Production periods

Pre Production
This is the planning stage, this is the time when ideas are thrown around between the designers and the clients, often alot of time is spent in this period as both parties try to sort out the fine details before production of the product begins. The better youre company is at pre production methods then this makes for a faster and better quality product with less problems during the production as everything is planned out precisely.

Production
This is the stage where all the ideas are finalized and put into practise, this is where all the raw data and footage is collected/filmed. Everything that is needed for the final product is gathered during this period, generally a rough draft of the final product is completed.

Post Production
All the raw data and footage is now put together and details are put in place. Many do-overs happen in post production and sometimes the company may have to go back to the production stage and get new data etc if the client isnt happy with the results in post production, which can be costly to both parties. So thats why Pre Production is so important.
