The document discusses various aspects of audio production such as: 1. Studio layout and operation involves recording vocals or live audio using studio microphones and transferring the audio into software for editing and formatting. 2. Recording formats refer to capturing audio data onto tapes or disks, while file transfer involves transmitting files between computers for editing, backup, or sharing projects. 3. Post-production involves tasks completed after filming like editing raw footage, adding effects, and dubbing sound to cut together a final project. It follows pre-production and production phases.

11. Sequences

12. Production and Post Production
Stages and Processes
 What is post production? in digital video, photography, television and 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.
 Production stages = The second stage, production, is right after you get financing.
Now you quickly get everyone together and spend nine to eighteen days of 14-18
hours each, shooting from dawn to dusk. Pre-production is easy. Production is a
ball buster.
During production everything happens at once. The actors, lights, camera, props,
schedule, film stock, egos, temper tantrums, and all the rest. Production, although
typically presented as being fun and joyous, will probably be the worst two or
three weeks of your life. But you persevere. Somehow you get that Martini Shot.
Your film is in the can. You bring out the flat beer and celebrate. Everyone hugs
everyone (except you, the skinflint producer) and goes home. You pass out and
wake up approximately two days later.

◦ On-air - The talent in front of the cameras, such as Reporters,

leading the creative and editorial aspects of a production, such as

◦ Production Management - The team responsible for contracts,
budgets, organisation and bringing all the resources together,
including Production Managers, Production Coordinators and
Production Assistants.
