Pre-Production: The Film Director’s Process of Discovery


Pre-production is the most important time for a director because it’s where you go through a “process of discovery.” It’s also during this time that all departments discover what they need to make a particular movie happen.

Much is expected of the director during the pre-production process. You are in charge of making crucial decisions that can either make or break any production. It can all seem very overwhelming no matter how many times you’ve done it. But in reality, taken step by step, it could be a fun and rewarding part of the process of making a film. All this takes time – and the more time you have in prep, the more you will discover and sort out before you go to camera.

In this exclusive Stage 32 Next Level Webinar, Peter will guide you through pre-production, the most important phase for a director. He will help you navigate the business and politics with a step by step guide. Whether you are shooting for film or TV, you will walk away learning all you need to know from script analysis, shot lists, storyboards, the director-actor relationship, casting, production meetings and even take you all the way to cast rehearsal.
