End of production paperwork for production management

As part of the Mind Your Business strand, we're offering training in a range of areas related to business management & development, production finance, legal & business affairs, rights, and compliance, giving individuals the tools needed to thrive in their chosen field in unscripted TV. 

What end of production paperwork do the broadcasters require and why do we need to complete it? A huge part of working in production is having to complete post production paperwork.  However, there may be a dedicated person who is overseeing this paperwork, so you may not always get the opportunity to learn how to complete all the required elements.

This course will give you an overview of what paperwork needs to be completed and what information you should include, plus an overview of inputting the paperwork into Silvermouse. It will include practical examples and exercises as well as guidance and the chance to ask questions throughout. 

This session is supported by the ScreenSkills Unscripted TV Skills Fund which invests in training for the unscripted workforce thanks to contributions from broadcasters, SVoDs and production companies.

Who it's for

This course is aimed at production assistants, production secretaries, production management assistants, production coordinators and junior production managers who would like to learn how to complete post production paperwork for unscripted TV productions.

This course covers the end of production paperwork required as part of the contractual broadcaster requirements. It doesn't cover the paperwork that would be completed in a post-production house (e.g.,  AQCs, metadata forms etc) so is not relevant for those working for a post-production house.

We generally require applicants to have at least 3 credits (unless working in a traditionally uncredited role). If you strongly feel you would still benefit from the training, please email USF@screenskills.com

We are committed to ensuring all our courses are accessible to everyone. Please email the above address with any access requirements so that we can make the arrangements you need.
