Explanation:
"General production" is not a common English movie/filmmaking industry term. Producción general is widely used in the Spanish industry, and I believe it refers to overall production. As seen in these glossary entries, overall production refers to the entire movie project. You might also use "overall production" instead of production.

Executive Producer
AKA: Executive in Charge of Production
A producer who is not involved in any technical aspects of the filmmaking process, but who is still responsible for the overall production. Typically an executive producer handles business and legal issues. See also associate producer, co-producer, line producer.

Production
AKA: In Production, Production Date
In the movie industry, this term refers to the phase of movie making during which principal photography occurs. Popularly, however, "production" means the entire movie project. See also pre-production and post-production.
