A Producer's Handbook
DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER CHALLENGES A PRODUCER’S HANDBOOK by Kathy Avrich-Johnson Edited by Daphne Park Rehdner Summer 2002 Introduction and Disclaimer This handbook addresses business issues and considerations related to certain aspects of the production process, namely development and the acquisition of rights, producer relationships and low budget production. There is no neat title that encompasses these topics but what ties them together is that they are all areas that present particular challenges to emerging producers. In the course of researching this book, the issues that came up repeatedly are those that arise at the earlier stages of the production process or at the earlier stages of the producer’s career. If not properly addressed these will be certain to bite you in the end. There is more discussion of various considerations than in Canadian Production Finance: A Producer’s Handbook due to the nature of the topics. I have sought not to replicate any of the material covered in that book. What I have sought to provide is practical guidance through some tricky territory. There are often as many different agreements and approaches to many of the topics discussed as there are producers and no two productions are the same. The content of this handbook is designed for informational purposes only. It is by no means a comprehensive statement of available options, information, resources or alternatives related to Canadian development and production. The content does not purport to provide legal or accounting advice and must not be construed as doing so. The information contained in this handbook is not intended to substitute for informed, specific professional advice. -

Filmmaking 101: Handout: Recording audio © Nils Osmar 2012, All rights reserved. Instructor: Nils Osmar Email: [email protected] For a full list of classes, visit: www.classesandworkshops.com __________________________________________________________ Movies have two components: video and audio. Movies are primarily a visual medium, but the quality of the audio is extremely important in the perceived quality of the final product. Good audio can save a bad movie. Poor audio can ruin a good one. Sound conveys emotion. Video conveys information. (If you listen to a movie with the sound off, you won’t be emotionally involved in it.) (If you're scared of horror films, try watching them with the sound off; they won't scare you at all.) __________________________________________________________ Key points to remember: • The audio track in a movie is made up of several different components mixed together. The components include: - voices - room tone - sound effects and foley - music • Some audio is recorded in the field (on location) on the day of filming. Some is recorded later on in studio. Then it's treated and mixed in studio. • If your goal is to record high quality audio, all of these components need to be of high quality: - your microphone - your microphone holder - the cable connecting it to the recording device - the camcorder or other recording device the microphone is hooked up to. • The connections between the components have to be secure. Audio is only as strong as its weakest link. (A great microphone won't sound good if its connection to the camera has a problem.) The better your movie's soundtrack, the less your audience will be consciously aware of it. -

Students were trained in stagecraft, sound, set construction, camera/editing, and post production. The project also developed a curriculum model that could be used for establishing an Associate in Science degree in film production technology, unique in the country. The project was conducted by a partnership of Universal Studios Florida and Valencia Community College. The course combined hands-on classroom instruction with participation in the production of a feature-length film. Curriculum development involved seminars with working professionals in the five subject areas, using the Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) process. This curriculum guide for the 15-week course outlines the course and provides information on film production careers. It is organized in three parts. Part 1 includes brief job summaries ofmany technical positions within the film industry. -
Production Roles
APPENDIX D Production Roles Producer: Has control over the entire production of a motion picture and is ultimately held responsible for the success or failure of the motion picture project; this person is involved with the project from start to finish. The producer’s tasks are to: • organize and guide the project into a successful motion picture; • organize the development of the film, and be quite active in the pre-production phase; and • supervise and give suggestions to be taken seriously by those creating the film. Director: The director is primarily responsible for overseeing the shooting and assembly of a film. The director’s tasks are to: • be directly responsible for the picture’s final appearance; • work at the center of film production; and • be inextricably linked with dozens of other people to get the job done. Screenwriter: The screenwriter provides more than the dialogue for the actors. The screenwirter’s tasks are to: • be responsible for organizing the sequence of events in a film to ensure that one scene leads logically to the next; • write descriptions of settings; and • suggest movements or gestures for the actors. • Production Designer/Art Director: The production designer is the first to translate the script into visual form. The production/art director’s tasks are to: • create a series of storyboards (a series of sketches to show the visual progression of the story from one scene to the next); and • determine the palette of colors to be used and often provides other important suggestions about the composition of individual shots. Cinematographer: The cinematographer is also known as the director of photography (DP). -
The WGC Showrunner Code Found Its Origin in the Largest Gathering Ever of Canada’S Top Showrunners
SThheowWrGuC nner Code • From WGC members to WGC members • Insights into the craft and business of showrunning in Canada WGC SHOWRUNNER CODE The WGC Showrunner Code found its origin in the largest gathering ever of Canada’s top showrunners. In 2009, the WGC invited more than thirty member showrunners – those working on one-hour dramas, half-hour dramas and half-hour comedies, for kids and adults, in both extended run and limited run – to share their experiences of and insights into the craft and business behind the role of the showrunner. A common thread emerged: to create a good show, a production needs the formative hand of a practiced showrunner, and that writer needs to see the process through from story- breaking in the writers’ room to fine cut in the edit suite. The showrunner’s world is fraught with challenges – not the least of which is the resistance some producers bring to even acknowledging that “showrunner” is a position that exists, let alone one that should be occupied first and foremost by a writer. Writers and agents came to the WGC seeking some assistance in establishing a standard set of terms for showrunners to negotiate. The WGC Showrunner Code establishes guidelines for individual negotiations. (Note: The WGC Showrunner Code was updated in January 2013 to reflect the showrunners’ increasing involvement in the creation of convergent digital content – see page 11.) The WGC Showrunner Code sets out the conditions under which the showrunner is best positioned to ensure he or she can realize their vision and deliver the best show possible. -

What Does a TV Producer Really Do? 3
CHAPTER What Does a TV Producer 1 Really Do? The definition of a producer: An idealist, a realist, a practical dreamer, a sophisticated gambler, and a stage-struck child. Oscar Hammerstein THIS CHAPTER’S TALKING POINTS I . The Producer’s Domain II . Defining a TV and New Media Producer III . The Many Roles of a Producer IV . Producers’ Titles and Job Descriptions V . The Need for People Skills I. THE PRODUCER’S DOMAIN Television has affected—and reflected—the culture of global communications for over a half-century. And now, the explosion of new media shows every sign of having a simi- lar impact, as it bursts onto the scene with innovative possibilities and real challenges. Even the very word itself, “television,” takes on new meaning. As we enter this extraor- dinary era of media transition, traditional television programming, viewing habits, adver- tising models, and delivery systems must inevitably change with the times. TV and its new media offshoots must be fed, and it’s the producer who feeds them. The producer is central to every aspect of a project—from the wisp of an idea to a tangible piece of work. In theory, a producer has unlimited potential to educate and entertain. But the trade-off is intensive hours, stressful demands, and myriad responsibilities. The demands of viewers and the appetites of commerce require a continuing stream of unique programming, or content , for television and new media to survive. This content can range from sitcoms on NBC and TV movies on Lifetime, to internal corporate train- ing videos for IBM, or segments for CNN cable news; from one-minute “webisodes” for mobile phones, or an intricate video game, to 24/7 content for online channels—regard- less of the delivery system, each of these content formats has a producer in charge.
