FTP 577 - Producing for the Non-Major


Not offered to MFA Film and Television Producing Students. This course is an overview of the roles and responsibilities of the producer in film and television. We will examine the process of producing for various entertainment companies and for various audiences. The course focuses on the producer as the “driving force” - from the conception of the project, packaging, development, pre-production, distribution, and marketing. We will also highlight the producer’s relationships with personnel above the line, below the line, and executives. In supervising a film or television show, producers wear many hats and are ultimately responsible for everyone delivering on time and on budget. Letter grade. (Offered summer session.) 3 credits
