In this session we went over a few important points to consider when we take on the role of The Producer as well as understanding their involvement when it comes to not only the post production stage, but on set during the production process.
After reading a short script [War Game by Laurence Gough] We went through the sectors that the producer had to think about before production could start, here are a few of the points we talked about in those sectors
Health and Safety:
Looking after the cast and crew, especially if there were kids involved in the shoot. Thinking about tutors if they were applicable as well as not going over any work hour regulatory laws.
Casting:
Where we would find the actors (Casting agencies, university drama department) consider what our available days for shooting were before we choose the cast, therefore there would be no need to work round their schedule when we were to start. If we would be paying them or not, as the Producer sorts out finance.
Location:
How would we get both the cast and the crew out there, if it local, does the set look right in terms of the script or is that something we would have to look into changing. The key example would be that in the script half of it take place in the Jungle, obviously we couldn't go to the Amazon, so instead the alternative would be to use a local forest. We considered using a jungle soundscape help make the audience make the connection or alternatively just adjusting the script so the scene we were looking to film just took part in a forest.
