Post-production is in fact many different processes grouped under one name. These typically include:
Video editing suiteEditing the picture / TV program
Editing the soundtrack.
Writing and recording the soundtrack music.
Adding visual special effects - mainly computer generated imagery (CGI) and digital copy from which release prints will be made (although this may be made obsolete by digital cinema technologies).
Transfer of film to Video or Data with a telecine and color corrector.
Typically, the post-production phase of creating a film takes longer than the actual shooting of the film, and can take several months to complete.
Other film production stages include (very broadly) - writing the screenplay, script development (rewriting), financing, pre-production, the actual shooting and film distribution / marketing
