The Stages of Film Production - Production

·         

The production process begins with shooting. Director, actors and crew gather at a television studio or on location for filming the scene. Every scene will be shot according to the shooting schedule.  The basic equipment used for production is cameras, lighting devices, audio recording devices, Jibs, trolleys and various rigs. The number of cameras used for shooting may differ according to the nature of film. Most of the studio productions like phone in films and music shows require only one camera, i.e., single camera production. 

Productions for reality shows, serials and group chats require more cameras and are called multi camera production. Lighting for production requires a number of professionals and equipment for better visual quality. Basic lights used in a production are of three types; namely key light, fill light and back light. The cinematography and lighting techniques will be supervised by the chief camera person or the director of photography.
