Explanation of Pre-Production / Production / Post-Production

 In media, Pre-production refers to the tasks which needs to be completed or executed before filming. These tasks include a many things  such as hiring actors or models, building sets, budgeting, planning, scheduling, renting for equipment and tests.

Production refers to the tasks that must be completed or executed during the filming. Production includes the tasks of setting up scenes, the capture of raw footage and the usage of set designs so that a few of the many pre-production tasks can be named. In film creation, production is the second step as it follows the pre-production phase and then evolves into the next which is post production stage.

Post-production refers to the tasks that must be completed or executed after the filming ends. Post production includes editing the raw footage to cut scenes, inserting effects of transitions and sounds, working with voice actors and dubbing. This is the third and final step in film creation as it follows after pre-production and production stage.
