The production process is very important as we can transform words on paper into colour, emotion and life on screen.

There are many aspects to pre-production planning, but we're just going to focus on two of them here: the storyboard and the shot list. As we are working on a small production, then we will be doing everything ourselves.

Saba and I decided to create a rough shot list so when it comes to filming our trailer it is much clearer as well as saving more time as we will know what shots to use which can limit disagreements as well as making our thought process more clearer and so this then can lead to us both not wasting time on making various shot lists whilst filming and so this can benefit us both as we are more likely to make a better trailer as a result of early and clear decision making.

A shot list is simply that – a list of all of the shots in your film. When you have completed your screenplay, a shot list is a great way to imagine how it will look on the screen. You simply make a list of all the shots in your film from beginning to end.
