Post-Production Equipment

In this post I will be sharing the Post-Production process and what is involved within this stage.

What is Post-Production?
- Post-Production is when work is being done on a film or recording when the film or recording has already taken place.

By this stage the team will have formed and included a Producer, Director, Production Designer, Director of Photography (DOP), Sound and Editor.
- The producer is responsible for the overall organisation of the production including working with the Director and Production Designer to finalise the intial locations and actors which would represent and tell the story in the script.
- The Director would take on the overall creative role and responsiblity of the production, which involves the style of shooting and editing, working together with actors to deliver the overall story in the script includes conveying the emotion and dynamic of the characters.

According to raindance there are 13 steps of the Post-Production:
Pick an editing format
Hire a picture editor
Hire a sound editor
Do ADR
Do Foley
Secure music
Do re-recording/ the mix
Get an M&E
Get your titles
Get a DCP
Get a dialogue script
Get a campaign image
Get a trailer

Introductory to Personnel

Recruiting the best cast and crew is really important for any media industry production, it helps if they are working together to suggest they are the 'best team'. A production runs smoothly when individual members gel and work well as a group/ team. 

However, on a small production like the one I will be involved within the size of the team is going to be significantly smaller than that for a feature film project. 

My other posts in this section deal with my own recruitment where I have chosen my own team for my media project. This required lots of research into individuals and their own skill sets and which would be most useful within the production of my project. Making decisions involved in key roles, and most resourceful way to construct my team. 

Checking availability and ensuring that people are prepared and understand they will be working without pay.
