Below displays the process that a film goes through, it is broken down into nine parts. However it is evident that the process takes time and can cost millions.
1) Idea
Where a writer, producer or director comes up with a “brainstorm” of a film plan
2) Development Finance
Once an idea has been built, they will then go to a group of investors where the ideas are pitched. If they feel it’s a strong film and want to invest in it, this will give the writers and producers money to develop the idea.
3) Script Development
An outline which breaks the scenes up. Sales treatment is needed for this, which is a small synopsis that gives the reader a quick/brief idea of what the film entails.
4) Packaging Moment
The chance for possible merchandise is available for the film. From here the genre can be established, as well as uncover potential cast names for the film.
5) Financing
Covers costs including investors and the chance for pre-sales as well as completion bonds, which is insurance that covers the film if it doesn’t get finished.
6) Pre-Production
Storyboarding, casting, equipment, set design and editing.
7) The Shoot
The filming side .
8) Post Production
Editing and sound effects are added in.
9) Getting a distributor
