Initial decisions on music are made at this point. Copyright clearances and royalties must be worked out for music and visual inserts. Moving to Rehearsals and Shooting 13. Depending on the type of production, rehearsal may take place either minutes or days before the actual shooting. This includes early walk-through rehearsals, camera rehearsals and one or more dress rehearsals.
Rehearsals generally take place right before each scene is taped.
The Editing Phase 14. After shooting is completed the producer, director, and videotape editor review the tapes and editing decisions are made. For major productions this has traditionally been done in two phases. First, there is off-line editing , using copies of the original tapes. More on this later.
