Pre Production
Pre-production is prior to the process of production where include planning, developing and structuring ideas, is the phase that sets the overall vision of the project. Although there is a general sequence of steps to Pre-production, but those steps are often overlapping or enmeshed, and it is normal for the various steps to be revisited more than once.
Pre-Production include but not limited to the following procces: Researching, Story Building, Concept Refinement, Pitch, Synopsis Writing and preparing the production crew.

Research

Researching and finding relevant useful materials, is a powerful way to define the project concept, it contributes developing a range of creative options for each narrative beat and set piece.
At M7 Media, we use different methods to conceive of research papers: brainstorming, concept mapping, free writing, what, why and where questions … etc. We start the process of research by refining the topic into strong research questions that lead to reveal the depth of the idea and to generate a guiding light for the project that will helps making creative decisions later on.

Storyboard Building

Storyboard helps to know what each scene will look like ahead of time which helps in fleshing out the scene concept: the angles, shots, composition, locations’ show and different transitions that will be used whilst editing the scenes together. It will also show the sequence of how everything should be done, and have everything sorted out for filming the scenes.
M7 strives to save time and money for clients through building the storyboard and pre-visualizing the work and answer the questions; M7 puts the visual plan that will guide the rest of production.

Concept Refinement

Concept Refinement allows refining ideas from the concept and defining the correct methods to carry out the project's messages to the target audience. It allows the writer to frame out the basic actions and to plot the structure of the project before going deeps in scenes, by writing one paragraph for each major narrative beat.
Even pro writing has room for refinement; M7 provides its clients with refinement service in a way that affects the overall result of the project and contributes to ensuring that the project is implemented efficiently and aesthetically.
