Post production

The post production is a long process, its basically after we have the footage/pictures part. The main focus is to perfect what we have. To better it and make it presentable and to the best of our abilities. I used Adobe premeiere to cut up all my shots and syn it in with the music.
I had to have a lot of practise on it before i could actually start my video as i was completley clueless and oblivious to what i was doing. Youtube Tutorials helped me immensly, so i knew how to utilise the tools and use it for the right reasons, instead of pressing random buttons and hoping one of them would work.

I absolutley thought that Photoshop was largely easier to use than premeire as there wasnt as many tools, also the fact that i took GCSE photography, which enabled me some knowledge beforehand. I still found it a little difficult to remember everything about "layers" and the whole process, however after doing it for a while, i got the hang of it.

I used a site called ipiccy and picmonkey to airbrush my pictures. It helped a lot as photoshop took a lot more time than this site. I mainly used the blemish remover,shift icon and colour editer.
Post production to me is when you try editing and perfecting what you've got. You have an overall view of the work you've done, and it's the basis of improving and reflecting over your work. Also part of the post production is uploading everything on the blog, which i seem to forget quite a bit, After we stop filming or taking pictures, we have to make diary entries explaining what we've done and how we've done it, we could either just type it up or film ourselves.
When i was doing my prelimary task, we had to take pictures, and then edit it. The editing part was what made the pictures in to respectable looking magazines, so without the photoshop it would just be a picture.
