Post-production

Post-production includes all stages of production occurring after principal photography or recording individual program segments.

This flexibility facilitates carefully shaping the film in a thoughtful, meaningful way for emotional effect.

Furthermore, through the use of color grading tools and the addition of music and sound, the atmosphere of the movie can be heavily influenced.

Types of work usually done: Techniques used in music post-production include comping (short for compositing, or compiling the best portions of multiple takes into a single composite take),[4][5] timing and pitch correction (perhaps through beat quantization), and adding effects.

This process is typically referred to as mixing and can also involve equalization and adjusting the levels of each individual track to provide an optimal sound experience.
