Film
production
Development
This is simply the
process of 'finding' a story. Ideas for films come from a variety of sources;
they can range from novels, real life events to computer game adaptations. Once
you've got an idea you'll need someone to write a pitch for you which you take
to a film producer in an attempt to get some funding to make your film. Even at
this very early stage you need a very clear idea of who you're aiming you film
at so you can include elements that will appeal to them.
Pre-production
Once you've got
funding you establish your budget and can begin to get a film crew together,
you can storyboard the script. You also need break the script down into
individual scenes and identify all the locations, props, cast members,
costumes, special effects and visual effects needed.
Production
This is simply the process of 'making' the film. Provided
you've done your job properly in the pre-production stage making the film
should be straight forward. 'Film' is very expensive and difficult to store so
an increasing number of film makers are using digital cameras to save money.
Post-production
During this stage you take all the 'film' you've shot and
give it to a film editor. They will then begin putting it together. Special
effects will be added, a soundtrack will be added, any missing dialogue will be
re-recorded and added resulting in a 'rough cut'. This will be shown to the
director and a test audience who will offer feedback. Often this causes scenes
to be filmed and added or removed.
Key roles

Film finance is a subset of project finance, meaning the
film project's generated cash flows rather than external sources are used to

of an editor isn't simply to mechanically put pieces of a film together, cut
off film slates, or edit dialogue scenes.
