For starters, they would have needed to think of a concept idea for the film, and decided what they wanted the narrative to as well as thinking how the film would be portrayed to the audience. They then would have had to go on to write a script, and perhaps even a storyboard too.
Budgeting would have been a big part of the pre-production stage. Nothing would have been able to happen had they not decided how much to spend on each part of the production - such as camera equipment, sound equipment, costumes, props etc. They would have had to taken into consideration paying for food and drink for the actors/production team if the filming went on for quite a while.
A location would then need to be found to film the production in. Location scouts could be used to head out and find a suitable location to film, as they would need to make sure that it's safe, suits the scene being filmed and is the right environment to do so. A risk assessment would also need to be carried out, as well as filling in a release form if the land used is privately owned.
The weather would need to be considered before the day of filming as well. Although weather can sometimes be unpredictable, they would still need to keep an eye on weather reports in the days leading up to filming, just to make sure it will still be a suitable day, otherwise it would need to be changed.
Props and costumes would need to be decided on before the day of filming, to make sure they fit the budget, look as they are supposed to and match the script, weather and location - most people wouldn't wear a thick coat and a scarf on a hot sunny day, after all!
All of these things would definitely need to be considered before even stepping foot on location to film, as otherwise the production would not be able to take place successfully.
