The three stages of production are pre production, the actual production and post production this blog will give information about all three stages and how they are important.

Pre-Production

Pre-production is the process of fixing some of the elements involved in making a film or music video.In terms of film pre-productions begin when a project has been greenlit  which is when a project has been allowed to go on.This stage is mainly about finalising preparations for the production.This includes confirmed financing and key elements for the production e.g. cast members, director and cinematographer.At this point the screenplay has also been finalised and is agreed on by all financiers and other stakeholders.The script at this point is also broke down into separate scenes for the production.It is also the the point when the sets are made and all the crew who do the behind the camera work are hired.All of this is done with a very detailed schedule t make sure everything is ready for the actual production part of the process.
In terms of music videos it is when the recording artists crate and define their musical ideas.This is then followed by a demo recording to establish a premise.

Production

The production stage is the part where all the filming takes place.The goal of principal photography is obviously to record all required shots.Pick-up shots may be required when a mistake is noticed, a script change is made (this is unusual), or even if a performance is deemed to be unsatisfactory.In terms of music it is about the creative direction of the music video.The production stage is usually the quickest stage of the stages. 

Post-Production

     This includes tasks such as the editing of raw footage to cut scenes, insert transition effects, working with voice and sound actors, and dubbing, to name a few of the many pre-production tasks
