Once the script is complete, pre-production is the next stage before production where you need to begin assembling the cast and crew, preparing the budget, schedule the shoot, scout and lock locations, assemble props and wardrobe, build sets, acquire insurance, and much much more.

Learn how to approach pre-production effectively so the set runs smoothly and unexpected problems are kept at a minimum.
