Production managers apply the high-level skills and knowledge described in this unit. In the film industry, a production manager is usually the first person employed by a producer once funding has been approved for a production.
Production managers coordinate and supervise all administrative, financial, and technical details of film and television productions. They assist producers with the hiring of crews and all other pre-production activities. During production, they approve changes in scheduling and budgets and act as intermediaries between producers/management and crew, and oversee the activities of the entire crew.
Depending on the scale of production, they may be assisted by a first or second assistant director, production coordinator, unit manager or location manager.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan and manage all aspects of pre-production film or television processes and facilities.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
