Diploma In Post Production

A screen presentation is constituted by continuously changing series of images supported by sound for narrating a story or conveying a message, in a coherent manner. The prime purpose of a screen presentation is to capture and hold audience attention.

The foundation of the art of screen presentation is editing. Film or video editing is much more than joining together of images and sound recorded on photographic film or magnetic / optical medium. It is the job of the editor to weave the recorded material which is jumble of odd shots, bits of sound and computer generated graphics into a meaningful and interesting screen presentation.
