Based on Liz Gill’s book 'Running the Show' for First ADs, this course will enable producers and directors to work smoothly and effectively on and off set with key members of their team, including First ADs, HODs and cast. The course will offer participants the chance to enhance their practical production skills, as well as their time and people management skills, and will emphasise how an efficient pre-production period can enhance production itself. The course will be of particular interest to producers and directors who are progressing to managing bigger-budget projects with larger crews, or documentary producers and directors moving into drama.

The course will cover the following:

• Getting the most from your First AD
• Getting the most from your crew
• Pre-production
• Scheduling
• Tech recces, production meetings and tests
• Effective communication
• Running a productive and efficient shoot
