What is "principal photography"?
Principal photography refers to the main phase of filming where the majority of the scenes for a movie or television show are shot. During this stage, the core footage is captured according to the script, involving the main cast and locations. Principal photography is typically followed by additional filming, such as pick-up shots, and post-production work, including editing and visual effects. This phase is crucial as it forms the foundation of the final project.
