Production: Producer's Role During Post-Production Research
As I am the Producer for Young & Famous and I am not editing the project, I understand that the Producer takes a step back from the post-production phase. I have researched into what the Producer's role is throughout this stage as I was unsure if what I was doing was enough.
According to the Creative Skill set; a Producer's role throughout Post - Production is to keep in regular contact with the Director and editor, but to let them harness the footage and create the film. As the Producer, this is their time to deal with all the finances of the film such as paying actors, marketing and liaising with the distribution companies to sell or exhibit the film and confirming edit or sound changes.
As we are not going to be distributing Young & Famous to big companies to sell, I focused on paying all of the actors their expenses and regularly coming into the edit suit for review meetings with Simon and Andrea. I biased closely with the Director and the Editor on any major sound or edit changes, thinking creatively about how to overcome any issues or struggles within the edit.
Overall, as the Producer I felt a little useless and less involved in the edit process however I understand that a lot of my role's main responsibilities was in the Pre - Production and Production stage. I did my best to make myself as available as possible to the edit team, lending a hand wherever I could and collaborated with them efficiently.
