These steps are all vital to a successful movie/ film they are the 3 main stages of production, without these the planning stage for a documentary/ film will be a complete mess and the layout could be unorganised and untidy and co-workers may struggle to understand what has been done and what has not, It would also be frustrating to shoot if the plan was a mess, this could introduce stress, this could result in a non-professional film and a low grade.
