Time:

Time is the timeframe of which production takes place. It involves pre-production, production and post production. It is a long, difficult process which can go wrong with delays in production due to injury or director/cast changes midway through, or reshoots. The timeline goes as follows:

​

First, you come up with an idea/concept for the film. If it is an adaptation/property, the studio buys the rights to the property such as Marvel buying Fox.

Second, is a final idea is decided upon and developed in more detail. The script writer then begins to start the script.

Third, is the director, designer, producer and editor all meet to organise the budget and funding for the film.

Forth, is once the script and funding are organised, actors and crew are hired, storyboard, concept art, shot list and equipment are organised and location scouts are done.

Fifth is the shooting of the film can begin. The crew and director/editor/cinematographer are all involved in checking the shots are ok. The filming can take between 25 days to few months depending on its production status.

Sixth, is the editing can begin which is also a lengthy process. The director oversees editing to make sure everything goes well. Editing includes sound, putting scenes together, colour grading, light, speed, music timing as well as type of cuts.

Seventh, is when marketing begins such as making a trailer and posters. Marketing can go on for several months or a year up to film release.

Eighth, is once this is all complete the film premier needs to be organised which also involves lights, budget, equipment and cameras.

Ninth, is that you can now have the premier once the film is sent to licensed cinemas.

Locations and Facilities:

For Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, there was quite a few filming locations including Morocco, England, Austria and Malaysia with around 24 specific filming locations in total. To use these locations, there are a variety of steps the film must use. The first step is location scout when the production goes to look for a suitable location to use. Factors in choosing a location include the financial cost, overall suitability, availability of facilities to look after crew and actors, electricity, lighting and the most important, permission from the law/government/location owner. If a location is decided to be suitable, the crew have to check if it can be booked and if they can get permission. A contract or legal document would have to be signed by all parties involved including the production and location owner. Once a location is confirmed, it is unusual for filming to not take place. However, if the production crew break their side of the signed legal contract, legal action and a lawsuit may be taken upon the production crew which would cost a large amount of money. For Rogue Nation, this production would have to ask the RAF wittering for permission to film the opening plane scene, close down roads for the car chases and book out venues for the ball and concert scenes. Seperate companies are hired to make the costumes, props, editing and CGI.
