Post-production

The post-production or post-production (English post- production) includes all steps of post-processing in the film, television and music production, and photography.

Post-production in film

For post-production of a film, especially the cut and the digital post-processing of images in the computer and the dubbing and inferiority of the images with music belong. The workflows in post production (English: " postproduction workflow" ) sometimes differ considerably; depending on what material was rotated as to the proportion of computer- generated effects to images is ( " Visual Effects" and " computer generated imagery " ) and that the final product is to be produced.

Post-production in photography

Furthermore, the post-production in photography takes place. After digitization of the image material retouching, color correction, image optimization, etc. made ​​in post-production. The post production is present in any professional work. The largest corrections are made in the field of advertising, beauty and cosmetics photography. Here, all pixels are processed: Complete hair, eyes, mouth, and all the skin is regenerated.

Post-production in music

For compositions, the mixing and the mastering are the last stages of music production to post-production. The mastering it deals with the final editing of selected audio tracks and their balanced merge into one unit, the sum signal ( engl. "stem "). It is used particularly in the pop and rock music on the use of sound effects and other design measures in order to achieve an audience of music -conceived as an attractive acoustic image. The conclusion of the post-production eventually forming the mastering before the Master (band) arises as a basis for the manufacture of discs.

Post-production in 3D visualizations

Post production is increased in the area of ​​professional 3D visualization and animation, especially in architecture rendering instead. After the rendering process on 3D programs, such as Autodesk's high-resolution visualizations are exported to image editing programs. Again, color correction, retouching and other image enhancements can be made in post-production, which greatly enhance the quality of the final product. Widely used programs are image editing programs from the industry leader Adobe. The post production in 3D visualization and animation in architecture should be present in any professional work today. Here, for example, real environment information is set into relation with the modeled structures to give me the best possible way to represent the nature and function of planned buildings the computer-generated images and sales process to support it.
