Post-Production
Post Production is the fancy term for editing. With the director’s vision and guidance the editor shapes the clips from Production into a coherent story for audiences to enjoy. This editing process includes incorporating CGI and special effects, touching up shots if something got missed on set, and sound design and music being added. This step of the production process is what makes sure the film is "audience ready." It creates and cleans the story so that the film can touch audiences everywhere.
EDITOR
The editor begins cutting the movie, guided by the vision of the director. When the picture is locked (meaning, no further edits or changes), a colorist goes through every shot to digitally adjust and refine the hues and light to create continuity and strike a mood. An editor takes over to cut the trailer.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
Special effects (often abbreviated as SFX, SPFX, F/X or simply FX) are illusions or visual tricks to simulate the imagined events in a story or virtual world. Special effects are traditionally divided into the categories of mechanical effects and optical effects. With the emergence of digital film-making a distinction between special effects and visual effects has grown, with the latter referring to digital post-production and optical effects, while "special effects" refers to mechanical effects.
SOUND
When all audio tracks are finished, sound mixers step in to adjust audio levels. This is an integral step, as the strength of sound can easily overwhelm a scene if the music is too loud while characters are speaking, or distract from the narrative if the sound is too low and the audience can’t hear what is happening.
