Production

Once you have everything planned for a project, it’s time to start with the actual job, which is production. In a movie, for example, production would be the stage of the project in which the sets are built and the scenes are filmed with the actors and props in place as planned during preproduction. Thorough preproduction will help you complete production more easily and in a more straightforward process.

Production is probably the hardest stage of a project because it’s the point of no return. After production is completed, it’s very difficult to change things. Let’s say you’re building a house; during preproduction, it’s very easy to change the design of the house using a computer or an architectural drawing, but it’s really difficult and time-consuming to make changes once the walls are in place!

That’s why preproduction is crucial: it helps you make sure you’re not going to make mistakes while you’re developing the final product. Production is difficult enough; there are a lot of challenges and it’s impossible to predict every possible problem that might arise until you’re actually making the product, so any preparations you can make to smooth out the process helps a lot.
