#Director vs. poducer series
Now, in TV series business creator of a certain show is almost always in position of executive producer as well. Steven Spielberg is commonly credited as one of producers even though he isn't really involved with production - that is how lower budget films with good storylines get better commercial value. Also, every person who helps the production in any way can and should be credited as a producer. The main producer is usualy the one who owns the company that produces certain film (and in cases like on "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and "The Lone Ranger", if two production companies colaborate (Jerry Bruckheimer Productions and Disney) producer from one company is always involved in the project as the owner of the big part of movie, with executives from his own company and executives from company he colaborates with). The producer is the one who controls production (but doesn't have to be involved in making the creative decissions), executive producers aren't involved with artistinc part at all, their jobs are to ensure the budget (also try to agree with director where to cut the budget), plan the production schedule, etc and there are other producers who work in different demartments (music producer (the person who produces the music composed by composer), visual effects producer, et cetera). There is some sort of triangle that we developed for easier understanding of there terms: "producer", "executive producer", "producers". The term "producer" isn't always used the same and meaning of his position can be different from film to film.
His job from the beginning is to hire director with the same vision of the film and finance production. Producer is the person who owns the film. Producer is equaly important in production. Director is the person who actually makes a film the way it looks. Editors cut scenes, visual effects department add all the effects to scenes and tint the picture, composer makes music and music producer produces it (obviously), sound editing department edits all the dialogs and has to sync them to the scenes (if sound was recorded separately as it is usual case), also they have to design sound effects for every action in a scene (steps, ambiances, object moves, et cetera). Making the final look of the film from the material made in the second stage takes weeks. After all the scenes are shot comes the final production stage that is post-production. But mostly director wants to shoot a duel so the two characters fighting would behave the way director imagined). The first unit shoots all the dialogs and scenes important to the plot of the story, while the second unit shoots "less important" (they are also important for the film, but not as much for storyline) scenes: landscapes, time-lapses, characters walking to the certain destination, battles (and sometimes second unit gets to shoot even a duel, if the first unit is busy shooting other scenes. Crew separates in the first and second unit (there were some cases with big blockbusters where the third unit was formed to keep up to the schedule). After the first phase is completed cast and crew enter the second stage that is production (or shooting scenes). Also, in pre-production schedules of shooting must be made. Cast being all the actors and crew all the people behind the scenes. It pre-production producer(s) and executive producers hire the director (if he isn't involved with the preparation of the script) and together they hire other important people (we will make another post about jobs on the set and post-production) that are called cast and crew. After a production company buys rights for a certain scenario, or hires the writer to write it, starts the first phase of production called simply pre-production. Before we start with jobs in production we should first explain basic stages of production.
