 The Production process goes through three main stages. First pre-production For a small video company, pre-production may refer to everything that happens before shooting begins, for example, meeting with the client, research, storyboarding, location planning, etc. For feature films, pre-production is more specific and only begins when other milestones have been met such as financing, screenplay, casting and major staffing.
 In this case pre-production includes:

·       Prop and wardrobe identification and preparation

·       Special effects identification and preparation

·       Production schedule

·       Set construction

·       Script-locking (semi-finalisation of the script)

·       Script read-through with cast, director and other interested parties

·       Location scouting

The next stage is called Production this is when the film is actually shot with the setting, actors, props etc. The final stage is called Post production this is one of the major stages task in this stage include:

·       Editing video footage

·       Editing the soundtrack, adding sound effects, music, etc.

·       Adding titles and graphics

·       Colour and exposure correction

·       Adding special effects

·       Re-shooting certain scenes if required ("pick-up" shots)

In some cases this could be straight forward however there are other cases where re-shooting and other editing need to be done and this could be very time consuming.

Distribution, the way a film is released in order to be seen by its audience, this can be done in several ways. This could doe through a theatrical release, a home entertainment release, television program or digital distribution. 

Marketing,
one of the main stages is marketing, the way that the film, TV drama or even documentaries are advertise to potential or current customer is very important as it gives the consumer the impression of what they are purchasing. Bad advertisement will be seen and substitutes would be what consumers will be looking at however if marketing is done properly consumers will be willing to spend on something that they think will worth their money.

Exhibition, Films are exhibited in many different ways they could be shown in a theatre with live actors or showed in the cinemas where millions of people go to watch the latest releases also streaming films online is a new method which people prefer as they are more comfortable watching from home.
