Production Management 2

This course is a continuation of the Production Management 1 course, and requires a more in-depth study of producing, financing and development in the Canadian context. The emphasis of the course is twofold. Students will apply production management techniques learned in Production Management 1 to the production of short documentary projects competed in groups, and create their own development package for the thesis Production Project course in the fourth year of the program. The course also relates to a number of the projects in other third-year courses in the semester. From cases, students are exposed to the financial challenges that can arise in a project and the strategies for overcoming such challenges. Project management and interpersonal skills applications continue throughout the course. Guest speakers bring real-life experience to the classroom.
