Motion picture, video and television programme production activities

NACE code 59.11 covers the motion picture, video, and television programme production industry, which plays a vital role in the broader entertainment and media sector. This industry is responsible for the creation and production of a wide range of audiovisual content, from feature films and documentaries to television shows and commercials. As a key component of the creative economy, the 59.11 industry contributes significantly to economic growth, employment, and cultural expression across the globe.

The production process in the 59.11 industry typically involves several key steps. First, the initial concept or script is developed, often through collaboration between writers, directors, and producers. Next, the production team is assembled, including actors, cinematographers, editors, and various technical crew. Filming or recording then takes place, utilizing a range of specialized equipment and techniques, such as cameras, lighting, and sound recording. Post-production activities, such as editing, visual effects, and sound mixing, are then carried out to refine the final product before distribution and exhibition.

The 59.11 industry requires a variety of inputs to support its production activities. These include raw materials such as film stock, digital storage media, and other consumables. Specialized equipment, such as cameras, lighting rigs, and audio recording devices, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, including writers, directors, actors, and technical crew, as well as access to production facilities, such as studios and sound stages.

The primary outputs of the 59.11 industry are motion pictures, television programmes, and other audiovisual content. These outputs are then distributed and exhibited through various channels, including cinemas, television broadcasters, and online streaming platforms. The 59.11 industry's outputs are consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, such as 59.13 Motion picture, video and television programme distribution activities, 59.14 Motion picture projection activities, and 60.20 Television programming and broadcasting activities.
