My role in the post-production of this film has been relatively minor thus far. Our film is not finished yet and editing on the actual film has been going on for only a couple of days.

I have sat in on one editing session, however it was mainly concerning the syncing of audio and organising of footage. It was helpful having three people in the editing suite, as shots that where slated incorrectly or footage that could not be easily paired with its respective audio recording was able to be found through recalling specific slating errors or remembering specific shot troubles on the day.

I also plan to sit in on and contribute in editing sessions next week before the assignment is due. Seeing as I have a base level of experience in post-production, and shot the footage, I think I will be able to help in enhancing the overall visual appeal of the film through assisting with the colour grade and editing.

A challenge in this area, and also something I need to keep in mind for future projects was my mistake with filming. Unfortunately I had turned down the audio levels on the camera for the first shooting day – meaning that half of the audio was more difficult to sync to the footage in post-production. Although it can still be paired – This was a prefect reminder to double check all the aspects of my role and the camera on shooting day. I remember reviewing footage on the first day and briefly thinking about the absence of audio on the camera, however did not think to check the levels on the side of the camera. this is also a reason it was beneficial sitting in on an editing session that focused on the syncing of audio.
