12. 1 ST STEP: PLAN Where will you shoot your movie? Who will be in it? What is your story? Where will you get equipment? This all fits into the planning process. Never even touch your camera until you have every last detail planned. Write your story and script. You can also research the subject you will be filming about. Planning is very important because when you plan everything goes more smoothly.

13. 1 ST STEP: PLAN (CON’T) PART OF PLANNING IS THE STORY. HERE ARE THE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF A STORY: Characters Plan Plot Setting Conflict Resolution

14. 2 ND STEP: PRACTICE So, you have all your details planned, all your actors picked, and have permission to film at all your locations, so it is time to practice! Practice using a camera, practice your lines and practice in your costume. Remember to practice everything like its going to be when your actually filming, because how you practice your lines, is how you will perform it on camera.
