Preparation: Pre-Production• Funding is more or less secure and script is solid enough for production,
filmmakers can prepare for physical production , this is called pre-production
• Director coordinates the staff to create the film. He/she is most responsible for final look and sound of the film.
• Producer and Director hire crew, cast roles and scout locations for filming
• Prepare daily schedule, all the while keeping an eye on the budget
• Producer assumes shots will be shot out of continuity –they want to shoot scenes that are at same location cuz it saves money from having to transport equipment

Pre-Production• Several things are happening at same time under supervision of producer and
director -ex: writer revises, casting director looks for actors• In large scale productions, there is a major division of labor. Director works closely
with heads of each department.• Production designer- in charge of visualizing the film’s settings. Unit creates
drawings and plans that determine architecture and color of the film.• Other roles- art director, set dresser, set decorator, costume designer.

Pre Production• Graphic artists creates a storyboard- a series of comic strip-like sketches of the
shots in each scene, including notations about costume lighting and camerawork
-not every scene is storyboarded, but action sequences and shots using special effects or complicated camera work tend to be storyboarded in detail
- cinematographers will know how things should look in the end
-previsualization- reworks the storyboards into 3-demensional animation, complete with moving figures, dialogue, sound effects, and music
