The Advanced Producing: Independent Feature Film From Development to Production course will give students a greater understanding of the creative and practical aspects of producing a feature film. We will cover identifying and developing material, script breakdown, production scheduling and budgeting. The course will also cover – hiring and working with cast and crew, choosing location/equipment and insurance. We will discuss problem-solving strategies and how to deal with divergent personalities on set. This is not an introduction to production course. While some of you may not want to be line producers, understanding the basic principles of line producing will give you the practical skills needed for production planning. Students are highly recommended but not required to have Movie Magic Budgeting and Scheduling.
