Create shot lists and storyboards. Plan coverage (masters, singles, OTS, inserts). Scout the location, block actors, and prepare to shoot.

Week 3 – Production (4 hour class session for filming)
Film the scene under real-world conditions. Direct actors, capture strong coverage, and protect the edit with inserts and reactions.
