"Film producers fill a variety of roles depending upon the type of producer. Either employed by a production company or independent, producers plan and coordinate various aspects of film production, such as selecting script, coordinating writing, directing and editing, and arranging financing."
Put simply then, a producer runs and organises the whole production, they are in charge of hiring, booking, scheduling, paperwork. Essentially the work of a producer can be boiled down to, all of the work that isn't creative and is vital for the creation of the film.
- Well firstly and possibly the most key thing a producer needs to be is organised, if the producer isn't organised then how can the rest of the crew be. This is something I am going to have to work on as, with me working on two projects, it will be harder to stay on top of both of these jobs.
- A producer must also be a good leader, from working on other things as a director (another leading role) I know that again perhaps this needs working on, however, I do think that I have some leadership qualities that I can bring to this. It is important for a producer to be a good leader as they are essentially the boss of the film.
- Problem solving is also key, as in this role if something is going wrong then it is more often than not, up to you to fix it and quickly. This is a skill I do feel that I have and am good at, I have demonstrated this on many occasions and many films I have made.
I think that about wraps up my research on how to be a good producer and what a producer does so I will finish this post there, until next time.
