WHAT YOUR FILM NEED TO PASS OUR QUALITY CONTROL (QC) PROCESS
Several criteria are evaluated to ensure that the film meets the required standards of quality before its release. These criteria include:
1. Technical Specifications: The movie must adhere to specific technical requirements, including resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate, and audio
formats. These specifications guarantee compatibility across various devices and platforms.
2. Visual and Audio Issues: It is crucial to watch out for and avoid issues such as pixelation, artifacts, color grading inconsistencies,
synchronization problems between audio and video, poor video/audio transitions, duplicate frames, audio freezes, and overall lack of clarity.
3. Editing: The overall editing of the movie is carefully assessed during the QC process to ensure a cohesive and seamless viewing experience.
4. Acting Performance: Assessing the acting performance of actors during quality control (QC) for films is important for several reasons: Audience
Engagement, Artistic Integrity, Quality Standards, Marketability and Success, Consistency and Continuity.
5. Feature Known Celebrities: To generate audience interest, it is highly recommended to include at least two or more well-known figures in the
movie, as this tends to captivate viewers.
6. Subtitles and Closed Captions: If the movie includes subtitles or closed captions, the QC process verifies that they are accurate, properly timed,
and synchronized with the dialogue or audio. It is important to avoid using burned-in subtitles, and instead, ensure that all captions are
provided in the SRT format.
7. Content Accuracy and Compliance: The movie’s content is thoroughly reviewed to confirm that it aligns with specific content guidelines and
regulatory requirements.
8. Legal and Copyright Considerations: During QC, it is essential to ensure that the movie does not infringe upon any copyrights, trademarks, or
intellectual property rights.
9. Metadata and Packaging: The movie’s metadata, which includes details such as the title, synopsis, and cast information, is carefully reviewed to
ensure accuracy and relevance.
