The very first step of making a film is an outline of an idea. Usually this is given to a writer by a producer to start writing a basic script. This will then go back to the producer for him to read through and then he will pitch it to the production company to apply for funding. Depending on the movie the funding will depend on the type and ambition of the movie. Funding can be increased if the studio has done market research to show that this genre will be a success. For example they employ a big name actor or actress like Tom Cruise to star in their film this can drive up the budget to ensure they are onboard with the film and this will ensure the film is bankable and could help to sell the film because people might go and see the film just because of a well known actor.
Then they would employ a director, this has to be the right director suited to the film, for example you don't want a director who's style and previous films are romantic comedies to do an action war film, you have to tailor the director to the film. Often when you get a director they have a preferred crew and staff.
The director will be onset for three to four months directing the cast and crew through the production process, and even when the filming is done the director will instruct the editing and CGI and post production.
