Preproduction
Preproduction is the stage during which you make your movie before you make your movie.
It is when your project is broken down into its elements, both creative and technical. It’s when many decisions get made and when everything that must happen before filming begins is addressed.
solid preproduction = solid production
With careful planning and a calculated and organized workflow, you are setting yourself up for success.
Using a production binder, in either digital or physical form, will help you keep track of everything that happens during preproduction.
Include sections for each of your production’s unique aspects.
The more care with which you approach preproduction, the more ready you will be for the challenges of production.
