A Day in the Life

Production Manager

Time	Activity
09:30	Fix up meetings with graphic design companies and the producer to discuss the new programme titles.
10:00	Meet producer who's had an idea for an extra filming project. Call the post production company to try and fit in the extra editing and dubbing we will require. Also I'm concerned about the cost implications. Have to negotiate as we have spent most of the budget.
11:00	Call freelance editors etc. to find the team to cover the extra commitments.
12:00	More changes in Schedule - Call travel company to change the details of the US Shooting. Flights, hire cars, hotels and contributors all have to be moved.
14:30	Meet unit manager to discuss the implications of the new budgeting software system. Training and troubleshooting is needed. This helpful new system is proving a headache!
16:00	Chase up more editors, and the post production company re changes, and update the producer with the extra cost implications of their latest brainwave!
17:00	Email the team with all the new schedule details, and the changed staffing plans. They'll not all be happy!
