What is pre production?

My own view on what pre production is ? I believe pre production is about preparing everything for example knowing where the location will be ?,how will the story/ narrative fold out, what will it look like?

Before the crew begins to go onto post production that is after the footage has been filmed and is ready to do the final creation of the film or tv program such as editing and adding in the finishing touches.
