How to prepare for a film shoot

Different creative processes:

1. Script writing
2. Storyboarding
3. Test shooting
4. Shooting
5. Editing

1) Script - Always write a script down and never do it by memory. also keep the script simple by using actions and emotions instead of complicating it with talking about shots and angles.

2) Walk through the script - Always do this so that everyone is comfortble with how it is sounding and also give people ideas of how it might look.

3) Location recce - Always do one of these to give you an idea of when the best time to film would be and also take a lot of detailed notes of what you see and hear when you are there. 

4) Digital storyboard - Us different angles, frames and also shot types and also go on to Google earth to get a birds eye view of your location and where you think would be best to film it.

5) Shot list - Always make sure you have on of these because it keeps you organised when it comes to filming and also is good when you maybe want to annotate your script a bit.

6) Test shots - Always good to go out of college to your location to take a few test shots to give you an idea of what will look good and also what wont work very well. also helps to get to know who and what is about at that time which will help you sort out what time we will film.

7) Make shooting schedule - This is crucial because you need this to stay organised and on schedule which will help us get a better mark when it comes to final shooting.
