Crucial tasks which need to be done before the shoot day

Today we discussed what NEEDS to be done before the shoot day. There were three main points which was asked for us to be done. 

• Understanding of the final product (how it is going to look and whether it will work) so we are prepared for the shoot day (test shoot).
• Rehearsals with our on screen talent.
• Art direction — pre-production, getting costume, making sets, props, booking locations.
