In this stage, whatever you have planned in the earlier stage of pre production is bring into action, and the video is made with the planned and created ideas in the pre production process. It is of utmost necessary that you follow whatever you have planned in the pre production process, and be careful at every step to avoid any unforeseen circumstances occurring. It is always necessary that everybody is doing their activities and implementing all the planned actions, and only then can you avoid unnecessary expenditure.
