treatment (written in detailed prose, using film-specific language — have a look at a cool example here)
  • Pitch (filmed verbal delivery of the treatment, followed by discussion)
  • Pitch Reflections (subsequent thoughts, audience response, teacher feedback, etc)
  • Action points and preparation possibilities
  • Research into screenplay conventions
  • Research into storyboarding conventions
  • Research into lighting conventions
  • Research into equipment (cameras, lenses, etc, with a strong focus on iPad filming)
  • Location scout
  • Casting
  • Finalised screenplay, with evidence of drafts and versions
  • Filmed rehearsals
  • Filmed screenplay read-through
  • Storyboards
  • Practise shots
  • Wardrobe and prop acquisition
  • Make up
  • Special effects
  • Soundtrack research
  • Or anything else that tickles your fancy, demonstrates enthusiasm, and generally makes you look like a committed and competent filmmaker... </aside>
