General questions
What is involved in the process of principal photography?
Chosen answer: Principal photography is simply the shooting of a film, whether on location on city streets, on an island somewhere or on set at a studio, etc., during a specific number of months - for instance beginning in the summer of 2005 carrying into the spring of 2006. Many times the production can be halted or pushed ahead because of actors' and crew's schedules or even strikes. Once principal photography is wrapped the actors go on to their next project and post-production attends to things like CG work, numerous sound effects - like foley and special effects, and if necessary (usually it is) actors come to the studio for looping/ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) or pickup shots - usually close-ups for a particular scene, which means that the actor's 'look' in the film has to be duplicated.

Manhunter (1986)
Trivia: To get himself into character, Tom Noonan asked that none of the cast members, either people who are after him or whom he is after, be allowed to see him. The first time Noonan met William Petersen is the scene in which Will Graham crashes through the window of Dollarhyde's house. Noonan admits that, because of his request, the atmosphere on set became so tense, people actually became afraid of him. Noonan also asked that those crew members who were allowed to see him refer to him as "Francis."
