Cinema Post Production

Format
Often the image format editing in post production is not the same as the format used durring production, and is sometimes not the same format as is used for release. For example: durring production a film may be shot on 35mm, but after the film is developed it may be telecined (transfered to video) to be editied. Sometimes the video contains edgecode from the film. This is a kind of frame accurate reference so that every edit made to the video can be made to the original negative in preporation for a release print. Sometimes the telecine can be very high resolution and a release print is made right from the video in a process of video-to-film printing. And still other times the image will remain in video and will be released as a DVD or on TV.

Editing
Editing machines come in a variety of forms. From the moviola film editors to the non-linear digital desktop editors there are all kinds of ways to arrange the images captured durring production.

Sound mixing / Foley / ADR
Usually only the acots dialogue is recorded on set. This means that all the other sounds are added in post production. Footsteps, car noises, ambient sounds, all sorts of sounds are added after the production in a studio. Sometimes the sounds added are from a library and are just effects sounds. Sometimes the sounds are added by a special performer who watches the image on a screen in a studio equiped with all sorts of noise making devices and stuffs. This process is called Foley, and the person who creates the sounds are Foley artists. Once in a while a some of the dilogue recorded durring production is not of high enough quality to be used for release. In these cases the actors are brought to a studio and their lines are read over the original dialogue sound track. This process is called Automated Dialogue Replacement. Though it is not entirely automated there are some special ADR types of equipment that facilitate the process.
