First day of prepping for the film - the final three days of push before production begins.
What's prepping, you ask? Excellent question - one to which I sought the answer myself just a couple of months ago. From the perspective of a director, preparations in the final days of preproduction include communicating with every department to make sure that shooting will go as smoothly as possible. Here's my to do list with each person for the next three days:
Producer - prepare crew memos, pick up rental camera
Assistant director - prepare shot list, shooting schedule, and call sheets
Production manager - complete all sorts of Screen Actors Guild forms and contracts
Production designer - dress the set and finalize art and prop decisions
Director of photography - draw storyboards (the ugliest you'll ever see) and convey my vision
Better get going.
