production, due to actor, director, and set crew salaries, as well as the costs of certain
shots, props, and on-set special effects. Everything that has happened up to this point is to make principal photography go as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
Communication between all parties is crucial during the shoot and the production must maintain a full set of records and strive to remain on time and budget.

Further information on Post Production can be found later on in Week 1 of the course.
