Film production is a multi-stage process that transforms an idea into a finished movie. It typically begins with development, where the concept is born, scripts are written, and financing is secured. Next is pre-production, which involves casting, location scouting, and planning every detail before the cameras roll.
The production stage is where the actual filming happens, this is the most visible part of the process. After that comes post-production, where editors, sound designers, and visual effects artists shape the raw footage into a polished film. Finally, distribution ensures the movie reaches audiences through theaters, streaming platforms, or festivals.
