Figure 1. The Pre-production Flow of Filmmaking

https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/the-complete-pre-production-process/

Preproduction phase involves the following key elements:

1. Scriptwriting. The heart of any film lies in its story. Pre-production is the time to
finalize the script, ensuring a clear narrative structure, engaging dialogue, and well-
developed characters. This might involve multiple drafts, incorporating feedback from
collaborators like producers and directors.

 Figure 2. Sample Script Writing format
https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-script-writing/

Scriptwriting is the foundation of bringing your film or video idea to life. Here is a quick guide
in writing a script:
a. Brainstorm and Develop your Idea. What kind of story do you want to tell? Who are
your characters? What is the main conflict?
b. Craft a Logline. A one or two-sentence summary that captures your entire story
essence.
c. Develop your Characters. Give your characters depth and personality.
d. Structure your Script. Screenplays have a standard format with scene, headings,
dialogue, and action lines.
e. Write your First Draft. Don’t worry about perfection, just get your story down.
f. Revise and Refine. Polish your script, ensure clarity, and get feedback to improve. Explain what a shot list
is and why it is crucial

Shot List is the breakdown of all the camera shots needed in your film or video. Here is a quick
summary of the steps to create one:
1. Scene and Shot Number. List the scene number from your script and assign a
unique number to each shot within that scene.
2. Shot Description. Briefly describe what happens in the shot, including the action
and characters involved.
3. Shot Type. Specify the type of shot, like close-up, wide shot, etc.
4. Camera Angle and Movement. Detail the camera angle (low angle, high angle, etc.)
and any planned camera movements (pan, tilt, etc).
5. Additional Notes. Include any extra information relevant to the shot, like props or
sound considerations.
Storyboarding translates your script’s key scenes into a visual comic strip format. Here is a
quick rundown of the steps:
1. Breakdown your script. Identify key scenes that move the story forward.
2. Sketch the Frames. Create a series of simple drawings for each scene, focusing on
capturing the main action and composition.
3. Focus on Clarity, Not Detail. Prioritize conveying the scene’s essence over artistic
perfection.
4. Sequence and Frames. Arrange your storyboard frames in the order they appear
in the film to visualize the story flow.
5. Add Details (Optional). Consider incorporating additional details like camera
angles, character emotions, or lighting notes for further clarity.

4. Once the script is written, guide learners through the process of creating a shot list
based on their script.
5. Include details such as shot number, description, camera angle, movement, and
duration.
6. Highlight how each shot corresponds to specific parts of the script and how it helps in
visualizing the final video.
Review and Feedback
7. Review each learner's script and shot list.
8. Provide constructive feedback on both the script and the shot list, focusing on areas
such as clarity, coherence, and creativity.
9. Encourage learners to revise their work based on the feedback received.

DAY 3
SUB-TOPIC 2: Talent Scouting and Securing Equipment
1. Explicitation
Talent Scouting. Talent Scouting plays a crucial role in filmmaking, acting as the bridge
between raw potential and captivating performances on screen. Talent scouting involves
actively seeking out talented actors, performers, or even crew members who might be a perfect
fit for a specific film or project.
The scouting process for talent involves three key steps:
1. Identifying Needs. This means understanding the specific roles required in the film
by analyzing the script for character details and any special skills needed.
8
 2. Searching for Talent. Scouts use various methods like attending open calls, watching
live performances, browsing online profiles and demos, or networking with acting
schools and agencies.
3. Evaluation and Selection. Potential actors are carefully assessed based on headshot,
demo reels, or live auditions to determine their acting range, stage presence, and how
well they embody the character’s essence.
Securing Equipment. Filmmaking is a visual and auditory art form, and capturing your
creative vision requires a diverse toolkit. Filmmaking equipment can be broadly categorized
into three essential areas:
1. Camera and Lenses. The camera captures your visuals, and interchangeable lenses
allow you to adjust focal lengths for close-ups, wide shots, and creative effects.
2. Sound Recording. High quality audio is crucial. This might involve microphones for
capturing dialogue and sound effects, as well as audio recorders to store the audio
tracks.
3. Lighting. Lighting sets the mood, creates atmosphere, and controls how your scene
appears visually. Equipment can include lights, stands, reflectors, and diffusers to
manipulate and soften light as needed.

and paper, sketch the scene and how you would use lighting to create a sense
of suspense. Will you rely on a single streetlight casting long shadows, or
incorporate flashes of lightning for dramatic effect? Label your sketch with
the type of lights you would use (key light, fill light, backlight). (10 points)
1.2. Sound Design. Spooky sounds are key! List 3 sounds you would use to build
tension in your scene (ex. creaking branches, footsteps, distant howls). Briefly
explain how each sound contributes to the atmosphere. (5 points)
1.3. Mood Board. Collect or create images that capture the overall mood you want
to create for your scene (ex. dark, foggy, deserted park). Copy them onto a
separate sheet of paper or create a digital moodboard. (5 points)

2. Filming the Scene. (20 pts)

2.1. Shot List. This scene needs to be visually engaging. Create a shot list outlining
at least 5 different camera shots you would use to film this scene. Specify the
type of shot (ex. wide shot, close up) and how it would contribute to telling
the story. (10 points)
2.2. Storyboarding. Visualize your scene! Create a storyboard with at least 4
panels that depict key moments in your scene. Each panel includes a sketch
of the scene and a brief description of the action taking place. (10 points)

3. Casting Call (20 points)

3.1. Character Profile. Who is the student in your scene? Describe the personality,
age, and appearance. What emotions should they portray as they walk
through the park? (10 points)
3.2. Casting Notes. Based on your character profile, write a short casting call
description that actors could use to audition for the role. Include details
about the character and the type of performance you are looking for. (10
points)

Bonus Challenge!
● Plot Twist! Add a spooky twist to your scene! Describe what unexpected event
could happen to the student as they walk through the park. How would you
use lighting, sound, and camera angles to capture this twist effectively? (20
points)

IV. EVALUATING LEARNING: FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT AND TEACHER’S REFLECTION NOTES TO TEACHERS

A. Evaluating 1. Formative Assessment

Learning 1. Briefly explain the concept of pre-production in filmmaking. Why is it an
important stage?

2. Imagine you have limited resources for filming your sci-fi scene. Describe
some creative solutions you could use to create a futuristic atmosphere
despite the limitations.
This is an open-ended question requiring creative problem-solving.
Answers may vary based on students’ idea, but here is suggested
answer:
● Possible solutions include using everyday objects as futuristic
props, filming in unique locations with interesting architecture, or
creating simple costumes using household items.
3. Working in a group can sometimes be challenging. Describe one strategy you
could use to ensure effective communication and collaboration during the
storyboarding process.
Answers may vary but here is suggested answer:
● One strategy is to actively listen to each other’s ideas, discuss
different options, and come to a consensus on the storyboard
elements. Assigning roles within the group (ex. sketch artist, scene
writer, etc.) can also promote clarity and efficiency.
4. Briefly explain why teamwork is important in the filmmaking process?
Answers may vary but here is suggested answer:
● Filmmaking is a collaborative art form. From scriptwriting and
acting to directing and editing, many people work together to bring
film to life. Teamwork allows for better communication, diverse
perspectives, and a more efficient production process.
