Post production refers to the tasks that must be completed after filming or shooting ends. This includes editing raw footage, adding transition effects, working with voice actors, and dubbing. Post-production is the third and final step of film creation, following pre-production and production. With digitization, the post-production process can be completed with higher quality and in less time. To create a professional horror trailer, specific post-production tasks are needed like cutting unnecessary footage, speeding up or slowing down parts to build tension, adding transition effects, incorporating eerie music and sounds, and adjusting lighting with filters if needed.

2. In film, post-production refers to the tasks that must be completed or executed
after the filming or shooting ends. This includes tasks such as the editing of raw
footage to cut scenes, insert transition effects, working with voice and sound
actors, and dubbing, to name a few of the many pre-production tasks. Post-production
is the third and final step in film creation. It follows the pre-production
and production phases.
With digitization the post production process can be completes in much higher
quality and the process will take up less time.

3. To create a horror trailer that has a professional finish, I will need to carry out
specific tasks during my post production.
Cutting the footage- cutting out unnecessary sections from the footage will allow
to create short takes which then are all put together to form a professional feel to
the trailer
Speeding up/Slowing down- changing the speed of the different footage will help
create an atmosphere and help to build up tension in the trailer. Speeding up
some footage will give the audience flashes of horror to get their hear racing.
Transitions effects- these effects are important to add when editing the trailer as
they will bring all the footage together. I will add different transition effects such as
fades and blink editing that will take us into the next shot.
Sound- the sounds used are a huge part of a horror trailer as they are what
creates the tension and atmosphere. The non-diegetic sound of eerie music and
voiceover of the main character will be used to create the mood in the trailer.
Lighting- the lighting is a vital aspect of the horror trailer as it allows us to follow the
generic conventions and will give the footage a dark and isolated feel. However
when recording outside if the natural lighting doesn’t give off this effect I will have
to add a filter to the footage during editing.
