Pre Production Advice
The procedure of filming is a long one and incorporates 
far more planning and preparation than one may think. 
From past experience if this is not organised effectively, 
a lot may go wrong. In a team there are a lot of ideas 
and opinions flying about and if these are not well 
thought through, planned and communicated, the end 
result will not be successful. When exploring tips on how 
to make this pre-production process smoother and more 
efficient for future projects, I found the pre-production 
checklist put together by LAMBDA films. Which outlines 
three fundamental strategies to ease a process that can 
otherwise be fairly stressful. These included, scripting, 
storyboarding, and a treatment
making the final aims of the project clear to everyone 
involved.
Don't get me wrong, I know the general location of what 
I'm looking for, I know my keys are in the house, or in 
the Norwich area... somewhere. I just don't have the 
organisational skill or the magic wand to pin-point 
where exactly.
Looking back at when I started studying the film and 
production side of things. I did not realise the benefits of 
storyboarding until it was far to late - on the day of 
filming when things became very intense and stressful 
with the deadline fast approaching. Without a planned 
storyboard it got more and more unorganised and 
unenjoyable. I have however, learnt from past mistakes 
and ever since have made sure that a well thought 
through storyboard always features in the pre-production 
process. Making sure that it continues to 
develop and progress all the way through the entire 
planning phase to make sure that we are all pleased 
with the final result.
This process begins before you've even begun filming, I 
mean if you're begin editing a film that had no strategic 
or methodical terms of planning, then you're going to 
get nowhere when it comes to compiling the footage. I 
recently came across this LAMBDA Films video that 
details some simple ways of developing an idea of what 
you want your video to look like before you've even 
started shooting it. I've included a link to the video 
below.
Pre-production is important for the arrangement of 
what is going to be shot and includes many phases that 
cannot to overlooked (as I learnt). It effects the whole 
filming process and tends to make your life easier in the 
long run, with efficiency and ease when it comes to 
filming.
