1. An idea
a writer/director comes up with the initial idea for the film.
2. The pitch
A studio has to be convinced that the film is worth making. Normally the director/writer or their assosicates will make a summary of the plot and maybe show a made up clip of the proceedings.
3. The studio
once the funding has been granted by the studio, the team of directors and editors are brought together. Here the actors will then be casted to draw in bigger audiences.
4. Production
the film then goes into production.The location/s must be found to film the movie, the scenes are filmed in a specific order and normally put together at the post production stage
5. Post-production
The raw filming (called rushes) is edited in this stage. Here the scenes are stuck together, the music is added.
Editing is mostly done on computers. In the past, film was actually cut into bits and stuck back together “movie people still say an edited film has been 'cut'”
6. Release
the film is then marketed. The advertising process begins and the film is sent out to cinemas ready for box office.
