What is Preproducton?
  • It is the planning stage
    • Writing the script
    • Drawing the storyboards
    • Making a Shot List
    • Planning a shooting schedule
Importance of Preproduction
  • This is the most important stage in any of the 3 stages of production. The reason is because this is the stage that everything is laid out and organized before they are ready to shoot.
  • Without this stage, no one would know what they were doing and the films would take longer and cost more to shoot.
Storyboards
  • A storyboard is a detailed drawing of the shot that is taking place in the scene. Once a script is completed, they will break each scene own into shots and visually and verbally describe what is going on.
Synopsis
  • A synopsis is a summary of the movie, providing the reader with the plot of the film, the characters in the film and the genre of the film.
    • Remember a synopsis is a summary of the film so you want to use this to draw the audience into watching your movie
Example of a Synopsis:
Movie – Shaun of the Dead (Comedy)
Synopsis: A man decides to turn his moribund life around by winning back his ex-girlfriend, reconciling his relationship with his mother, and dealing with an entire community that has returned from the dead to eat the living.
Productivity Journal
  • A productivity journal is a daily recording of what you accomplished, what day it was accomplished and what you plan on doing for the next day.
  • It is an excellent tool used to keep track of your shooting to save your film from continuity errors.
