What Is Preproduction?

The process of creating a film or a project has different steps even before filming the scenes for the project. The main step before filming is the planning process known as pre-production. The pre-production stage consists of storyboarding scenes, casting, finding locations, etc. This is the stage of production where the chosen director of the project is selected and brainstorms more ideas for the film. A group of writers is brought together by the director and producer to compose the given idea into a working story, which is then created into a well planned storyboard. As preproduction continues, more and more people are added onto the crew, such as talents and film crews. When producing a project on any scale, the preproduction stage can not be skipped. Without this vital stage, a project can easily fall to pieces, bringing a possibly great idea and crew down with it.
