Media production is the process of producing media content. There are three stages of media production: pre-production, production, and post-production.
Pre-production involves all of the planning aspects of the media production process before recording/filming begins. This includes scriptwriting, storyboarding, scheduling, logistics, and other administrative duties.
Production is the phase of audio/video production which captures the content and involves interviewing/filming the subject(s) of the content.
Post-production is the action of selectively combining those audio/video clips through editing software into a finished product that tells a story or communicates a message.
