Preproduction is one of the most important factors in creating powerful documentary films. Without it your documentary could lack focus, strong characters, or a sense of resolution. In this video I’ll go over my simple 5 step prepro process that you can apply to your next film. This project was made possible with the support of The Art of Documentary, an online film school for documentary filmmakers.
