DIFFERENT PHASES OF PRODUCTION

Pre-Production• In preproduction, the movie is designed and planned.

The production company is created and a production office established. It involves matters such as scriptwriting, financial backing, hiring of cast and crew, and scouting for locations. The production is storyboarded and visualized with the help of illustrators and concept artists.

ProductionHere the movie is actually created and shot.

• The film set is constructed and the props made ready.

• The lighting is rigged, the camera and sound recording equipment are set up. At the same time the actors are ward robed in their costumes and attend the hair and make-up departments.

Production• The actors rehearse their script, dialogues and

routines with the director. The picture and sound crews then rehearse with the actors.

• The action is shot with as many takes as the director wishes.

• Each take of a shot follows a slating procedure and is marked on a clapperboard.

Production

• The clapperboard also serves the necessary function of providing a marker to sync up the video and the sound take.

• When shooting is finished for the scene, the director declares a "wrap."

• The director approves the next day's shooting schedule and a daily progress report is sent to the production office.

Post Production• Here the video is assembled by the video editor.

• Post production turns individual scenes, called raw footage, into a finished motion picture.

• Composers add background music to create dramatic or comical effects.

• During post production, an actor may have to return to a soundbooth in order to re-record lost dialogue or improve the original delivery.
