Utopia ; Post production

An article I have found which explains how utopia got its comic book look in the post-production stage was on wired.com. The article basically explains why the strange editing techniques are used such as the bold colours, Warm glow, all these are used to get the effect of a comic book but also give the effect of a vintage feel to the different clips.

What is post production?    
Post production is the very last stage in the long journey of making a film , it includes the overall editing of the clips and sound. It is also mainly used to fix the minor problems within the original footage. Although if the footage is extremely bad or doesn't include an adequate level of continuity it will be a severe problem and may have to be started again.

Preliminary Task

We have been set a preliminary task. The instructions we have been given say we have to create a small continuity piece themed as the opening to a horror film. We must include basics such as ; the character opening a door, walking across a room then finally sitting down opposite a different character and exchanging conversation. There are a few different camera shots I must incorporate into this task. These are ; match on action, the 180degree rule and a shot reverse shot. I will be creating this preliminary task with help from Joe Patton and Sam Bowden.
