Post Production IV: ASSEMBLY

Good evening, my name is Ana Urrego, I am a current student of te Film Production Master program at Full Sail University. I am one month far away from getting my degree and I would like to share my experience throughout this month of class. Assembly class was focus on audio post production and color correction. It was directly integrated with the short film we worked on during half of the program. Professor Bill guided us during the process. He have explain us all the different tools we could rely on mixing a short film and/or any picture file. Pro Tools was the software we used which was kind of nice since it is a recording arts focused program, so we could not only learn, analyzed and actually work on the software but also project how could we create sound projects separately from just films. Working on te console was a great experience, having all the “toys” of a studio is fantastic since we all could get a clear vision of the real world experience. Team work is a key word to take into account, although it’s hard sometimes to get along different work styles and of course different personalities, it is a skill we must develop working on the film industry, and actually in all industries, if we want to succeed. Communication and respect are also strong words to describe what we have work on this month regarding personality. I want to thank professor BIl for sharing all is experience with us, and also my classmates for working hard to make this possible. Thank you so much!

Advanced Post Production II - Sound Design & Color Correction

Greetings Followers!
     This has been an intense month. I feel like I say that just about every month but it’s true. Because on top of class I had a couple of outside shoots that have increased both my film knowledge and experience. 

    This month was part 2 of our Post Production course. We mainly focused on the sound design and the color correction of our thesis film, “Sundown.” The school had four interns that worked with us throughout this month. They brought a lot to the table when it came to adding in extra sound design to our film. We also learned how to prepare our film for foreign distribution by filling out a Foreign Release Assessment. This helps us point out certain tracks of audio are added back in once the dialogue tracks are removed.     Also throughout the month the Sundown team worked with our visual effects supervisor on talking the already created newspaper clips and revamping them to a higher quality. He also worked on the coloring effects of the skies and throughout the film the color correction matches the look of the sky and you can feel the solar event drawing near. You can see the work below.

    Today was our final day in the dub stage and we had a screening of both thesis films with there finalized color correction and sound mix. We listened several versions of each film, we heard the 7.1 surround cut and the 5.1 sound cut. When listening and cutting back and forth between the two you can hear the shift of sound pull forward towards the screen. Learning how to adjust from one to another was pretty interesting. Now on to the print master. This has been an experience I’ll definitely remember and I can’t wait to begin the next post mastering session for my next film. Thanks for reading,
