This document provides an overview of the video production process from pre-production through post-production in 3 main sections:
Pre-production discusses planning elements like scripting, location scouting, determining needed equipment and gear. Production covers using cameras, audio equipment, and other production tools on location or in a studio. Post-production reviews editing video and audio, color correction, output and keeping the final video concise for audiences.
