Explanation of post/pre production

Production is the time spent on set filming. Pre-Production will have been carried out before production, so that the location, storyboard, shot list, risk assessment and shooting schedule will have been planned so you know what needs to be done and so that you can get straight into the production. Using all of the information gathered in pre-production, filming will be started to create the opening title sequence.  

In production it is important to film the same scene more than once, so that we get the best shots and that any bad shot do not need to be re-filmed. When filming it is important to consider composition, techniques such as the rule of thirds, framing and the 180 degree rule. These will add to continuity in the editing stage at post-production and make the filming look more professional and appealing.
