Month by month, the CFAA will guide attendees in learning the step-by-step process of making a short film. Every month will bring us closer and closer to the actual production of this, and the script has been selected, so come and find out more on every 3rd Tuesday! The best talent in the production industry will be here to inform and aid the CFAA team to help YOU to make a movie!!

CALL TIME: 7pm-9pm

TOPIC: Picture Lock & Edit / Final Spotting Session

Join us for the next installment of our Step-by-Step Filmmaking Series !

Having already selected our script and scouted locations, we are now moving into the critical pre-production phase: translating the vision into a technical plan and building the team to execute it. This month, we dive deep into:

Picture Lock & Edit and Final Spotting Session.

Core Topics

• Picture Lock: This is the phase where the visual edit of the film is finalized. No further cuts or timing changes are made to the footage, allowing the technical teams (sound, color, VFX) to begin their work on a stable timeline.

• The Edit: Insight into the technical and creative choices made during the assembly of the film to ensure the narrative flow aligns with the director's vision.

• Final Spotting Session: A collaborative review where the director and editor meet with the composer and sound designer. They "spot" (identify) exactly where music should start/stop and where specific sound effects are needed.
