6. Beginning of Preproduction • Brainstorming • Ask “Why?” The Story

7. Take the story and give it direction • Every conversation, and every situation is orchestrated into a script • Redraft, redraft, redraft Writing

8. Think about how many different shots are in one film • Draw it out • Frame by frame • Without storyboards, filming would be a difficult process Storyboarding

9. Search for places that fit each scene • Not always real (that’s why we have studios) Location Scouting

10. Find actors who fit a role • Auditions • Screen tests Casting

11. “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.” • Practice makes perfect Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse
