Production Processes

http://www.filmmaking.com/the-process

This website defines the processes of film production within 5 simple steps. The 5 steps include:

- Idea and development

- Pre-production

- Production

- Post-production

- Distribution

I found these steps useful as they explain the processes of film production in a way that can apply to both ultra high budget films and low budget films. This is because, while it is detailed and descriptive in the steps, the steps themselves can apply to film production in general and doesn't limit itself to one kind of film or another, it simply describes film itself.

This information can help me when it comes to me creating my own film opening because It will give me a much better understanding of the steps I need to take and think of when I start planning later. Also, it will help me organise my time when it comes to the planing and when te start of pre-production to distribution.
