I'm a film student working on my first short film with a micro-budget, and I'm trying to understand the practical workflow of the film production process from pre-production to post. We've finished the script and storyboards, but I'm unsure about the best way to schedule the shoot days, manage the call sheets, and coordinate with the small crew and actors we've gathered. What are the most common pitfalls for first-time directors during production, and are there any specific tools or templates for managing continuity and daily progress that you've found invaluable on low-budget sets?
