pre-production

Pre-production is the process in which you prepare your film. This is where you decide on times schedules and the place in which the film will take place other than where you crew and cast will be set up. There is much detail which is considered such as dialect for example of certain characters, which means your cast such as main characters and extras which are just as important. Your cast would need lessons in certain speech pronunciations if needed. You would also need multiple amount of crew behind the camera for example of special effects and lighting to make an atmosphere in which appeals to the audience.

Pre-production also involves lots of thought in budget as this money means how far you go in limits of your locations and advertising; which you can access. As without budget you have no film to begin with. Permits are also a huge part of pre-production for example certificate of insurance is always needed on set so when someone is injured the film company doesn’t lose money as they wouldn’t pay, it would be the insurance company which does. As much as your budget is a huge part of the process of your film starting and coming together there is one other massive part of pre-production which is the script; the script goes through many stages such as locking your script, this is the process going through it multiple times editing and making re-writes until your satisfied with everyone’s lines for the film, the other stage the script goes through is the script breakdown and creating a script boards which help schedule times in which the cast should come in for their lines.
