The Industry Workflow

Before you start editing, it’s helpful to consider how post-production fits into the

overall moviemaking workflow. Even though no two movie projects follow exactly the

same steps, there is a common workflow that almost every project adheres to. From

conception to completion, the basic steps to complete a film or video project are

described below.

Step 1: Scripting

Scripting is where the movie is conceived and written.

Step 2: Preproduction

This is where budgeting, casting, location scouting, equipment and format selection,

and storyboarding take place.

Step 3: Production

Production is where you create your footage, capturing performances using video or

film cameras, as well as audio recorders. Lighting, cinematography, acting, and

directing all come together to create the elements used to tell your story or deliver

your message. For practical reasons, scenes are usually shot out of order, which means

they have to be properly arranged during editing.
