Summary
our preproduction process for this film started with what we wanted the film to center around and we decided to have a choreographed fight scene. From there it was just a matter of finding actors who could perform the action we wanted and also finding a shooting location as well as writing the script.

What I Learned and Problems I solved
One problem I had during production was that we had started going over the film with our actors but then one of them had a nee injury. There was not much of a fix for this we considered recasting but ultimately decided to wait for our actor to recover
