The Language of Post Production
Post Production SA is offering an introductory lecture covering the basics of film and TV Post Production - terminology and workflows, which will be useful to anyone wanting to know more about Post and particularly good for those junior editors or recent graduates attending either the AVID workshops.
The Language of Post Production touches on all aspects of post production, from on set DIT function and data backups, rushes, dailies, aspect ratios, codecs and transcodes, offline and online editing, grading, tracklaying, foleys, ADR and mixing, to international cinema and television deliverables. The lecture is aimed at anyone not familiar with the complex terminology and methodologies of international level post production. It is designed as an introduction to Post Production for all post novices and to provide an overview for production and camera crew.
