What to expect in the post - production stage

Over time elements change. This is especially relevant between the initial and final stages of producing a documentary or any types of media for that matter. In particular, the script and storyboards are simply a guideline of what aspects such as, footage, narration / dialogue / VO etc. In my case, the storyboard and script aren’t a true representation of what the documentary will look like in its outcome. This is due to amendments throughout the process, for the greater good or even for the worse. In this case, it is for the greater good as the script and storyboards are too long and some parts are frankly irrelevant – due to factors being covered in various interviews – we close to entering the editing stage of the process and these variables are already coming to light.

To be more specific a small body of the middle narration may not be included but will still be implemented as planned in order to establish and true understanding of what is needed to be done. However, don’t be surprised if certain elements are dropped for greater good of our documentary in order for the narrative structure to run smoothly. These decisions will have to be executed in the post – production stage but for the time being, everything is going ahead as planned.
