Film/Video Pre-Production Planning

The goal of the module is to gain an understanding
of the production process from a
Producer, Line Producer, Production Manager and
Assistant Director's point of view
with an emphasis on pre- production planning and
production. Through lectures, guest
lecturers and selected readings, students will
learn about set safety, set procedures,
SAG, permits, insurance, working with animals and
children, location management,
production paperwork, the roles of crew members on
the set and other production
related information. The last month will be spent
on how to breakdown, schedule and
budget a script. Also, we will look at some
distribution models and what genre of
independent films work and why.
