Photo Retouching

Making movies is not simple task, but the workload is generally split into three sections: pre-production, principal shooting and post production. During pre-production, processes such as scriptwriting, financial backing, hiring of cast and crew, and scouting for locations takes place. Once all of these details have been worked out, principal shooting can begin. This is the actual filming of individual scenes, without any special effects or musical background. Because time is money, principal shooting days are often long and hectic for actors and crew alike.

However, all of this work only leads to the most important aspect which is post production work. Post production turns individual scenes, called raw footage, into a finished motion picture. Editors splice all of the usable footage together into a coherent storyline according to the script. Background music is added to create dramatic or comical effects. Special effects, such as computer-generated images and backgrounds are added as well to enhance the scene. All of this work can only be performed during post production.

Post Production Work

Post production also involves fixing mistakes not corrected during principal shooting. Quite often an actor's microphone will not pick up crucial bits of dialogue or another microphone may pick up extraneous noises. During post production, it is the editor’s job to correct such mistakes. Another function of post production is to add incidental sound effects not captured during the original scenes. It is these tiny bits of sounds that add the magical touch to any movie.

Many directors, producers and videographers rely heavily on the ability of post production professionals to create a professional film. Since principal shooting can be a hectic time for both actors and directors, some footage may prove to be unusable during the post production editing process. It is the video editor’s responsibility to eliminate scenes that are unsuitable for the final movie. Other responsibilities during post production may include promotional posters, cover designs and authoring DVDs.
