The Production Process
The production process refers to the stages (phases) required to complete a media
product, from the idea to the final master copy. The process can apply to any type of
media production including film, video, television and audio recording. The stages in
each medium vary; for example, there is obviously no storyboard in an audio
recording. However the same general concepts work for any medium.
The three main stages of production are:
1. Pre-production: Planning, scripting & storyboarding, etc.
2. Production: The actual shooting/recording.
3. Post-production: Everything between production and creating the final
master copy.

2. Other stages include:
• Financing: This happens before pre-production, and involves budget
forecasting, finding investors, etc.
• Screenplay: This can be considered a separate stage before pre-production.
• Distribution: After post-production, delivering the content to the audience
(e.g. film prints, CD/DVD, etc).
