If an indie filmmaker is writing a screenplay for a 90 minute film for example, does it make sense for that person to, at the same time of writing the screenplay, make post-production notes in a separate log/journal? Or is it better for the person to finish the screenplay first and then start from the beginning, scene by scene, and plan post-production elements that he/she would like to have?
Post production notes can document certain elements like a specific fade/transition to use for a scene, and ideas may come to mind at the time of the screenwriting, which may not come to mind at post-production.
Also, what if Production ideas at the time of screenplay writing, come to mind, e.g. a particular lighting to use for a particular scene, does it make sense for the writer to capture those Production notes in a log/journal also, so as to not forget the idea?
Do indie folks use this approach?
