“To be a writer, you need a pen. To be a painter, a brush. To be a musician, an instrument. But to be a filmmaker, you need the collaboration of others to bring your vision to the canvas that is the movie screen.”

– Martin Scorsese

The Production Process

There are three stages of the production process.

Pre-Production

Production

Post-Production

Step 1: Pre-Production

Pre-Production involves all the work necessary to plan the film.

Production design involves researching and creating sets, costumes and makeup.

Storyboards are drawn.

Step 2: Production

Production is the work completed “on the set”.

It is the actual filming of the video, television show, or film.
