Pre-Production
In filmmaking and video production, pre-production
formally begins once a project has been greenlit. At this stage, finalising
preparations for production go into
effect. Financing will generally be confirmed and many of the key elements such
as primary cast members, director
and cinematogropher are set.
By the end of pre-production, the screenplay is hopefully finalised
and satisfactory to all the financiers and other stakeholders.
Some
of the things that occur during the pre-production process consist of, the script being broken down into
individual scenes storyboards and all the
locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual effects
are identified. An extremely detailed schedule is produced and arrangements
are made for the necessary elements to be available to the film-makers at the
appropriate times.
Sets
are also constructed, the crew will be hired, financial arrangements are put into place and a start date for the beginning of photography is
set. At some point in pre-production there will be a read through of the script which
is usually attended by all cast members with speaking parts, the director, all
heads of departments, financiers, producers, and publicists.
In
a nutshell, pre-production is the process that takes place just before
production begins. The process involves the preparation of all of the elements
involved within the chosen media type (film, play, or other performance).
Pre-production
is one of the 3 parts of the production phase. It occurs first, before
production and then post-production occurs after this.
