    Stages of
    filmmaking
    1. Development
    2.
    The start of a project
    varies, but generally
    will begin with
    development of a script,
    be that an existing
    script, a book, a brief
    story outline.
    Development may also
    start with a Director
    and/or Writer pitching an
    idea to a Producer.
    2. Pre-Production
    This is the phase where you
    would narrow down the options
    of the production. It is where
    all the planning takes place
    before the camera rolls and
    sets the overall vision of the
    project. Pre-production also
    includes working out the shoot
    location and casting. The
    Producer will now hire a Line
    Manager or Production Manager
    to create the schedule and
    budget for the film.
    3. Production
    During this phase it is key
    to keep planning ahead of
    the daily shoot. The
    primary aim is to stick to
    the budget and schedule,
    this requires constant
    vigilance. Communication is
    key between location, set,
    office, production company,
    distributors - in short,
    all parties involved
    4.Principal
    Photography

    This is when the camera


    rolls. It is nearly
    always the most expensive
    phase of film production,
    due to actor, director,
    and set crew salaries, as
    well as the costs of
    certain shots, props, and
    on-set special effects
    6.Post-
    Production
    This stage starts when
    principal photography
    ends, but they may
    overlap. The bulk of
    post-production
    consists of reviewing
    the footage and
    assembling the movie -
    editing.
    7. Distribution
    Once the film is
    completed, it must be
    distributed. This is
    how producers make
    their money back and a
    considerable amount of
    time and energy will
    be invested to secure
    the right distribution
    deals for their
    projects.
