B. During the editing, the composer (1) and sound editor (2) join the other filmmakers. As the composer prepares and records the music, the sound editor adds sound effects, background noises1 and additional dialogue.
C. The director works with the producers to find the cast (3). He or she sometimes meets tens of actors and actresses for each main role in a film. Their names are given in credits (4).
D. The idea is brought to life and recorded. The director and actors go onto the set (5) and rehearse2 in front of the camera operator. Then a scene is recorded. Usually, there are several versions of each scene.
E. The material is edited (6). Editing is the process of putting a film together in a final form. Every aspect of the film is analysed during editing.
F. The producer (7) or director finds a screenwriter/scriptwriter (8) who will turn that idea into a story that will work as a film. The screenwriter's job is to create the screenplay (9).
G. When the filmmakers think their work is finished, they first show the picture for a small group of outside audience. As a result some changes can be made.
H. Working closely with the producers, the director chooses the director of photography (10) who is responsible for the best possible visual look for the film, the art director (11) who is responsible for designing and creating the sets (12), and costume designers (13).
