Producer - thats me

it's true what they say - everybody on the team is as important as everybody else, but I think being a producer is a very big responsibility.


according to skillset, a producer is....

'responsible for identifying and specifying an interactive media product' highlevel requirements or purpose, and ensuring that its business objectives and creative vision are understood and maintained by everybody involved in the project'


to be honest, I have no idea why they say it like that apart from making it look 'professional' because i don't understand that.


but from what I've learnt and what I know, to my own definition I think being a producer simply means you have to be very organised -

it's all about organisation and communication


Scheduling, call sheets, organising meetings, doing all the bit of paperwork, location release and shooting permissions, making sure everybody knows what the meetings are about, coming prepared and participate, at times (and to be fair most of the time) running the meetings and keeping everybody focused and not side-tracked, and most of all making sure everybody is ON TIME...its a pretty tough role but its all worth it.


I just hope everything turns out right because if they don't I am probably the one to be blamed.
