Postproduction: the final phase of the production process that assembles the images and sounds into the finished film.
*Anything and everything done to the footage after production is considered postproduction.
*Includes film and sound editing, special effects, score, and soundtrack.
*Most of the sound we hear in the final cut of a film is not the sound recorded during filming, including characters’ dialogue.
*The sound editors and designers add the soundtrack.
*Once very scene is shot, a “wrap” is called.
*The editor pieces together all of the footage in a way that stays true to the script and storyboard vision.
*The editor works in close contact with the director, selecting angles of the same shot and blending transitions and cuts in a precise and deliberate way.
*They use existing sound and may add up to 50 or more “tracks” on a single shot.
*Sound effects, enhancements, or even rerecorded ocala, done by the actors if the dialogue is not audible.
*Foley artists - add sounds that they create themselves, such as doors closing, feet walking, and glass breaking.
*Sound editors and foley artists work very hard layering and combining sound to aid in the overall aural experience of the viewer.
*Automated dialogue replacement (ADR): actors go into a sound booth and rerecord their dialogue for higher quality sound.
The sound editor syncs it all up.
Computer generated imagery (CGI): special effects and graphics that are created on a computer in postproduction. Includes car chases, large explosions.
*Composers work to write, compose, and conduct the musical score for a film, keeping in mind the mood and theme of the scene and overall film. This score may be strictly conducted by the composer or may also include prerecorded songs from popular or new artists.
