You shot your film. You edited your film. The music is rocking. But, you're not quite done because you still need to pay attention to a few small things that will take your film to the next level. This is the last step in your filmmaking process and it's really important.
More specifically we're going to spend this video giving you the lowdown on how to go from the rough edit to the final masterpiece.
We're talking about the stages - color correction, sound effects, foley, trimming audio, adjusting audio levels, adding lower thirds and credits. So many first time filmmakers are 95% of the way there but forget (or are too lazy to add) these last things. It really is the difference between a great film and an amateur one.
If we left anything out, let us know in the comments. And, as always, if you found this helpful your comments are highly appreciated. It helps give us the motivation to make more of these for you.
Now that we're done with our 9-part series, we want to know what you want us to make future videos about. We'll continue putting out little shorts on Tuesdays. But, what should that look like? - Comments below!
