• A. After principal photography
• B. After editing begins
• C. When the planning ends and content starts being produced
• D. After the premiere

Answer: (C)

Understanding the transition from planning to making content. Pre-production is all the planning, development, and organization done before filming starts. It ends at the moment planning wraps up and actual content creation begins, i.e., when filming and related production activities start. This boundary marks the move from planning to production. Producing content (filming) is what defines the start of production. Tasks like principal photography occur during production, editing happens in post-production, and the premiere is after all production and post-production are finished.
