Solution and Execution
KD Hall Communications enlisted JSB Video to handle the post-production work for “Resilience in Foster Care.” Our role was crucial in bringing the raw footage to life, ensuring that the final product was both emotionally compelling and professionally produced. The post-production process involved editing to craft a cohesive narrative from hours of footage, focusing on the personal stories of the five foster care alumni.
To bring the story together, additional filming was conducted, including on-camera script reads. These script reads were used as bookends for the documentary as well as narrations throughout, providing context and continuity to the narratives shared by the alumni. Sound design was enhanced to ensure clear and impactful storytelling, including the voices of the alumni and any accompanying music or sound effects. Color grading was adjusted to create a consistent and visually appealing look throughout the documentary. Graphics and titles were added to provide context and highlight important information.
Throughout the post-production phase, JSB Video maintained close communication with KD Hall Communications and Treehouse, incorporating feedback and making adjustments to ensure the documentary met all of Treehouse’s standards and expectations.
