Pre-Production Paperwork
What is it?
What the pre-production paperwork, is the beginning process planning before starting to actually film. With this in mind, this is where the director, producer and the crew members choose where they would want to film, and the actors that they want for the film. The pre-production paper work for the creation of the film contains of; location recce, production schedule, location release form, client release form and the risk assessment.
With the creation of the pre-production paper work it allows the cast/crew member to have in idea of what they are meant to do and where to be.
