1. The process of Film Production.

2. Development.
The first step in the development of the
film is the story. The Producer finds a
story that he or she would like to see
made into a film before creating a general
synopsis of the movie. This general
synopsis is then turned into a screenplay
and is drafted several times in order to
make it the best it can be.

3. • A film distributor is contacted to assess the
success of the film; taking into account many
different factors such as the target
audience, possible actors, genre of the film
and assess the potential success that it could
have to decide whether it is worth being made
into the final product.

4. A sales pitch is then created
to present the film to
financers and, if given the go
ahead, the creation of the
film then moves on to the
pre-production stage.

5. Pre Production.
Pre Production is everything carried out before
the actual shooting of the movie takes place. It
involves the planning and designing of every
little bit of the film such as storyboards, set
design, insurance is taken out, equipment is
acquired, and the cast and crew are hired. The
size of the cast and crew depends on the size
and budget of the movie however some of
them include;

the schedule is being stuck to.

18. Production
The production is the actual creation of the film. All
of the cast and crew should know where they have
to be and at what time based on the Schedule they
have been given. First of all, everybody who is
needed should arrive on the set, actors usually the
last to arrive so that the crew can set up things such
as makeup and hair. Whilst the equipment needed
for the day is organised, the makeup and wardrobe
crew get to work on the cast to transform them into
their characters.
.

19. The actors then get a chance for a final
rehearsal of the script before the
scene is shot. Everybody is warned
that filming is about to commence
using the command ‘Pictures Up’ to
ensure that everyone is quiet. ‘Action’
is the command given to commence
filming whist ‘Cut’ is given to stop it.
Once the day is over, the next
schedule is handed out so that
everybody knows where to be on the
next day. and occasionally a meeting is
held to discuss how filming is going

20. Post Production
Post Production is everything that happens
once filming is over. All of the editing takes
place in the post production stage; cutting
out any unneeded footage and selecting the
best shots to include in the film. The music
and non diegetic sound is added in as well as
all of the titles.

21. Once all editing has been done and the film is
complete, it is distributed to cinemas or to DVD. The
marketing and promotion of the film also happens
mainly in the post production stage, however
occasionally the teaser trailer is shot even before all
of the footage has been shot, in order to get an early
start on gaining publicity for the film.
Trailers, Posters, Merchandise and online advertising
such as websites are created at this stage. There is
usually a press party and several conferences as well
as the stars of the film participating in interviews and
photo shoots to help promote the film.
