Hobbies There are many books on movie-making which cover all phases of production from the script through the final editing. More advanced books are devoted to special subjects: writing the scenario, photography and special effects, building and decorating sets, directing, cutting and editing, sound recording and sound mixing, and optical effects.

It is well for the advanced amateur to know the various intermediate stages of production, if only so that he will understand what can be incorporated into his completed film. There are some processes of production that he will not be able to attempt.

Simple sound recording, for example, can be done during shooting, or later by the use of a sound projector, which is also a recorder, and a magnetic tape on his film. He is not likely, however, to be able to afford the equipment for sound mixing. Sound mixing is the process of combining two or more simple sound tracks, such as voice and background noises or voice and music. However, this can be done for you at any sound recording studio.

Costly equipment and a highly skilled technician are needed to produce optical effects: fade-ins, fade-outs, lap-dissolves, and so on. Any motion picture laboratory is also equipped and staffed to handle this kind of work.
