Process of Film Production in Saudi Arabia

Production Stage
The production stage is usually a sprint because it demands work, long hours of research, and collaborations between different departments to bring the film production to life. To keep down the expenses the production stage is kept short. An indie movie may only shoot for a couple of weeks, a blockbuster meanwhile may last for over a month or more, often the production process overlays with the pre and post production stage. 

Planning the shoot
The footage is being edited by the editor before the scenes are shot making sure that the coverage is complete and the assemblies are put together on time. This way they can spot any potential reshoots that may be needed. No two productions look the same. Beginning with the planning of the shoot, while the majority of planning happens during the pre-production stage, a shoot is constantly shifting due to unforeseen circumstances. Many of the positions, hard work during the shoot have also been working through the pre-production stage.

The Setup
Even though the crew shows up first, the actors have work to do before filming starts as well. First they need time to get their hair and makeup done by the hairdresser and makeup artist. Or depending on the size of the Film Production in Saudi Arabia, their assistants will do much of the work.  Our makeup artists are also often responsible for applying prosthetics when necessary. 

Start Rolling
If there are extras involved the AD will announce background to indicate when they should begin performing. Often the director and other lead creative watch the footage from the video village. An area equipped with monitor and chairs for viewing. A director of photography might choose to be their own camera operator. But a great camera operator can also be a great collaborator for our Film Production in Saudi Arabia. 

The DIT (Digital Imaging Technician) works with the director of photography getting the camera setting in line with the cinematographers desired look. They also oversee the offloading of footage from the camera to the DIT station. Meanwhile the head of the sound department and the sound mixer is in charge of capturing all the necessary sound sets. 

When the crew is finished with the location and moves to the next location. The time between the end of one shoot day and the beginning of the next is called the turnaround time. The whole process starts again on the next day of shooting. A production schedule may be lengthened if reshoots are required which may happen for a variety of reasons. 

With careful planning and a dedicated crew, we make sure our project goes off without a hitch for our next entry into in the stages of our Film Production in Saudi Arabia, post production where the final film comes together.
