The term 'film production' refers to the making of a film, which involves the following stages:
- Development: during this phase, funds are raised to create the film, the set design is written and the cast is chosen.
- Pre-production: during this phase the individual scenes of the film are identified, the soundtrack is recorded and auditions are held to choose the future actors.
- Processing: this is where the film locations are visited and the costumes and sets are made.
- Post-production: the sub-phases are editing, the creation of special visual and sound effects and any dubbing.
- Distribution, where agreements are made with distribution companies to bring the film to market.
