Video Production Stages There are three distinct stages of video production: pre-production, production and post-production. Large scale television and film productions will often have dedicated teams working on each phase. Pre-Production is the initial phase and can last months or years. Occupations involved in preproduction include screenwriters, producers, and directors.

Video Pre-Production Pre-Production - The pre-production phase of a project is where all the planning takes place. Video Scripting and Storyboarding Location scouting and selection Casting Sets / Props built Wardrobe designed and made

Video Production Stage Production - Production begins once video footage is shot or audio is recorded. It usually lasts about one month for smaller films up to a few months for larger ones. Occupations involved in video production include assistant directors and production assistants; electric, light, and sound workers (gaffers, grips, boom operators, sound technicians); makeup, hair, and wardrobe workers; cinematographers; and actors.

Video Production Stage Production Video Shooting footage: lighting, framing, composition, B-roll

Video Post Production During film post-production, which usually lasts a few months, the production footage is transformed into the completed film. Occupations involved in postproduction include editors, visual effects artists, sound editors, sound designers, and composers.

Audio Production Stages There are three distinct stages of audio production: pre-production, production and the post-production phase. There are two types of audio recording: studio and live. Pre-Production is the initial phase of both. It is the planning phase for the entire project.

Audio Pre-Production Audio Studio Pre-Production Composing: Creating an original piece of music: determine the tempo, key and structure. Live Pre-Production Set-up: Transporting and securing equipment, hiring a mobile studio

Audio Production The production phase of audio can last months (ADR or music CD’s) or years (music CD recording). For both studio and live production, this is the stage where the actual recording takes place.

Audio Production Audio Studio Production Recording: The process of capturing data or translating information into a recording format and storing it on some form of storage media (computer, tape, film, CD, DVD) Sound Recording: An electrical representation of sound waves (digital or analog) Live Production Recording of the performance

Audio Post Production Post Production - The post production process begins after all audio has been recorded. This is the stage when the final product is created. Audio Studio Post Production Mixing: setting levels, adding processing and effects (done per song) Mastering: preparing of the final mix from which all copies will be made, done per project Live Post Production Editing, mixing and mastering of the recording in a recording studio

Post Production (TV / Film) Audio Post Production usually refers to audio that is synchronized with video. One major aspect of audio post production is the use of automatic dialogue replacement or additional dialogue recording (ADR). Actors are sometimes brought into a recording studio to record some or all of their dialogue from the project after the production is completed. The director may feel the audio is lacking in quality or performance or the dialogue may need to be cleaned up for television.
