The pre-production phase in the [[video-making process]] is the initial stage where essential planning and preparation occur before filming begins. This phase involves developing a script to outline the narrative, creating a [[storyboard]] to visualize each scene, planning specific shots, selecting appropriate locations for filming, and sourcing necessary assets such as props, costumes, and equipment. By organizing these elements during pre-production, filmmakers can reduce potential errors and disruptions during recording and ensure a more efficient editing process.
