The term production is used in reference to the development and creation of the film. This covers pre-production, production and post-production.
Pre-production: This part of the project includes everything that must happen before filming commences. This includes working out the location for shooting, the casting, and making the storyboard and script for the film.
Production: This is the part of the process where the footage is being recorded. It is also where the team look at the lighting requirements of the shots, the framing and it is also where composition is worked on, too.
Post-production: After all the footage is filmed, this is the part of the process in which it is turned into a film that people can watch. This stage of production includes editing, sound mixing, colour correction and addition of any SFX such as CGI.
What is distribution?
The term distribution is used to refer to what happens to the film after it is finalised. During distribution, the film is made viewable to the public. It is the distributors of the film that decide on the marketing strategies of the film, the release date of the film and the way the film is made available for the audience to view it. They also decide whether the film will go to the cinema to be viewed initially, or whether it will be released straight onto home viewing platforms, or streaming websites.
Here is a useful presentation that I found when I was conducting my research in the differences between production and distribution:
