Major Project: Sunday League Post- Production Research

http://www.raindance.org/the-13-steps-of-post-production/

This website form Raindance has 13 steps to post-production from a Producers perceptive, it sums up that the hardest part of the film making is the production (filming) and the post-production is the easy bit as a producer as you just pay and editor and check in on them occasionally.

This website has 13 steps to post production, some of which don't apply to Sunday League and as low-budget we won't have different people for each thing.

This says one of the first thing to do is hire an editor which lucky for us we already have an editor and as they were cinematographer they already know what shots were taken on the film and roughly want can be done before starting, plus as they know they story and the footage already this saves us a lot of time for them to get to know and sift through.

Sound design will also be done by the same person and as they are editing they can add in the sound when they like plus they know what they want so we won't need to spend more time giving the footage once editing to another new person to do the sound effects, but we will be recording our own foley/fx and we have a website where we are able to buy effects too.

Stage 11 is for sub titling if we are to sell the film to other foreign countries so it can be sub titled, in order to so this a time coded digital script has to be made showing exactly what is said at exactly the second, this we won't be doing but as the editor is Latin American he can translate to Spanish to show the film off to.

The last point ont eh website says the post-production is a do-able process and to just take it one step at a time and to relax as the producer.

This Website is not that professional or reliable but with may different back-ups from other resources it states that simply the post production is the final stage in the film making and is the editing of the footage, transitions and the sound together to create the final piece which to put in words is a very basic simplified example.

A blog I found has a few tips on about post production and editing, even though I am not editing it is still good to learn as this could come in handy in this edit or another.
In the blog it talks about the more coverage the better for the edit and the more time spent on filming the easier it will be to edit together - this advice is good to know in advance especially as our editor is also doing the camera.

A lot of websites for post production talk more about the edit and what that entails rather than the what roles each person plays, this one has a good tips or watching the edit and create a paper edit (script) and a rough cut or what we call a sync assembly so we can see the film in the time line to see what flows and what will need changing and work the most.

This blog by Serif has a lot of detail on each step and stages of the post production form finishing filming to exporting the final film.
They cover what kinds of equipment you would need and what to do in steps from rough cut to final cut - the rough cut involves putting the wide shots of each scene into the time line to see the story before starting to cut anything down. Next come the unwanted bit at the beginning and end like the actions and cut.

This youtube video I came across shows an editor exactly what to do during the edit and for people that don't know what post-production entails or how to do it, it goes through the step by step process including colour grading and the importance depending on where you are showing your final film.


After researching on a lot of different websites I have food that there are a few different ways to go about the post-production stage but the main thing is to keep checking on the edit and watching it to make sure everything thing is going well and starts flowing as well this stage is a lot easier and less stressful than the actual shot, I have not covered how long the post-production stage takes as this ranges depending on the production but as we have a dead line we have to work with that will be your post-production time frame.
