Development - The idea is then evaluated and must be original. If the idea is successful, a writer is hired to complete the treatment of the story and the budget is taken into account at every point of the process.
Pre-production - Where the planning, scripting and the storyboard must be completed.
Post Production - This is where the film is edited, the directer or producers will alter the editors work as they please until they are happy.
Distribution
The completed film is sent to the studio and the studio will make a licensing agreement with the distribution company. The company then decides how many prints/copies to make of the film.
