Pre Production Tasks

Pre production

What else is there to do?

1. You need to complete a proposal - a short summary of the film that you are going to create.
2. Now do some audience research and see what other people think about your idea - remember they need to be people in your target audience. You need to respond to your audience feedback by either amending your story or stating how popular the idea was.
3. Now you need to do 4 pieces of pre-production

• the recce
• the script
• the storyboard
• shooting schedule

A recce - where you go to all of your locations,take a photo and write down the problems you might encounter there - noise,traffic, people etc and then write down how you could get around these problems.

The script - includes the dialogue and the voice over as well as information about who comes in and exits etc

The story board is a picture version of your trailer with the sort of camera shots that you intend to take.

The shooting schedule is simply the times, dates, places, actors and costumes that you organise to take the different parts of the trailer.
