" Three P's"

A Linear process model known as the Three P's gives elegance and simplicity for planning, design, and production of video, film, and audio projects. This widespread three-phase moniker stands for preproduction, production, and postproduction.

Preproduction: The planning and preparation phase of a project. Preproduction can be broken down into many task, processes, and sub-processes which are meant to establish the scope, direction, time frame, and cost project before spending on actual production.

Production: The acquisition phase of a project when all the physical media is shot or recorded. Producer(s) and the creative team members are  all involved in this process.

Postproduction: The assembly phase where the first cut soon becomes a rough cut. Much finishing and polishing is then doing to the final cut so that the project gets the final approval, or locked. At this stage all individual components are unified into a finished product.
