Production:

• Pre-Production - Pre-production is there all the planning and ideas in a movie take place, while trying to think of any possible problems and take care of them before. Casting also takes place in the pre-production stage, and as the face of your film, the actors chosen are very for its success. Schedule auditions, cast actors for all parts and hold rehearsals. Actors should also have the time to do research of their own in order to get to know their characters and understand them. Pre-production also includes screen writing, storyboarding and funding.
• Production - Production is the actual filming of the movie. During the filming, all audio and visual materials are being gathered.a large part of the crew takes place in this stage, in order to make sure the that the script is being followed accurately and the materials are of the best possible quality.
• Post-production - The post-production stage includes editing all of the materials that were gathered during shooting, assembling it into a fluent, consistent film. This is also time to insert the overlay of adjustments and effects that creates the full cinematic experience you have envisioned. Post-production usually takes longer than the production itself.

Distribution: Distribution is the process in which the film finally reaches the audience, and is therefore the final peak of the whole filmmaking process. This is done through film distributors, either by a theatrical distribution or for home viewing, such as DVD releases. Nowadays, a film can also be shared on the internet. Advertising is, of course, a part of this phase; use your marketing material in order to stand out in the busy world of media.
