Production Phases


Pre-production: The preparation of all production details. It includes all the preparations and activities before you actually move into the studio or the field on the first day of production. It usually happens in two stages. Stage 1 consists of all the activities necessary to transform the basic idea into a workable concept or script. In stage 2 all the necessary production details, such as location, crews, and equipment for a single-camera or multi-camera production, are worked out.

Production: As soon as you open the studio doors for rehearsal or a video-recording session, or load a camcorder into the van for a field shoot, you are in production. Except for rehearsals, production involves equipment and normally a crew—people who operate the equipment. It includes all activities in which an event is video-recorded or televised.

Post-production: Any production activity that occurs after the production, such as video editing or audio sweetening (a variety of quality adjustments of recorded sound). It may also include color correction of video clips, the selection of appropriate background music, and the creation of special audio effects. When using a single camera film-style, which means that a scene is built by recording one shot after another with only one camera, the postproduction activities may take longer than the actual production.
