5 main areas of creating a film:
Script Writing

Test Shooting
Shooting
Editing

Script writing
- Walk through the script - this will help to identify the problems
- Write everything down - don't rely on memory
- Write emotions/actions down, but don't shot list
-

Story boarding
- Story board can be drawn or made digitally, using still pictures.
- Try a variety of different angles

Be sure to do a location recce before filming.
- Check facilities
- Learn when locations are available for filming
- Note any possible issues that might arise

Test Shots
- Get used to the location
- Get used to the equipment
- Help to polish the script
- Help to identify the props and costumes needed
- Helps the edit process
- Helps before real shoot

Makes a shooting schedule
- Organize whether filming at night or day
- Plan filming "route" - when switching locations, where is it easier to move to in order to save time?
