Pre-Production

Everyone knows the glamorous look of the movie business, the action heroes, the dangerous villains, the damsel, the classics of film. But what most people don't realize is the work that goes into making all of this possible through pre-production.
Pre-production is the preliminary process that makes every film possible by organizing and coordinating efforts into certain areas to ensure that the film is produced and filmed without or with little falter. It can consist of constructing a shot list, a story board, a shooting schedule, and or even now a beat sheet. It also means obtaining of course the much needed actors/actresses, props, finding locations to shoot that will fit the film, and permission for shooting in some cases.
My experiences with pre-production have been well rough, because it is stressful trying to fit pre-, production, and post- production into a tight schedule and pre-production tends to take the longest then it's post production, then it's the actual filming. If the pre-pro work is done correctly the filming is no problem at all it's easier and organized, and the post-pro is easier because everything is where it belongs and easier to handle.
Pre-production is a pain in the arse, but it's probably the most important part of making a film; without it , the film is disorganized and harder to shoot.
