Producer Notes

Here are just some brief notes from my last Production Management class -

• Actor's agents are not that interested in student films so you really have to sell the idea/project. Make them want to be a part of it. 
• Name drop charities, themes, names when talking to actor's agents to try and stimulate more interest. 

The producers role in the vignette project -

• Make sure all members of the crew have the paper work needed. 
• With the art director work on a props list.
• With the DOP get a shots list & equipment list.
• With a sound recordist get a list of equipment. 
• Enable the art department to get all the props & costumes before shooting. 
• I need all phone numbers.
• Make sure the actor has a script and call sheet well in advance.
