Production
there are different stages of production:
PRE PRODUCTION: this is the stage before making the actual film, this includes the planning. planning is making the synopsis of the film and having a ruff idea of what the films about. you then make a storyboard which shows the clips and main events of the film. then you start getting cast together and the locations that would be Efor each of the scenes and also the props.
PRODUCTION: this is the literal making of the film everything being planned being put into one. locations that were allocated now being filmed. some scenes can be filmed a numerous amount of times until the director films the 'take' is good enough to use.
POST PRODUCTION: This is when the film is given to the editor. The editor takes out all the takes to start off with and then does the more difficult editing.
Distribution

Marketing
There are many ways of publishing the films(buses,billboards,television) advertising the film depends on who the audience is.
