STAGES OF PRODUCTION: POST-PRODUCTION
Post- Production is the last part of the Production process in filmmaking. In post-production the film is put together by an editor. With the progression of technology there are now two workflow variants: one is just using celluloid film, and the other using digital video. The original negative film developed and made into one- light work print (positive film). The film is then ready for editing via computer software. An edge/time code is then recorded onto the film to help find the frame positions although this workflow has become quite uncommon due to non-linear editing systems like Avid and Final Cut. The video frames them have production sound synced to them. The Editor then builds a rough cut- which is the film made out of sequences of the best individual takes (shots). After this a fine cut is made, which has all of the shots flowing to create the story and make it seamless (continuity editing), this also involves trimming. The Director and Producer have a screening of the film, if they approve it the film is then ‘locked’ which means there are no further changes to be made. The sound department is then bought in to record, mix, edit, and compose the music/sound effects / voiceovers/dialogue. If there are any computer graphics put in the film they are designed, and then put in the film. The film then becomes fully locked meaning the film is completed. Lastly the film is previewed, mostly by the target audience. Their feedback would be used to re-shoot or re-edit the film if needed.
