Pre-Production

Pre Production is the process of preparing all of the elements involved in a film. Pre Production begins once the project has been given permission (greenlit). This is the stage where finalizing preperations for production go into effect. During pre-production, the script is broken down. The individual scenes and all the locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual effects are identified. At the begining of pre production the screen play is page locked and scenes are numbered, this helps avoid confussion.
