I am aware that as the Producer on this project, my role becomes much less active during the post production stage with regards to the edit. I have done some research regarding this area as I was unsure of what my biggest responsibilities would be and I wanted to be as active as I could.
I found out via Creative Skillset and Prospects.ac.uk that the Producer's main role during this stage is to oversee the production and is largely involved in the creative decision making process. To ensure that I was doing this, I was in the production rooms with Josh and Ellen at all times and was active with my feedback and suggestions for improvement. Although, I wasn't doing a technical role and actually pressing the buttons during the edit, I have been voicing my opinions throughout the edit process so far and offering my assistance if they had any issues with the edit.
Directly after filming however, I focussed largely on ensuring that all of the cast and contributors had their expenses paid for and enjoyed the process filming. I have since also sent the cast some of the behind the scenes photos and given them some updates on the edit. However, I have asked them to refrain posting any of the photos during Scene 12 on social media as we want the ending to be kept secret until we post the film ourselves.
So that I have a more active role and can focus on another task during the post production stage, I have taken in upon myself to advertise for a composer to create the credits track for the film. This is something that we discussed much earlier on in the project but never decided on. Josh said he's happy for me to pursue this and advertise for the role but to be careful regarding the budget as none of us have worked with a composer during our time on the course and are unsure of how much this will be. I am hoping that this will be a creative step I can pursue, as I think a unique credit track that is written for the film specially will be very beneficial to the production value.
