Film production involves the process of making a movie or
video, from the initial idea and screenplay to the finished product. It
typically involves several stages, including development, pre-production,
production, post-production, and distribution.

During the development stage, a producer or writer creates
an idea for a film or video and develops a script. In pre-production, the
producer hires a director, cast, crew, and other essential personnel, and
scouting locations, sets, props, and other logistical preparations.
