A flow chart diagram based on the process of media source production.

Stage 1: The concept development: The idea of the media source made. This is where the concept is thought of. Every movie or show requires a concept in order to develop a basic formula of in-universe principle's for the movie or show to follow.

Stage 2: The script design: This is the stage in which the script is designed in order for chronological arrangement to be included in the movie. The script not only includes the speech and when it will be said, but it also includes camera angles, effects, sounds, and other factors featured in the editing and filming stages. These are all arranged in the script because the performers must be able to identify when they need to perform a certain action, reaction, or speech sentence. This helps in the later stages

Stage 3: The confirmation: This is where you make appropriate negotiations with certain companies regarding permission, exhibition, budget, and other various factors which allow the movie to be exhibited on a large scale via cinema screens. This stage involves a lot of arranging based on money, available props, and presenting the movie in cinemas. And it even relates to long term conditions, such as DVD releases.

Stage 4: The casting: This is the stage in which the performers are actually recruited via contract and payment arrangements to work as actors or actresses in the movie. The performers are who play the characters featured in the movie. In this stage, you go through a basic process of recruitment. This is where you make an advert promoting auditions for the roles of the characters, then, you decide the best acting volunteers for the jobs based on their talent, work ethic, and ability to play along.

Stage 5: The organisation: This is the preparation for the stage of filming. This is where you arrange what props are available for usage based on cost, style and other factors. This is where you purchase the appropriate equipment required for filming, editing, and further processes. Stage 6: The filming: This is where the magic happens. This stage is when the footage is created. Using a video camera, or other piece/s of high-tech equipment, you film the movie footage, using the script as guidance, and making sure that the lines are spoken correctly, and the props are in the right places. When filming, the speech must be at the correct time, and be of the correct emotion required for the storyline of the movie. Also, while filming, the camera angles should be checked. This is because the right camera angle is an important factor when considering representation issues.

Stage 7: The editing: Once the filming is complete and up to standard, this stage takes place. The editing is when the raw footage is taking and upgraded into a masterpiece. Such effects such as explosion insertion, colour and saturation changes, adding background effects, atmospheric modifications, and other changes and effects will be made in order to improve the footage quality by a huge amount. When the editing is completed, and all movie essentials are included, and the representation techniques are added, the process of creation is complete!

Stage 8: The final negotiations: The marketing and the final arrangements are made now. This is when you negotiate what company is going to publish the movie, what cinemas, regions, and people you will show the movie to. For example, will it be aired on a multinational scale, or just in one country? How will the movie be advertised? How big do you want the movie to be, considering how much you want to advertise it?

Stage 9: The distribution: This is where you arrange what companies you will distribute you movie to. In other words, it is where you decide what companies will be in charge of exhibiting your movie.

Stage 10: The advertising campaign: This is the stage when you, along with the other companies and people involved, launch an advertising campaign to promote the movie, and tell the public where and when it will air. Depending on the budget, how much it is promoted, and other various factors will determine the amount of interest and attention it generates.

Stage 11: The exhibition: This is what you have all been waiting for. The actual airing of the movie or media source. The stage in which the movie you have produced is being shown to a certain scale all over the place. You have finished the creation, arranged the finance and other factors with fellow companies who have supported you, and now your source of media is finally being aired to many people. This is the stage where you gain your rewards, basically

Stage 12: The critical reaction: The final stage. Your movie has gained an audience and now the overall response will come. You will receive the amount of money your movie has grossed from the exhibition stage, and will distribute it among all of the companies involved with the production and/or exhibition stages. Also, the response either being positive, negative, or neutral will affect conditions. Did the audience like it? Was it considered a good movie? This is the final stage which determines the outcome of the production of the movie.
