Producing
Producing is a bit of a nebulous term thrown around a lot in different aspects of film, TV and/or corporate events. Here we are defining producing as:
Writing
Directing
Overseeing Production On Set
Overseeing Post Production
A Producer is a critical role for bigger, higher budget productions. Often a producer will:
Meet with clients / Zoom meetings
Help to craft scripts to cover client expectations
Oversee production / shoot dates
Give direction to the editors to ensure all is wrapped up accordingly
The truth is, planning and effectively producing a compelling video, TV show or film is a rare skillset. Making sure the writing is effective and compelling for actors or hosts, camera angles are correct, scenes are appropriately lit is a rare skillset.
Does an on camera personality address the camera, or address an interviewer?
Should it be shot 'head to tow' or as a 'head and shoulders'?
When blocking a TV show, what angle is most effective and pleasing to the viewer?
Should lighting be flattering for the on camera talent or interesting to the end consumer? (How are both scenarios achieved, cost effectively and time efficiently.)
What camera will best tell the story?
Are multiple cameras required?
These are all questions that often only a seasoned Producer will be able to address.
