Production and Post - Production

Production:

The production is all the filming of the film, using the planned out scenes and script all done in the pre-production stage. Each scene if film up to how many times the director sees fitting, this is to ensure that the best piece of film is used for the post-production stage to construct the film. The strength of the pre-production is tested, a film set with good planning before filming would find it much simpler to film. Great care must be taken to make sure that all the filming is done correctly and all necessary shots are taken, as it would be sometimes very hard and almost unmanageable to re-film a certain scene when the film is in the post-production stage. 

Post-Production:This is the stage where the film is assembled by the editor. The first job for the editor would be to build a rough cut taken from sequences or scenes, based on individual shots. The purpose of this would be to ensure the best shots are selected to create the right scene. The next step would be to create a fine cut, this means getting all the shots to flow smoothly in a seamless story, to have one motion. Trimming is the process of shortening scenes by a few minutes, seconds, or even frames - is done during this phase. As well as the editing of footage, all music, graphics, menus are added in this stage. After the fine cut has been screened and approved by the director and producer, the picture is "locked," meaning no further changes are made. This means the film is now ready to be promoted to the public and cinemas.
