Narrative, or Documentary?
First, establish whether you are making a narrative short film or a documentary-like film.
Outline your idea.
Come up with a solid idea (but also one that you will be able to adapt through the production process), write your script.
Scriptwriting...
Consider the following things: Character development, plot development, an inciting incident and a character arch.
Story-board each shot in the film.
Decide what each shot in the movie is going to be. For example, wide shot, over the shoulder, tracking shot, close up, extreme close up, medium wide shot, etc.
Decide what you need for each scene.
Create a breakdown sheet.
Decide on the setting.
Will it be internal, exterior, or both?
Decide on props, actors, make-up.
