Production

Film production is divided into:

• Development:This is where it all starts. Development is the spark. A producer or screenwriter has an idea and they start to make that idea into a movie.Development is usually overseen by a producer, as they are responsible for putting the initial pieces together – the creative, financing, overall timeline, etc.
• Pre-production:Pre-production refers to all the preparation necessary before filming begins. In other words, it's everything that happens between financing and production. Three main things must happen during this phase:
• Budgeting: The producer creates a detailed shooting schedule, which will foresee the location, cast, crew, and equipment costs (among other things).
• Getting the team together: A film is often made by hundreds of people. For the crew, the producer will usually hire department heads - professionals such as cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, etc., with the director's input. 
• Pre-visualization: The director, and often their director of photography, will start planning how they want the film to look, which means making storyboards or writing out shot lists. 
• Post-production：Most people associate post-production with film editing, and while this is a critical part of the process, there are many other elements that come into play on stage.
• Picture Editing: Picture editing is when the footage is cut together to create a coherent film editor will go through three general edits, working with the director.
• The first stage is editing, which is mostly about the editor and director reviewing the footage, choosing shots, and putting them in sequence, with little regard for pacing. The second is the rough cut, where pacing is more important. And finally the fine cut, where decisions are more complex and the edit is close to picture lock.
• Sound Editing: Sound Mixing and Sound Editing, which is essentially putting all the sound effects, dialogue, voiceovers, etc. in their proper places.
• Additional Visual Effects: Many shots have a lot of additional processing, including various types of visual effects such as compositing. There is computer-generated imagery (or CGI), which can involve anything from removing a poorly placed no parking sign to creating a brachiosaur.
• Distribution：Like most of these phases, distribution is a huge umbrella term that encompasses dozens of different tasks and steps. Marketing In order to get people to see your movie, you need to tell them it exists. Movie marketing is a complex beast, and it can look very different depending on the movie's budget and projected box office.

3.Task

Week4

We were asked to record a piece of text, and later the teacher would teach us how to dub the voice in class.

fig1.1 Short film recording and dubbing

We were asked to record a silent sequence for this movie，We need to analyze what sounds will appear in this video and look for specific sound effects on the website. We need to accurately fix the sounds on the audio track, corresponding to our own dubbing, and ensure that they are synchronized with the video without errors.

Find the pitch in the effect, and then edit it in the effect control. Adjust the male voice through chromatic scale, cents, and splicing frequency. My reference values are chromatic scale -5, cents -5, and the splicing frequency is 100HZ, so Sounds more masculine.
