American Hollywood film production system

The nature of the film determines the scale and type of work team needed in the production process. Many Hollywood adventure movies need computer-generated images (CGI), which must be produced by many 3D model designers, animators, dynamic painters and others. An independent film with a low budget may only be produced by a small team, and usually the salary is very low. Every place in the world uses different techniques, performances and styles to make movies, and it also has a completely different budget range, from documentaries sponsored by county and city governments in Chinese mainland to American studio movies, which are completely oriented to commercial profits.

And turn it into a blueprint for shooting.

Pre-production: To prepare for the actual shooting, actors and teams will be hired, shooting locations will be selected and scenes will be set.

Mid-production: shooting the original footage of the recorded film content.

Post-production: editing the film and editing the dialogue in the play at the same time (but separate from the film); Create, play and record background music (and songs), design and record sound effects; Make and add computer "visual" digital functions. All audio elements are mixed into a master track named "stem", and then the master track and the movie are merged. At this point, the film was officially completed (Hollywood called it "locking").

Sales and distribution: hold a preview film for potential buyers (distributors), and the distributors will send the film to cinemas and/or distribute it to home digital media such as DVD.

The Hollywood-style production process usually takes three years. 1 year is the development stage, with pre-production and formal shooting in the second year and post-production and distribution in the third year.
