What is pre-production? What are the steps that a filmmaker must take to transfer an idea in their head into a form that is ready to be filmed on camera?
Pre-production is the finalization and organization of everything before production begins, such as the script, locations, actors, crew, budget, and equipment. It is vital to the production process as it organizes everything and allows for a smoother filming process. Once a filmmaker develops a concept and gets it approved, they must finalize the script, figure out the budget, and breakdown what days they want to begin filming each part. They also need to create a crew for their production and have different department heads that manage each department. They need to coordinate with their crew and plan to location scout, storyboard, create a shotlist, and etc. Lastly, they can search for actors that are willing to fit into the schedule they built, or if their schedule can be adjusted. Overall, They must account for locations, times, actors, weather, props, wardrobe, and anything else that will be needed to make their story come to life.
