The Production Progress

The Production Progress

Every film starts of with an idea. The writers would start of with a storyline. This would be part of pre-production, as its all about planning. Producers would need to plan and look into cast/crew, money, locations, deadlines, etc. Next would be production. You would need actors, a script, camera/equipment, accommodation, etc. This would be the part of the actual filming progress.
You would need people to edit the film together and create sound. This would be post-production as this would be the last part of the film process. Examples such as foley, special effects, marketing.

The Executive producer is top of the list because they oversee the filmmaking. Then we have a producer, they are responsible for the managerial parts of making the film. The director directs people to make the film and is up to him/her to make saw everyone's doing the right thing.

Then it leads to several departments as shown on the organisation tree. Such as editing, music, sound, photography and art.
