3. Development stage
 Development stage is to turn the rough idea into a
financial script ready for procution.

4. #1 Step by Film maker
 In this stage, the project producer selects a story,
which may come from a book, play, another film, true
story, video game, comic book, graphic novel, or an
original idea, etc. After identifying a theme or
underlying message, the producer works with writers
to prepare a synopsis.

5. # 2 Step
 Next they produce a step outline, which breaks the
story down into one-paragraph scenes that
concentrate on dramatic structure. Then, they prepare
a treatment, a 25-to-30-page description of the story,
its mood, and characters. This usually has little
dialogue and stage direction, but often contains
drawings that help visualize key points. Another way is
to produce a scriptment once a synopsis is produced.

6. # 3 Step
 a screenwriter writes a screenplay over a period of
several months. The screenwriter may rewrite it
several times to improve dramatization, clarity,
structure, characters, dialogue, and overall style.
However, producers often skip the previous steps and
develop submitted screenplays which investors,
studios, and other interested parties assess through a
process called script coverage. A film distributor may
be contacted at an early stage to assess the likely
market and potential financial success of the film.

7. # 4 Step
 Hollywood distributors adopt a hard-headed business
approach and consider factors such as the film genre,
the target audience and assumpted audience, the
historical success of similar films, the actors who
might appear in the film, and potential directors. All
these factors imply a certain appeal of the film to a
possible audience. Not all films make a profit from the
theatrical release alone, so film companies take DVD
sales and worldwide distribution rights into account.

8. # 5 Step
 The producer and screenwriter prepare a film pitch, or
treatment, and present it to potential financiers. They
will also pitch the film to actors and directors
(especially so-called bankable stars) in order to
"attach" them to the project (that is, obtain a binding
promise to work on the film if financing is ever
secured). Many projects fail to move beyond this
stage and enter so-called development hell. If a pitch
succeeds, a film receives a "green light", meaning
someone offers financial backing: typically a major film
studio, film council, or independent investor. The
parties involved negotiate a deal and sign contracts.

11.  Two men wake up at opposite sides of a dirty, disused bathroom,
chained by their ankles to pipes. Between them lies a dead man loosely
clutching a hand-held tape player and a handgun. Each finds a tape for
the player in their back pocket. They play the tapes. One is threatened,
the other isn't. But they have a task: One must kill the other by 6:00, or
his wife and daughter will die. They find hacksaws in a toilet, and try to
cut the chains, but it doesn't work. They are the two newest victims of
the Jigsaw Killer. In a flashback, we learn of Amanda, a girl who falls
victim to the Jigsaw Killer. On her head is a mask, which is hooked into
her lower jaw. There is a timer on it. Only one key will unlock it, and that
key is in the digestive tract of her cell mate who lies paralyzed on the
opposite side of the room. If she doesn't unlock the mask in time, her
lower jaw will be ripped wide open. She survives, but her cell mate
doesn't. Through a series of flashbacks, we learn of more victims, and of
the nearly-successful capture of the Jigsaw Killer, who doesn't actually
kill his victims. Instead, he finds ways to make them kill either
themselves, or each other, and he thinks the entire 'game' out perfectly,
with no other ways out. Or so it would seem.
