WHAT IS POST-PRODUCTION?

Post production is effectively the final step in the making of a film or television programme - a process of refinement and transition of raw materials into a finished product before distribution and release to the public.

Editing is a key function - of picture, sound, effects, or a combination of these, but there are other areas - telecine, sound, creating *DVD's and special effects to name a few.

Digitisation has dramatically altered the post production sector, with new editing and effects capabilities emerging all the time. Digital technology and computer-based editing systems allow for clearer pictures and smoother editing techniques, constantly improving picture quality, and making the traditional film cutting rooms increasingly obsolete.
Im in the stage of post-production now as i am editing my music video. I am half way through the editing process and have gone through using picture, sound, effects, or a combination of these. The picture above is an example of post-production process which includes the editing of clips, sounds, pictures and effects.
