CLEVE, Bastian (2000). Film Production Management. 3rd ed., Woburn, Focal Press.
As well as being the producer on Pressure, it came to my attention that I need to manage the production. Being the production manager, you will need to know about everything which is going on in the production.
This book tells you what the production manager does and how to work efficiently to make sure that the production runs smoothly. In chapter two (Development) details how the real entertainment business works and how the producer and production management need to work hand in hand. In pre-production will legal paperwork will need to be in place before the production starts and without it you can run into trouble.
The chapter also gives you a diagram of who has a higher position and how the jobs differ. In the book it shows you how the producer is on top and how the production manager is working for the producer.
This book has given me an insight on how the film/tv works and who is in charge of who. The entire book will help me to develop my knowledge in the legal side of film production and maybe map out my career in the industry.

In Chapter five 'Telling the dramatic story' describes what the term 'protagonist' means when it comes to storytelling. It came from the greek words for "first" (protos) and the "struggler" or "combatant". The word struggler stuck with me as this is the bases of the short film we are making. The book in a way explains that the main protagonist needs to struggle for the film to have a plot and this will help with the devices when it comes to narrative progression.
The chapter mentions that the "antagonist" can be anything (a character, an object, an act of nature or an aspect of the protagonist's own character) which they need to become for the story to be complete.
The book also has some examples of how a script is made and laid out professionally.
The book is a great guide for me to help create a powerful piece of work and it feels like a step to step guide for what to do and what to think about it when it comes to shooting, scripting and editing.
