Pre-production

Pre-production

Notes from the crash course video-

1. Casting- family, friends, audition tapes, extra and location ect.
2. Gathering your crew- cinematographer, hair and makeup teams, assistant director ect.
3. Location- where? When? Do you need permits? Is it safe? 
4. Schedule- when does everyone have to arrive/ wrap up for the day?
5. Establish the look of the film- colour schemes, lighting and special  effects.
6. Building sets- do you need to build some sets? 
7. Who do you need to hire to help the cast?-dialect coach or stunt coordinator. 
8. Screenplay- script, script breakdown, table readings, finding everyone and everything and make sure everything is accounted for.
9. Filming schedule- what days are you filming and what time everyone needs a copy of the call sheet so they know where to be at the write time.
10. Contact sheet- so everyone can contact each other if need be. 
11. Food and drink- everyone needs this while acting. 

Pre-production is the process before filming to plan everything to ensure a smooth running filming over the amount of days that are filming. To ensure everyone is at the right place at the right time everyone in the crew needs a call sheet, on this it has the place of meeting, time of meeting, who is meeting them, what time filming starts ect.
