In my group i was chosen to be production manager.
As production manager the role primarily involves having to negotiate things such as cast, budget and location and being the link between the producer, director and also the clientel. I primarily responsible for everything that takes place on the shoot, which includes, locations then booking of the chosen locations, cast, crew and organising the transport, equipment and catering.
The suggested locations for our video have been a pub (coach makers arms), a studio for a performance element and romantic scenes by a river. Our video is all about a broken relationship and we are showing this by having the lead role as a guy who has spilt from his girlfriend. We cant give names for our cast as we havnt yet finalised who we are having for each role.
I now need to discuss the budget with the director and producer after the meeting we had and discuss the first shoot day. We are currently under budget therefore nothing should be too much of a problem.

As the production manager you are mainly responsible for everything that takes place on the shoot. This includes recce of locations and then booking locations, cast, crew and organising the transport, equipment and catering. The producer has the responsibility of liaising with the client over budget. What are your budget responsiblities between 2nd client meeting and first shoot day?
