Postproduction

Postproduction is everything that happens between production and the final result. It’s like putting the finishing touches on a new house with details such as painting the walls and adding interior decoration. In a movie, it would be the stage in the process in which you add the final visual effects and retouch what was filmed during production.

Depending on the project, postproduction can be easy or hard, simple or complex, and it can involve just minor details or something really important. Postproduction is when you actually decide how the finished project will look.

Suppose you film two actors having a conversation inside a room. During postproduction, you can color correct the scene, switch it from day to night, change what will be seen through a window, blur things out, zoom in, or even add a new character! The possibilities are endless and they will define what people will see when you release your image, video, film, or whatever your project may be.
