Meer over het boek

The Complete Film Production Handbook is a comprehensive step-by-step guide covering the essentials of the business, from checklists and sample pre-production and post-production schedules to contracts and company policies relating to insurance, talent management, and customs and immigration details. The book contains all of the necessary forms including SAG, DGA, and WGA forms, together with standard production forms, deal memos, and release forms. This book provides producers and production managers with both a quick reference and refresher and an easy means of training their production staff on the day-to-day procedures needed to keep their production running smoothly. It provides film students with an in-depth look at what must be considered and accomplished before a single camera can roll and a more comprehensive understanding of the logistics required to complete and deliver a finished picture. First-time independent filmmakers will find this a comprehensive and helpful resource guide. New chapters examine such topics as basic accounting procedures, production team members and their responsibilities, working with vendors, saving money, and foreign locations including work visas, shipping, and customs.
