Try Previs Pro

Short walk-throughs of the kinds of shots you actually have to plan — dialogue, action, the oner, lens choice — paired with the Previs Pro app you can use to try each of them yourself.

Previs Pro on iPhone: a 3D-blocked bar scene with a character, a live camera monitor showing the composed shot, and an A/B shot list at 35mm.
Previs Pro: 3D blocking with a real camera at 35mm — what the articles below walk through.

Previs is the cheapest take on your shoot. Every problem caught here costs ten minutes; every problem caught on location costs an hour or a half-day. The articles below are the kind of decisions that previs is unreasonably good at de-risking — start with whichever scene shape is on your shot list this week.
