What is it about?
Post-production is an important part in the production process of a film. In the early 1920s film laboratories` work process was basically non-automatic. What impact had this manual work on a film`s visual appearance? By analysing original film elements of a conventional German melodrama from 1921 and explaining how a print for cinema release was made, this paper shows how the film`s editing was influenced from post-production`s working routines.
