ABSTRACT

DIRECTOR Time The laboratory plays an important role throughout the filmmaking process.With digital video or high definition (HD), the laboratory is less involved; instead, the work is finished and fine-tuned in an online editing suite or on a nonlinear editing system, unless your plan is to make a film print. Strive to maintain a good relationship with the lab from the outset. The success of your film depends in part on the lab work. The lab is responsible for taking care of the negative and creating a final product that represents the best your film can be.
