Week 02 AFTER EFFECTS


2022 | Martien Chong
Post-Production
The editing of audio and visual materials to
create a film. An editor assembles footage shot
by shot, adds music (either original or licensed),
and incorporates other visual and sound effects.
These elements are woven together to create a
multisensory experience we call a movie.
Post-Production Process
Offline editing
Focuses on the timing of the cuts, the pacing of
story, and communicating emotions.

Online editing
Color correction, effects work, final titles, and
audio are brought into the film.

Edit
This is the command center during
postproduction. The footage is transferred to
an editing system, then the editor begins
cutting the movie, guided by the vision of the
director.
Sound Edit
Sound editors are responsible for assembling
the audio tracks of a film, removing unwanted
noise, and creating sound effects.

Foley artists are included in this process, they


create or enhance on-camera sounds.
Music
Most theatrical films have an original score,
highlighting the mood or action of a scene. If a
director wants to license songs for the
soundtrack, a music supervisor secures the
recording and publishing rights.
Compositing
Compositing is the process through which two
or more images combine to make the
appearance of a single picture.
Sound Mix
When all audio tracks are finished, sound
mixers step in to adjust audio levels. This is an
integral step, as the strength of sound can
easily overwhelm a scene if the music is too
loud while characters are speaking, or distract
from the narrative if the sound is too low and
the audience can’t hear what is happening.
Visual Effects
Artists and engineers make up the special
effects team. They design the computer-
generated visuals for a film.
Color Correction
When the picture is locked (no further edits or
changes), a colorist goes through every shot to
digitally adjust and refine the hues and light to
create continuity and strike a mood.
Color Correction
Color correction is a technical process that
fixes color issues and makes footage appear as
naturalistic as possible. The idea is for colors to
look clean and real, as human eyes would see
them in the real world.

Color grading process adds atmosphere and


emotion to shots by coloring footage in new,
often unnatural ways.
Graphics
Title, credits, and graphics are created and
added.
Trailer
A new editing team takes over to cut the trailer,
which is a two-and-a-half-minute preview
meant to entice audiences to watch the movie
when it hits the screen.
