Pre-Film Script

One more step ahead in planning a story is to write the pre-film script. This is a good idea only if you know the story well in advance.

Write a proper script with visuals on the left side and Commentary and sound bites on the right. i.e. typically like a script. The art of writing a script would be discussed in detail in the chapter on Scripting.

A pre-film script looks exactly like a script but all the elements are imagined and put on paper. The real story will be an attempt to emulate the pre-film script.
