25. Test shots

As part of planning, you will need to try out some of the shots you need to take for your major task in particular. You can take them in different settings, but focusing on the specific aspect related to it - for example, maybe you want to use a long continuous camera movement following a character and you are not sure how that will turn out? test it first.

Example of trying out a very particular type of camera movement inspired by David Fincher:

For Minor Tasks

You can prepare some test layouts for your works, see how any ideas you already might look like - maybe you want to do a physical collage that involves also painting, ripping paper and sewing it together- better try out those techniques now, before you run out of time later and having this already set up will give you even more freedom to experiment and come up with new ideas on the spot, based on this past experience you have now.
