4. The PM will need to complete a daily production report, which shows how the day's shooting went and reports any deviations from the master shooting schedule.
Desired skills sets:
1. Organization. The ability to plan, organize, and administer a complex production with multiple people. A huge part of being a production manager is organizing and scheduling all the moving parts that make up a film set.
2. Excellent budgeting and accounting skills. Keeping track of a film's budget is one of the most important jobs a production manager has.
3. Excellent communication skills. The production manager must communicate and work with producers, the director, studio executives, crew heads as well as local government and authorities.

5. Contacts. Having a working relationship with equipment suppliers and personnel recruiters can help a production manager enormously as they move from job-to-job. When starting a new production, being able to call on the services of people whose abilities you trust will go along way in helping you in your pre-production planning.
6. Knowledge of laws and regulations. Production managers should be well versed in health and safety regulations, insurance, basic human resources issues, contracts, and labor law.
*A film school degree is a PLUS.
*Work experience is a MUST. The PM should have some experience - generally speaking, from starting out in lower level jobs such as: runners, production assistants, location managers, production coordinators, accountants, production secretaries, assistant production managers, or occasionally assistant directors.
