A director must take a practical approach during the pre-production phase, as their vision will be constrained by the project’s budget and script. The first step in pre-production is working with others who will be involved in the production process to create a game plan. The director can request revisions to the script during this phase, often working closely with the writers responsible for the story. Directors also review the tone of the film and communicate their vision to the heads of the other departments before production begins.
