Creation in documentary filmmaking is a continuous and open process in each of its phases. The final cut of the film closes with the rewriting that takes place in the editing, so its importance is decisive. As in other itineraries, there are different practices and methodologies, depending both on the type of film and the filmmakers who carry them out. Likewise, editing is complemented by image and sound post-production processes -color, graphics, VFX, sound ambience, music, mixing-, which must add coherent expressive layers to the film, intensifying the aesthetic-artistic proposal.

When it comes to filming, each reality can be approached from a different strategy. And each film can approach reality in a more or less literal way. The filmmaker’s preparation for the shooting, including planning, staging or possible interviews, may be exhaustive or flexible, calculated or leaving an almost unavoidable margin for improvisation. Thinking about filming from the director’s point of view is not simply an individual exercise, but always involves a continuous conversation with the team, which will turn the film into a collective exercise.
