"Ozark" began production today on season three. Hope it is ready this fall.
Assassin, you seem very knowledgeable regarding film. What is the roll of a Producer? I know what a Director does but never understood the term Producer.
Where is the ranking in a show in determining script and scenes? Writers, Producers?
there are about a million roles for the Producer. The highest ranking producer is simply called Producer. This is the person ultimately responsible for the film. He or she is also the person who collects the Oscar if the movie wins an Academy Award. After that comes Executive Producer, who is involved in the development, financing or production of the movie, but generally not all three.
Below executive producer, the credits get a little murkier. Occasionally, you'll see Co-Executive Producer, but the third-highest ranking is generally called Co-Producer. Then comes Associate Producer. These two "junior producer" credits often go to someone who performs a key function in getting the movie made, but who doesn't have the power or clout of a producer or executive producer. For instance, I was a co-producer on Go.
Line Producer is really a job, rather than a title. This person, who is directly responsible for many of the day-to-day burdens of production (such as budgets, unions, and bureaucracy), would often have another title, such as Co-Producer or Executive Producer. Many line producer functions overlap with a Unit Production Manager. Depending on the film, you might also see a Production Supervisor or Production Coordinator listed.
btw - I copied this as I am too lazy to type it
