Making a movie isn't and never will be easy, almost all movies start with the first line of a script, they dont start with hiring the actors, they dont start with hiring the crew, they start with the script. Although this is true crew, actors, and location scouting play a huge role in getting the movie done and this is why its important to start thinking about even if the script isn't done.
Obviously I have an image in my mind of exactly what the scene would look like and what the characters faces looks like but to a certain extent it just isn't possible to translate that directly into the scene but I can still try my best to make it look as good as possible. The first step is to think about how large or small I will want the crew. After some research I have found that for small scale projects like these, while it will take a lot more work, a lot of the jobs can be done by me just to save on time and costs.
The one big thing that I wont be able to do myself is acting. I will have to find some talent actors that can carry this short scene to success and be able to channel the vision that I have fed to them, whether this is done with paid actors or just people I know isn't sure yet but hopefully I will be able to find actors competent enough to portray the images that I imagined.
The final piece that I need is location scouting, this is a process that I hope to get done pretty quickly considering that im not planning on have a scene that takes place in a large sprawl or travels through a large amount of locations all at once. All this research has brought to light a lot of things that I have never thought of before such as how much your interactions with the crew will influence the final piece just because of how well or badly you could convey the image that you're thinking of.
