Produsaison

Produsaison is a term used in the context of film and television production, particularly in French-speaking countries. It refers to the period of production during which a film or television series is actively being shot. This phase is characterized by the principal photography of the project, where actors perform their roles, sets are used, and the director oversees the filming process. The term "produsaison" encompasses all activities directly related to capturing the visual and auditory elements of the production on set. It is a critical and often intensive stage in the overall filmmaking process, following pre-production activities like scripting, casting, and location scouting, and preceding post-production, which includes editing, sound mixing, and visual effects. The duration of the produsaison can vary significantly depending on the scale and complexity of the project. Efficient management of this phase is crucial for staying within budget and schedule.
