Shot Construction is the process of analyzing and visualizing how the shots going to look like.
Script is analysed for:
1. Color
2. Frame
3. Angle
4. Viewpoint - Objective viewpoint, subjective, and POV (point of view)
5. 'Area of shot' - shot size
6. Characters movement
7. Focal Length
8. Depth of Field
Scene is a certain time and location. If the images move from one location & time to another, that's a different scene.
Storyboard: Numbers indicating the image represents the shots taken. For example, 5 (close up of the male char) and 6 (over the shoulder shot of the female character) is the conversation between the taxi driver and the lady. Film can cut from 5, 6, 7 (general view) to 5 and 6 again.
Scheduling: Listing out, in numeric form, the shots that you are going to shoot in order. The most important shot goes first, then followed by the rest.
Storyboarding and Floorplanning are also very important in the process of pre-production. It gives the overall idea for the production team of the shooting, location of camera and character et cetera.
180 Degree Rule
Camera should never cross the 180 line if shooting characters facing each others.
