Which activity is typically included in pre-production?

• A. Recording the footage on set.
• B. Editing the final cut.
• C. Planning, budgeting, casting.
• D. Delivering the finished video to client.

Answer: (C)

Pre-production focuses on planning and organizing everything you'll need before filming starts. This is where you map out the budget, schedule, and resources, and line up the cast and crew, ensuring the project has a solid foundation before any shooting begins. Planning, budgeting, and casting capture those essential setup tasks, making it the best fit for pre-production.

Recording footage on set happens during production, when filming takes place. Editing the final cut is post-production, where the footage is cut and refined. Delivering the finished video to the client usually occurs after production and post, as part of distribution or client handoff.
