Continuing vocational training in parallel to a career: post-production supervisor
in cooperation with Amsterdam Post Lab (APostLab)
certified by IHK BIZ Halle-Dessau
27th & 28th October 2023 – Online
In order to meet the demand for specialists in post-production, the International Academy of Media and Arts e.V. (IAMA), together with the Amsterdam Post Lab and the Postpro Network Halle, is offering the training to become a post-production supervisor for the third time. The further training program is oriented to the increased challenges of the market (digitization, requirements of streaming services, workflows, budgeting, etc. and new formats and filming options) and empowers the participants to take on the next film and series production. Experts from the German and international film industry ensure a well-founded training and practice-oriented exchange.
TARGETS
Continuing education is designed to inform from the individual’s specialization to current standards and requirements in the workflow of the entire post-production process. The process of post-production is placed in the context of the particular narrative (story). The continuing education will enable participants to conceptualize and execute upcoming projects from the perspective of the postproduction supervisor. Therefore, participants are encouraged to bring their own project that is in preparation and comes from the fields of fiction, documentary, animation or virtual production. The IAMA also provides participants without their own project with an accompanying example project on which the contents of the training are processed and explained.
TARGET GROUP
The in-service training Postproduction Supervisor – for entry into postproduction, provides basic knowledge and facts in the areas of image and sound formats, camera work, visual effects, color grading, sound post, sound design & music, workflow and budgeting. It is also aimed at producers, production managers, production assistants, editors, production managers, directors and other related professionals.
PROGRAM
The workshop days will take place in individual modules, in which each component of the post-production is extensively discussed and reflected upon, and clearly explained and illustrated by example projects (cases studies). Individual modules are repeated and the participants are given tasks to help consolidate the learned material in a practice-oriented manner. Both individual and group work sessions are initiated, which allows participants to discuss and apply what they have learned in small groups. Group leaders support the participants in this through coaching.
