In the article, written by Stephan Kelly, we learn that post production is the act of editing shots and clips after they've all been put together to create an episode/film. Post production is normally used to edit or adjust colours on a programme in order to make it bolder, brighter and more visually appealing to the viewers of said programme. An example of where post-production is used is in the programme 'Utopia'. The creators of Utopia aimed to give the show a 'comic book look' and to make it look quite vintage, In order to achieve this goal two comic book artists, Marc Munden ( also the director of 'Utopia') and colourist Aidan Farrell, spent time precisely colour correcting each shot/clip in post-production using a grading software called Nucoda Film Master instead of a brush or pen. They did this to make skies look bluer and more vibrant and to make the grass appear greener and lush. Vibrant colours are used in post-production to create a more non literal feel to the show, perhaps this is to remind the audience that the storyline of 'Utopia' is based on a comic book and whatever happens within the show shouldn't be taken so seriously.
Here is an example of a shot in 'Utopia' that has been edited in post-production.
