produktionsteamet

Produktionsteamet, or the production team, is the group responsible for planning, coordinating and delivering a production from concept to final output. It is used across media and events, including film, television, theatre, music videos and corporate productions, and it integrates creative direction with logistical management.

Core roles typically include producers (responsible for overall vision, financing and contracts) and executive producers (high-level oversight and funding), as well as line or unit production managers who handle day-to-day budgeting and operations. Supporting roles include production coordinators, location managers, casting directors, art directors and production designers, set decorators, prop masters and costume supervisors. On set, the director of photography, camera crew, sound mixer and boom operator, along with grip and lighting staff, form the technical backbone. The script supervisor tracks continuity, while post-production is steered by editors and a post-production supervisor, often with a VFX supervisor and a music supervisor.

The production process typically follows three phases: pre-production, production and post-production. Pre-production covers budgeting, scheduling, casting, location scouting, permits, insurance and risk assessment. Production manages logistics, call sheets, on-set safety, transportation and catering. Post-production handles editing, color grading, sound design, visual effects and final delivery to distributors or broadcasters. The exact composition of a production team varies with genre, budget and scale; for example, theatre often substitutes a stage manager for a line producer, and live events require an events-focused production director.

In Danish usage, produksjonsteamet is commonly described as the core group coordinating all departments to meet creative and commercial objectives, ensuring communication between writers, directors, financiers and external vendors.
