Film Production Management

By Bastian Clevé

Book Overview

Film Production Management details the steps involved in bringing a screenplay to the screen: organizing, staffing, budgeting, scheduling, securing locations, shooting and postproduction. In addition to offering practical, hands-on help in dealing with each of these steps, this book also covers such issues as contracts, unions, working permits, and insurance. Sample forms used by the production manager are also included. Although it is not about film financing, it includes information on how to work within smaller budgets, enhancing its appeal to independent film makers. This book is primarily for students and film professionals seeking a career change within the film industry, or who find themselves performing some of the tasks outlined within these pages. This edition will include a number of revisions and updates, as well as new chapters on film festivals and marketing, training and schools, and use of the internet.

A Good Buy

My book was everything the seller said it would be. I got an email the next day saying it was shipped off. Fast service .. good product in excellent condition! I'll definitley buy again whenever my college course requires it.

The best book out there for developing a shooting schedule.

I took Production Management in film school and this book blows away what we used as our textbook. It will definitely steer you to getting things done in a professional manner, whether it is managing locations or developing a shooting schedule. This is the one book you need to make sure everything runs smoothly.
