We love to break it down, and simplify it
in such ways that you can apply it not only in filmmaking or professional television production;

These proven 3 stages of production in filmmaking will help you in producing your digital media contents.

The stages are:

📌 Pre-production
📌 Production
📌 Post-Production.

Now, let’s get into what you’re supposed to do under each stage.

📌 📍 In Pre-Production stage,
you’re still thinking. You’re formulating the ideas.
During this phase, the groundwork for the film or conttent is laid, and all the necessary planning takes place.

Your key tasks here include:
📝 Scriptwriting and development: Creating or refining the script, including dialogues, scenes, and overall storyline.
📊 Budgeting: Determining the financial resources required for the film and allocating funds for different aspects.
👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 Casting: Selecting actors and actresses for the various roles in the film.
🛣 Location scouting: Identifying and securing suitable shooting locations.
🤼 Hiring crew: Assembling the crew members, such as the director, cinematographer, production designer, etc.
🏬 Storyboarding: Creating visual representations of each scene to guide filming.
⏲ Creating a shooting schedule: Determining the order and timeline for shooting the scenes.

📌 📍 In Production stage 🎞 📽
you go into the actual shooting of the film.
It’s where the actors or participants perform their roles, and the crew captures the scenes.

During production:
🎬 🎯 The director works closely with the actors to guide their performances and bring the vision to life.
📹 🤳 The cinematographer, with the help of the camera or phone and lighting crew, captures the visuals according to the director’s vision.
🎡 The production designer ensures that the sets, props, and overall visual design align with the film’s aesthetic and storytelling.
🎙 The sound team records dialogues, sound effects, and other audio elements.
🚗 📸 The production manager oversees the logistics and ensures the production stays on schedule and within budget.

📍 📌 Now, you’re on Post-production:
After the filming is complete, the footage is edited, and all the final touches are added to create the polished film.

Post-production involves several tasks:
🎞 🖥 Film editing: The raw footage is compiled and cut to create the final sequence of scenes. Adobe Creative Cloud always comes to mind.
💬 🔊 ✂ Sound editing and mixing: Sound effects, music, and dialogue are added and balanced.
🗿 Visual effects (VFX): (conditional).
🌈 Color grading: The color tones and aesthetics of the film are adjusted to create a cohesive look.
