Jobs in the video production industry can be broadly classified according to the three phases of filmmaking: pre-production, production, and postproduction. Pre-production is the planning phase, which includes budgeting, casting, finding the right location, preparing and approving the set and costume design, set construction, and scheduling. Production is the actual film making stage. It is during this phase that the actual recording is done. Post-production activities usually take place in editing rooms where the production video is shaped into its final form. This stage also encompasses important facets such as marketing, selling, and distribution of the video to potential customers and buyers.
