Filmmaking is a process that has many steps, most of which must be done in a certain order. Fail to take one of these steps and your production may trip over legal, business, or artistic obstacles.This workbook is custom designed to guide students at The Film School @ Northwest Nazarene University through the process of film production from idea to final distribution. But it can also be used by anyone who'd like to be sure they don't miss one of those critical steps.In professional work we wouldn't necessarily fill out paperwork and formally discuss every step in this workbook for every project. But even if you're shooting a quick and simple video, you'll need to at least think about – consider – almost every one of these steps. It’s what we call workflow.And this isn't even the end of the story. Large film crews working on large projects with huge budgets will have dozens more forms, processes, and procedures to follow. This workbook – and its companion Multicamera version – comprises what we feel are the essential steps in creating a film.Welcome to filmmaking, and to The Film School @ NNU. You're about to begin the process of turning your dreams into stories on the screen through a time-tested workflow.
