INDEPENDENT TELEVISION PRODUCTION


Complicity 


Complicity  is a crime/drama project aimed towards the Channel 4 audiences. The project was filmed in the Birmingham area. The series will be split into 8 episodes in order for audiences to go on a dark/ crime set journey. Members of the group decided to call the drama 'Complicity' as it shows a mystery and crime meaning. The name is to lure audiences into viewing the program and be intrigued on what to expect.

 My Role

I was the production manager for the project and my role to manage the crew, production process and deal with the budgeting and scheduling. I was also part of casting the actors who all have previously worked on BBC related shows in the past. My challenge through the process was dealing with budgeting and scheduling and trying to match them together. I also was given the role to cast some actors for the project, the casting was the most challenging part as it was difficult trying to find people who match the description of the characters. I liaised with the producer and director and we all came up with a decision on who to cast. I communicated with all the actors through e-mail and made sure they had a copy of the script and a informative brief of what to expect throughout the shooting days. 



Final Project 

The final project was edited and completed in just three months. The deadline for the program drama was in January. I believe the drama was a success, and working in the team has made me become a stronger and more confident person working in a group.
