  • 3.3 Integrate the plates, layers or elements in the correct sequence, using compositing software
  • 3.4 Incorporate the grain, where required
  • 3.5 Present the test composites to the client for approval
4. Render the composited images and save files
  • 4.1 Optimise the composited images for rendering
  • 4.2 Undertake the rendering process using efficient levels of resources
