ABSTRACT
As the producer, you have carefully developed each stage of your project and now, you’re ready for the actual shoot. Your vision is about to become tangible. The production schedule might be ambitious, stretching over one or two weeks, or it’s simple, small and compact with a two-day shoot. Regardless of its scope, the components are in place, and the writer, director, crew, and talent, are prepared to collaborate in making this project come alive. The actual shooting, called principal photography, can begin when everything is ready to go: the script has been finalized and distributed, the sets are built, the talent is prepared, the crew hired and the equipment is up to speed, all locations secured, and the dozens of details put in place.
