电影制作（filmmaking、或称电影制片）指的是制作电影的过程。

电影的性质决定了制作期间所需工作团队的规模大小和类型。许多好莱坞冒险电影需要电脑运算的影像（CGI），必须由非常多的3D模型设计师、动画师、动态描绘师和其他人员来制作。然而，一部预算较低的独立制片电影，可能仅由小型的工作团队制作，通常薪资待遇也较低。全世界每个地方使用着各种不同的技术、演出和类型风格进行电影制作，并且也有截然不同的预算范围，从中国大陆县市政府出资赞助的纪录片，到在美国的制片厂系统内，完全以商业利润为导向的电影制作。

Filmmaking (or in an academic context, film production) is the process of making a film. Filmmaking involves a number of discrete stages including an initial story, idea, or commission, through scriptwriting, casting, shooting, sound recording and reproduction, editing, and screening the finished product before an audience that may result in a film release and exhibition. Filmmaking takes place in many places around the world in a range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques. Typically, it involves a large number of people, and can take from a few months to several years to complete.
