FAQs

To ensure the filmmaker understands your project's vision, start by creating a detailed project brief that includes the objectives, target audience, style preferences, and any visual references. Arrange a kickoff meeting to discuss ideas and expectations, and be open to the filmmaker’s creative input. Also, agree on a storyboard or draft to serve as a roadmap for the project.
Begin by drafting a project timeline that outlines each phase of production, from pre-production to final edits, and discuss these with the filmmaker. Set clear milestones and specific deliverables for each phase. Regular check-ins can help address any issues early on and ensure the project stays on course.
Utilize project management and communication tools like Slack, Trello, or Asana to keep communication streamlined and organized. Decide on a preferred format for providing feedback, such as written notes or annotated videos, and ensure there’s a schedule for regular updates and revisions that align with your expectations.
