Chapter 6, the preproduction chapter, comes at an opportune time for our groups because now that we’re getting into the thick of things, it’s helpful to get a bit more of an in-depth rundown of the various jobs on the preproduction and production side of things. Ensuring that we are aware of the importance of things like art direction and proper budgeting is essential as we embark on our shoots.
On a more personal note, as a project director I’ve learned after reading this chapter the importance of line producers. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I wasn’t ever aware that a producer did anything besides finance the project, but now I see the importance of having someone to organize everything for you to take some heat off of the director. A director can’t plausibly keep all of the craziness of a general shoot together and expect to be effective in their role, and now that I understand this, I’ll be working hard to make sure the producer on my project understands the creative vision and can help me achieve this through their organizational talents.
