Production Lite Essentials Course

Understanding more about the procedures, administration, insurance and legal issues surrounding the production of filmed material.

This virtual is designed for those who need to understand more about the procedures, administration, insurance and legal issues surrounding the planning, production and delivery of filmed material.

Have you ever wondered why some scripts cost three times more to produce than others, or why does it take so long to produce a seemingly simple script?  Why can’t the agency do anything without insurance? What are the pros and cons of triple bidding vs single bidding or producing in-house? What is a PIBS and why do we need one? 

Who is this course for? 

This workshop is as relevant for account management, as it is for juniors in production and business affairs. Delegates will gain a broad understanding of the whole production process and we will de-mystify all those production terms and make the process simple and easy to understand.
