Principal photography facts for kids
Principal photography is the main part of making a movie when all the scenes are actually filmed. It happens after all the planning (called pre-production) and before the editing and special effects (called post-production). Think of it as the time when the cameras roll and the magic happens on set!
This stage is often the most expensive part of making a movie. This is because it involves paying the salaries of all the actors and the large crew who work on the film every day. Also, some movie scenes need expensive special props or special effects that are created right there on the set.
Why Movies Need Insurance During Filming
Big Feature movies usually have special insurance during principal photography. This helps protect the movie if unexpected problems happen. For example, if an actor gets sick and can't finish their scenes, the insurance might help pay for changes. It can also help if sets or filmed parts of the movie get damaged. This insurance helps make sure the movie can still be finished, even if there are big challenges.
