Pre-Produktion
Pre-production is the process of preparing all the elements involved in a film, play, or other performance.
In the film industry, pre-production usually only commences once a project has been developed and is greenlit. At this stage a project will generally be fully financed and have most of the key elements such as principal cast, director and cinematographer in place, as well as a screenplay which is satisfactory to all the financiers.
