Description:

The television and film production management team is vital to the success of the project. This type of management requires skilled individuals to help ensure all the moving pieces are in the right place at the right time and the production gets made on budget and on schedule. The script is your guide as you plan pre-production tasks such as developing schedules and budget. The production team keeps everyone connected and serves as the liaison between local authorities, director, and crew. During filming, the production unit generally splits its time between the production office and the set. They ensure all permits are in place for each respective location, that all safety ordinances are being followed, and that transportation, accommodations, and suppliers are in place. They make sure that everything comes together, and they know who to call if it doesn?t.



If you are fascinated by the workings of live production, have exceptional organizational, communication and planning skills, and have a desire for new challenges every day, this program is your training ground. You?ll be introduced to the process of coordinating a film or television series, and use resources innovatively to develop budgets, shooting schedules, locations criteria, and the day-to-day business of a production. You?ll work collaboratively with all departments and have opportunities to explore each role within a production unit team.
