Pre-production is the most important part in making a movie. At this stage, ideas are collected, the project is planned and all key elements of the project are determined (idea, script, schedule, project budget, locations, actors, recording and other equipment, and everything else necessary for the successful realization of the project).
At the very beginning we need an idea for a film. Here, above all, let’s consider what the genre, message and atmosphere we want to achieve will be. Then follows the script, where we define the story, which we develop and break down into dialogues, film characters and the sequence of events. The scenario is the basis for further planning and implementation of the project.
The next stage is the establishment of the budget. This means that we accurately evaluate the financial plan of the project, which covers production costs, team members’ fees, equipment rental price, recording permits, travel and other expenses.
