Post-production is the final stage of filmmaking. The last and insanely important one. It is in this 'final straight' that we give style and character to every scene of the film.

Pre-production usually happens from behind desks, in the field on documentation or in casting studios. This is the time to properly prepare the set and assemble the crew.
Production means working on set, recording material in a specific location according to a script. However, once we have recorded all the scenes and realised the script, it is time for the final, most time-consuming stage. This is post-production. It is said to be the forge of character and style for a reason.

The post-production studio is a forge of character and style.

Students or trainees interested in post-production often take part in an experiment. Namely, the lecturer shows them edited but unprocessed footage that lasts literally three scenes. He then sets romantic music to this footage, appropriately pulls out the colours and sets the effects. To the same raw footage, he also selects horror music, from a horror film, and colours the footage appropriately to horror film standards. Such a procedure shows that the same material, the same scenes can be processed in two radically different atmospheric ways and can look good. Consequently, it shows how much influence post-production has on the character, style, atmosphere and even genre of a film.

In practice, of course, it is the case that from the very beginning we know what we want to achieve and what direction the film should take. Each stage only solidifies and intensifies this. However, the power of image and sound editing is immense and Tal na truth is what gives the film its final touch.

What exactly happens in post-production? How long does it take?

• First of all, we start by going through all the recorded material, all the shots, scenes. Then we make a selection and choose the best ones.
• Next, colour correction is very important.

Colour correction, otherwise colour correction is a work that has a huge impact on the perception of the material.
In the course of it, we will bring out the depth of colours, enhance the aesthetics of the film, adjust the colour temperature, make,
That it will look natural. This will unify the whole material.
It is important to remember that we end up filming at different times of the day,
We film from different angles, the characters are lit differently and the camera has different lenses.
However, if the aim is different, we can apply different filters, change the colour tone completely
captured by the camera. Such a process is called colour grading.

• We repair the problems encountered-any distortions, blemishes, image irregularities.
• We appropriately dub, synchronise sounds and dialogue, add special effects, set the right tone. We build an effective sound layer that enhances every event.

This will saturate and intensify the emotions that the viewer is supposed to feel in a particular scene.
If a film needs voiceover, at this stage we are also doing it - recording and backing it up.
We create atmosphere and emotions with sound. Surprise, emotion and even fear-all of it,
We even subconsciously feel through sounds.Sound and effects also create realism in the scene.
If we see it raining we must also hear it.
If we see someone creeping up the old stairs we should hear the creaking of wood.
When someone stops abruptly in front of a house it must be accompanied by a squeal of tyres.

However, when it comes to the duration of this stage.... there are no standards! It all depends on how fast you want to release the film into the world, on the skills and attention to detail filmmakers and on the quality of the equipment.
