Pre production:

Script: A script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, TV show or video game. These scripts can be completely original or taken from existing pieces of material. In these scripts or screenplays, the movement, expression and dialogue is included for the actors to follow. The format is structured in a way that one page usually equates to one minute of screen time. The major components are the action and dialogue. The action is written in present tense and the dialogue are the lines the characters speak. Slug lines occur at the start of every scene and is usually made up of three parts. Part one states wether the scene is set inside, outside or both. Part two states location of the scene. Part three separated from part two by a hyphen refers to the time of the scene. Each slug line begins a new scene. n a shooting script, the slug lines are numbered consecutively. These scene numbers act as mile-post script markers. This allows any part of the script to be referenced by a screen number.

Storyboard: A storyboard is a graphic organiser in the form of illustrations for the production of pre-visualising a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive motion sequence.The storyboarding process, in the form it is known today, was developed at Walt Disney Productions during the early 1930s, after several years of similar processes being in use at Walt Disney and other animation studios. In creating a motion picture with any degree of fidelity to a script, a storyboard provides a visual layout of events as they are to be seen through the camera lens. And in the case of interactive media, it is the layout and sequence in which the user or viewer sees the content or information. In the storyboarding process, most technical details involved in crafting a film or interactive media project can be efficiently described either in picture, or in additional text.

Shot list: A shot list is a list of shots for a film, TV show, animation etc. There are 15 shot types that are taken into account. When on set, a shot list is used to determine which shots have been used and what ones need to be used for future scenes.

Schedule:A shooting schedule is a project plan of each day's shooting for a film production. It is normally created and managed by the assistant director, who reports to the production manager managing the production schedule. Both schedules represent a timeline stating where and when production resources are used. It is used to keep a attack of what s gong on while on set.
