Production:

Planning for the project begins at this stage. An idea turns into a script which is then individually broken down and all the locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual effects are identified.  A detailed schedule is produced and arrangements are made so that essential requirements (food) can be sorted out before filming started.

Filming is then carried out. All scenes that have been planned out are filmed at the relevant locations. Each scene is filmed repeatedly, to ensure the best quality scenes will be used to construct the film.  Great care must be taken to make sure that all the filming is done correctly and all necessary shots are taken, as it is sometimes difficult or impossible to go back and repeat certain events if the filming is incomplete when it comes to the post-production stage.

Then the film is assembled by the editor. The first job of the film editor is to build a rough cut taken from scenes based on individual takes. The purpose of the rough cut is to select and order the best shots. The next step is to create a fine cut by getting all the shots to flow smoothly in a seamless story. Trimming - the process of shortening scenes by a few minutes, seconds, or even frames - is done during this phase. As well as the editing of footage, all music, graphics, menus etc are added in this stage. After the fine cut has been screened and approved by the director and producer, the picture is "locked," meaning no further changes are made.

Distribution:

This is when films get from the edit house to the audience. This happens through:

1. Film festivals
2. Cinema release
3. Blu Rays
4. DVDs 

Marketing:

This is promotion and advertisement of a new cinema release. There are many different ways this occurs;

1. Billboards
2. On public transport
3. Trailers
4. Viral videos
5. Posters
6. Toys 

Exhibition:

Exhibition is how the audience get to see films. This is usually through big chain cinemas such as Odeon however it should be noted some small independent production companies don't make it into the cinema and rely on small festivals and straight to DVD to make revenue.
