1. Theoretical Evaluation Question 1A: Post-production

2. What is post-production? Post production is everything that is done after the production phase (photography, filming etc). It is the final stage of constructing your ‘raw images/footage’ into a finished draft. What are the main elements to post production? Editing the raw material Choosing and dubbing on sound (if film) Adding titles/text. Converting/Burning/Printing/Uploading.

3. What is editing? Brainstorm editing terms you could use in an analysis of editing. During AS year we studies editing for the TV drama section of the exam. Editing is often thought of a as a process of cutting down. It can also be the process of coordinating and connecting one shot to another. Editing can be split into two sections: Juxtaposition of shots. Transitions and effects.

4. Analysing editing How does the editing help to create audience meaning in this professional trailer? Make notes. Make notes for the same question this time looking at a student example. Task: Now write for ten minutes comparing how the editing makes meaning for the audience.

5. What to leave out? Think about your AS and your A2 productions. Make notes. How did you make a decision about what photographs to use for your music mag? How did you make a decision about what footage to use and leave out for your film trailer?

6. Post production difficulties For this question it is vital that you compare across AS and A2. What could have done differently during the post-production stage of your production work? Discuss. Thought about the editing/construction of mag before filming/photo shoot. Been more careful/organised in the selection of material. Had more practice on the software. Shared the burden of editing –A2. Looked closely at professional work- often we only look at pro work during the planning stage!

7. Look at your work on the wiki It is imperative that you look closely at your wiki pages and make notes on your work. Look at your work and make further notes in your booklets. Tomorrow: Practice questions Section A. 1A- post production 1B –audience.
