A Reflection on Post-Production

With the film finally being finished today, we've finally concluded the final stage of filmmaking - post-production. In this part of the filmmaking process, I was not heavily involved. As the editor, Sophie was essentially entirely responsible for this part of the film.

Despite not being very hands-on in this part Sophie consulted with me a handful of times both on her progress as well as her ideas. The only thing I really did during these check-ins was just ensuring the film remained on the creative track and vision we had discussed for it.

Thankfully, Sophie did an amazing job at preserving this vision as well as creating a beautiful film. I wish I was more involved in the editing process though. Firstly, since I have no experience using Adobe Rush being with Sophie or even just observing her edit would help me down the line when it's time for me to create my film. Simply put, it would've been very practical. Secondly, I feel as though I could've done more to help her in this part of the film.

Overall, I am very pleased with the final product of our film and look forward to getting others' reactions to it. I just wish I was a bit more involved in the end, beyond just giving a thumbs up at Sophie's editing.
