Types of Movie Producers






If you watch all the credits roll at the end of a movie, you know that a lot of different people take part in producing and distributing the movie. If you read closely, you may notice that the credits name movie producers of several different types.

Movie production is such a complicated process that usually one producer, known as the executive producer, needs help from others who take on part of the producer responsibilities. We’ve already discussed the role of the main producer. Here’s more about the specific jobs of producers, taken from the Producers Guild of America.

Executive Producer supervises one or more producers as they perform their duties for one or more films. The executive producer may represent the film studio and keep watch over the producer to make sure the movie is within budget. Or the title may be given as a symbolic gesture or to give a movie visibility. George Clooney, for example, is listed as executive producer for “Far from Heaven” (2002) to generate publicity, but didn’t spend any time on the set, according to the film’s producer Christine Vachon.

Associate Producer handles certain aspects of production. Usually the associate producer works through all three stages of the production, from preproduction to post-production. Sometimes the associate producer title is given to a key backer of the film who does not have a major role in producing the film.

Assistant Producer works on tasks assigned by the associate producer.

Co-Producer shares producer responsibilities as a team or group with other producers. One producer may take on creative responsibilities while another fulfils business functions. Or one of the producers may be a major investor who is not directly involved in the movie production. Or a co-producer may bring the script or the film’s star to the production.

Supervising Producer oversees one or more producers as they perform some or all of their duties. The supervising producer may take the place of an executive producer or work for the executive producer.

Coordinating Producer coordinates the work of several producers to create a final product. Coordinating producers are valuable when a studio produces several related films, as with “Spiderman”, or particularly when two related films are being produced at the same time, as with the two sequels to “The Pirates of the Caribbean”.

Line Producer handles the physical aspects of a movie’s production and usually doesn’t take part in creative decision-making. This is the person who oversees the budget and day-to-day activities during filming. He makes sure the movie stays on budget and handles any crises that may occur.

To become a movie producer, you’ll probably move up through some of these jobs. But expect stiff competition because jobs are limited at the major studios.
