The first intensive of trimester 4 was somewhat enjoyable as post-production isn't my most favoured aspect of audio. It was very informative as the workflow is
very different to recording and producing a song. There are certain skills that are required in order to make post-production believable and usable, and it
needs a level of creativity that helps you think outside the box. In some cases there can be a lot of work, having to do location recording, sampling, creating
reverbs and recreating sets. If an opportunity that was related to post that i was really interested in came up i would most likely take it but pursuing an
avenue in post wouldn't be my first choice. So for this intensive we had to reproduce all the sound for a student film, "The Lovers", a post-apocalyptic film.
this required, spot fx, foley, a soundtrack, and some location recording. Recording foley and sound fx was definitely the best part of the intensive as it allowed
for creativity and critical thinking for how to get the desired result. As a group I think we did well, but communication and more interest from myself and the
others would've created a better and more fluent result. Looking back, spending more time on a plan and critical analysis on what the film needed was not as high
up on our list as it should've been. I think this would have helped us streamline our practices and produce better quality edits, recordings and given our group
an easier understanding of what needed to be done to achieve our desired results. our soundtrack most definitely needed more attention as it was left to the last
minute and completed by one of our members. Overall for it being one of my first attempts at taking on post-production, I think I could comfortably work in this
environment as a team or individual. Compared to professional films, our post-production, needs some work, but with time and experience will come better products.
