Executive Producer – The Enabler

They’re in the deal from the very beginning either working for a production company or studio, or tasked with finding a suitable company to develop a production. While in many cases these executive TV or film producers are key people to know at the pre-production stage, it is also important to note that this title can often be bestowed upon those who have no direct decision-making status but instead will be instrumental in making the production a success – a head writer or a star or even the CEO of the production company.

Producer – The Doer

If you think of the traditional image of film producers or TV producers then the odds are this is the person you’re thinking of. They are involved in a whole range of tasks from raising finance to helping to find the crew for a production. The producer often does a large part of the work at the development and pre-production stage to ensure the smooth running of a shoot.

Line Producer - The Boss

In the world of TV and film producers the Line Producer is the top of the pile, the head honcho, the big boss. They manage the budget and all finance related issues as well as overseeing the day-to-day running and problem solving of any production. They also make many of the important purchasing decisions that could be crucial to the success of your business.
