The first thing in writing anything is to check your spelling. But you seem to have a lot of questions, so I suggest you pay a consultation fee to a producer or film director, who can give you quality advice - time is money, and, if you can't spend the money, then you probably can't produce your film.

There are many available on line to look at.

A quick search on Google will do the trick.

Ouch, the above were a little harsh. Do you mean the business side of production plan or preproduction plan/schedule?

There are some recourses on the net, a few good books on Amazon and the like. I would very loosely describe one as a Business Plan and the other as traditional project management things are a little different (antiquarian?) in film so I do mean when I say loosely.

I wish I could help more but this is a very big subject. (I think)

How was my reply harsh, skozak?

It's a very big subject with very little info to go on.
What can I do to improve my reply?

I think he was talking about aspiring mogul's reply. He seems to be doing very well in being a mogul of non-help. I think the best thing to do is get together with your crew and decide a schedule. After you form a schedule you can get a plan for shooting. Now, do you have a plot summary or story board?

Thanks

That is a bit vague. The process obviously should begin with a completed screenplay. The professionals then do an initial "breakdown" to see what LOCATIONS will be needed. Many productions never get off the ground because the locations aren't available or cost-effective.

There are significant costs involved with choosing to shoot on-location. From location fees to housing and feeding a crew, having port-a-potties available all day, shipping gear to and from...

And the same for shooting on stage. Bottom line, start with the locations.

THEN move on to a semi-real scene breakdown to find out what elements are in each scene. From actors to props to wardrobe to greenscreen to air-conditioning, special effects, etc.

As elements are gathered, the schedule and budget will get filled in more accurately.

There are number of great books and resources available to help you with all of this.

Also it helps to make a 'to do list' which will help you plan and organize your pre-productions phase which will help you no end through out the production process as you'll have a clear idea of what needs to be done in order to help your production reach completion.
