I do table reads with the actors to fine tweak the script. I may either start working on my shot list or actual blocking with the actors before shot list.

This may be old school. But I draw a line down the side of the screenplay showing how long a shot will take. I then draw the shot. I have added an example I quickly put together.
You cannot see it in the pic. But there are numbers beside the drawings.
Great idea, Craig D Griffiths. Storyboarding in the script.

Very old school and physical proof I cannot draw.
You draw fine to me, Craig D Griffiths. And stick figures are great for storyboarding.
