Whilst we were at the BFI we met and interviewed the director and writer of 'Attack the Block'. He explained on all the stages of preperation before he started filming 'Attack the Block'. He gave us useful information on what to use to prepare for shots and how to manage your time wisely.
One method he said to use was to use playmobile or lego characters to map out shots and to see how far you need to pan or zoom to fit the characters in the shot.
However the best way he described was to storyboard every single shot to make sure exactly what you want the camera to see and what you don't want the camera to see. Using this technique it allows you to picture the sequence in your head before you have to go out using time and resources and allows for less waste.
This Q&A really helped me put into perspective what is important and what isn't for example choosing the name of you film should maybe be the last thing you do along with adding in the titles. Sound and Genre should be maybe 1&2 on your list of things to do.
