It includes a large number of people and, in that case, it also involves a long time to complete. 1 The starting point is the initial idea, or the story: the script is prepared from this. The next stage is the preparation of the film. The director and the producer must decide about the crew, that is, the people involved, the locations, sets and also the costs. 2 At this point, the production phase can start. The director begins shooting the film, the actors start acting: they rehearse the script as many times as the director wishes, until everything is perfect. The many technicians work hard to prepare all that is needed: sets, lighting and dressing. The various raw elements for the finished film are now ready and recorded. 3 In the so called post-production phase, the members of the crew have to add music tracks and songs, sound effects and also visual effects. This work is done digitally nowadays, using programmes such as Photoshop. Finally, the film is assembled and released to cinemas, so that the public can watch it. When the film is successful, the production company and the distributor share the profits. 54
