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. Editing is much more than joining together of images and piecing together the recorded sound recorded. 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. An editor has to strive to impart a visual variety to the screen presentation by skilful shot selection, arrangement and timing supported by appropriate sound. He has to recreate rather than reproduce the recorded event to achieve a cumulative effect often greater than all action in the individual scenes put together. Only a good editing can bring life to a screen presentation. Spoken words, music and effects sound support the visuals – both recorded and computer generated – in a screen presentation. Motion picture graphics may include anything from captions over pictures to the most elaborate art work. The graphics are in the form of graphs, charts, diagrams, maps and a variety of shapes and forms. This course of study has been designed to help the beginning directors learn the techniques and conventions of motion picture post production work.
