Planning Action Plan

Equipment:

Take stock of all equipment available and make notes on which equipment I may need, how I would use it and which equipment I plan on definitely using. Make sure to have equipment booked out for when I need it.

Locations:

Find suitable locations for filming and make notes on the pros and cons of the location as well as how I plan to use them for which scenes and make a assessment of potential issues and how I would overcome them.

Characters:

Make some brief character outlines so that I have a solid basis for actors to work off, include basic overview and what props and costume they would have.

Script/Screenplay:

Create an outline/guide for the speech and actions that will occur in my media piece, will help to keep my production on track and will prevent any stoppages caused by lack of readied content.

Storyboard:

Much like a screenplay, a storyboard is a bit more in depth and more tailored to shot types and camera movements than the actual narrative or actions in my product. Useful for the same reasons as a screenplay.
