Role

I have decided to have the role of Producer for our Final Year Film Projects. I decided to produce other people’s films rather than write/ direct my one film because I feel that with the documentary ideas I had, it might be too difficult to get people to talk onscreen about the topics.

Whilst I knew what I wanted my film to say, I didn’t have much idea of how it would look visually.

I think my skills lie more in the production side of film making. I am organised, responsible, and to a certain extent enjoy all the paperwork and planning that comes with bringing a project together. I am producing for both a fiction film and a documentary film so it will be interesting to work in both disciplines. I will look in more detail at the specific things a producer must do, and also the individual needs of each of the films I am producing, at a slightly later stage.
