Rebecka Blücker

My role as Head of production includes organizing schedules, budgets and people. I´m Involved at each stage of a format/production, from initial planning, estimating and scheduling, through filming or recording, and on to final budget and production reports. To do the job successfully and ensure that everything runs smoothly, I must have solid experience in all aspects of the business. While a formal qualification, such as my bachelor’s degree in tv, radio and Media-production, can be valuable, experience in the practical aspects of production, such as lighting, filming, recording and editing, are more important. Wide-ranging experience is essential for me, as I must understand practical requirements and costs so I can develop realistic schedules and budgets. Careful pre-production planning is the foundation for successful formats/programs. I review finished scripts or program ideas and draw up initial schedules and budget estimates. I assess the resources needed for the formats/programs, including actors or presenters, locations or studio facilities, props, crews and equipment. When I have finalized estimates, I obtain budget approval and arrange to book all the resources. During production, I provide the producer and director with daily schedules that detail all aspects of each day’s filming or recording. I ensure that production remains on schedule and make any changes due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness of a presenter or weather problems on outdoor shoots. I also check that production complies with copyright laws and any union agreements. In addition to my budgeting and scheduling responsibilities, I also handle several important administrative tasks. I prepare and negotiate contracts with crew members and actors. I obtain permission to use music, images or content that is subject to copyright laws. I ensure that the production team complies with health and safety regulations.
