Planning

Now that you have your research done (YAY!) you can get onto the exciting part of planning, shooting and editing your film (HUZZAH!).

The planning stages should be as follows:

-Your ideal audience (who would you pitch the film to, age, demographic etc). You could do some profiles of your ideal audience
-Storyboard
-Plot
-Symbols/ideas
-Title ideas
-Soundtrack ideas
-Script
-Animatic (a "filmed" storyboard)
-Show animatic & script to selected intended audience
-Make any changes based on the advice and expectations of your chosen audience/viewers
-Create a shooting script
-Do a risk assessment
-Do research of actors, locations, props, makeup, lighting etc
-Create a shooting timetable/schedule
-DOCUMENT EVERYTHING (PHOTOS ETC) SO I CAN MARK IT :)
