Pre-Production

                                                                  

pre-production is all the planning that takes place before the filming takes place. 

After pre-production its followed up by production is the filming. 

Then is post production which is putting all of the scene's together and editing them with sound and special effect. 

Pre-production planning

• Scripts (dialogue) 
• Stage directions
• location/location recce 
• props
• music  
• risk assessment (rules that are put in place)
• Story board (drawings of scenes in the film) 
• location recce 
• mission for filming at that location 
• location release forms
• actor release forms

Personnel

• producer/co-producer  
• editor 
• writer 
• concept artists 
• director 
• scriptwriter 
• runners 
• composer 
• casting 
• finance 

The producer looks over everything the whole production and is the head of the production.

the editor is given all the scenes after the filming has finished and starts to put all the shots together to form the film and make sure there are no mistakes. also they would put in special effect and sounds such as music.  The script writer is the person who starts everything by writing what is going to be filmed in the first place and its their ideas what make the film. The concept artists draw what the writer and director have as their idea of what the location will look like so when the writer is still writing the concept artist start make the scenes come to life.
