Film production is the process by which a motion picture film is created, from initial development to distribution. The process varies somewhat from country to country and from production company to production company, particularly for independent films. The stages include (very broadly):
Development:
Pre-production:
The film industry consists of the technological and commercial institutions of filmmaking: i.e. film production companies, film studios, cinematography, film production, screenwriting, pre-production, post production, film festivals, distribution; and actors, film directors and other film personnel.
Though the expense involved in making movies almost immediately led film production to concentrate under the auspices of standing production companies, advances in affordable film making equipment, and expansion of opportunities to acquire investment capital from outside the film industry itself, have allowed independent film production to evolve.
