Post-Production Workflow Model

Purpose
The Post-Production Workflow Model is designed to assist/inform you of the editing process, necessary after recording a video footage. Post-
Production is an essential part of the Video Production process and should not be skipped. This model will provide you with information
relating to Best Practice, once your project reaches the post-production portion of Video Production. We also include helpful, studio-proven
tips to maximise your video’s potential.

Instructions
On the next slide, follow the coloured arrows exactly in the order they are presented (from left to right). Below each arrow, in the coloured
boxes, are actions that must be taken before you can move to the next arrow. The process of Post-Production is linear and the steps shown
on the next slide can be completed in the same way for any videos you produce.
