Processes Edit
Typically, the post-production phase of creating a movie or program takes longer than the actual shooting.[2] It can take several months to complete because it is many different processes grouped under one name.[2] These typically include:
- Video editing the picture of a television program[3]
- Writing, re-recording and editing the soundtrack.
- Adding visual Special effects - mainly computer-generated imagery (CGI) and digital copies
- Sound effects, ADR, Foley and Music[3]
- Reshooting scenes as necessary[3]
- Transfer of Photographic film to Video
