Abstract
Description
The purpose of this bachelor thesis was to find out the definition and role of the producer
in the Estonian National Television and compare the outcome with the role of the
independent TV-producer in Estonia. The aim of the paper was to study the concept and
responsibilities of the in-house producer in the Estonian National Television and make
the comparison with the producers in the independent production companies.
Firstly, a general overview of the definition of a producer’s role was given. Also, the
brief overview and background information was given regarding the implementation of
the System of Producers at the Estonian National Television and the reasons for the first
independent producers emerged.
The study tasks and methodology of the study was introduced in the second part of the
thesis. The next part consisted from analysis, based on in-depth empirical interviews
conducted with producers and people with key importance to the producers system in
Estonian National Television. Also, additional in-depth interviews were used from the
bachelor thesis written by Olavi Paide in the year 2006.
As a conclusion of the survey it has to be said that the role and the definition of the
producer varied a lot. The independent producers saw themselves more like the creative
entrepreneurs while the producers working for the Estonian National Television can be
seen as creative organizers. Organizational tasks also make the in-house producer more
similar to the executive or associate producers.
Finally, the conclusions were made and suggestions were presented in regarding issues
that were not directly connected to the theme of this thesis.
