According to Screen Australia, post-production is the third and last step in making a video. A complex process, including a wide range of professional services, expertise, and software, must be followed to produce a finished version of your movie or film.
“After your footage has been captured, you’ll go into the post-production stage of the production process, where you’ll edit your film reels and polish the appearance, sound, and feel of your movie. The film takes shape as a finished product during this final phase. It is almost similar in the printing industry as per the process,” says professional editor Jackson Taylor of Printing Shop—one of Australia’s trusted businesses in the printing industry.
This article will delve into the post-production process and explain why it’s crucial for producing a unified, captivating result.
Editing
Editing is the process of turning an uncut film into a compelling narrative. Finding the best takes from the footage, putting it into a sequence, tweaking the timing of the edits, and putting everything together, including the colour grade, motion graphics, and sound design, are all included in this process.
Colour Grading And Correction
Consider colour grading as a spice for the dish you are preparing. Unseasoned food will keep you alive, but adding a little thyme and rosemary makes it much more delicious. The colour adds flavour to the video in the same way.
Any issues with the footage are fixed in colour correction, such as changing the white balance or exposure to match the surrounding clips. You give the video a style in colour grading, such as the iconic Michael Bay teal/cyan hue.
Graphics
To help the audience “see” your messaging, graphics are designed, drawn, and, more often than not, animated elements. They can be anything from a name key in the lower third of the screen to on-screen explanation text to a wholly animated story.
Additional Effects
Shots you assume to be exactly as you see them were most likely created using a green screen and a ton of compositing or the stacking of various effects. If you don’t have the funds to blow things up, you can create an explosion using special effects, which is the art of producing an illusion. A green screen can be used, as well as establishing a background for your talent, as special effects.
Design for Sound
The process of balancing audio levels, adding and adjusting music, and incorporating sound effects is known as sound design or audio sweetening. The theatre of the imagination enters the picture at this point.
The sounds used at the right time can completely alter the mood of a movie or film. A mixed-media format called video combines both audio and visual components. An audio track gives a scene greater depth, texture, and emotion. It supports the story.
