Film Production


1) The Idea - the writer/director/producer comes up with an idea for a film

2) Development Finance - The person who came up with the idea then goes to a group of film investors and pitches their idea to them. If the group like the idea, they will give the writer some development money to further develop their idea.

3) Script Development- A script writer is then asked to write a script for the film, and a sales treatment which will be used to sell the film to investors.

4) Packaging Moment- Merchandise is produced for the film, in order to make some money before the film is produced and released. The genre of the film is also decided, in order to determine the audience for the film. A storyboard is also created with the cast listing.

5) Financing- Investors, Pre-sales, Insurance. Completion Bond – if the film doesn’t get finished the completion bond will insure the investors don’t’ lose all of their money.

6) Storyboarding, Casting, Equipment, Special Effects, Set Design.

7) The Shoot – the film is made

8) Post Production- editing of the film, sound, editing rough cuts and endings
