Peran Produser Dalam Mengoptimalkan Anggaran Pada Program Dokumenter "Warna-Warni Inklusi"

The role of the producer in optimizing the production budget for an expository documentary titled “Warna-Warni Inklusi”, which highlights a community of people with disabilities in the creative industry. The writer served directly as the producer and was fully responsible for all stages of production, from pre-production to production and post-production. Budget optimization was carried out through location surveys, cost comparisons between two cities (Bandung and Jakarta), detailed budgeting, formal discount requests for equipment rental, and collaboration with a non-commercial-based crew. Efficiency was achieved by relocating the production site from Bandung to Jakarta, significantly reducing accommodation, transportation, and meal costs. In addition, proposal-based rental negotiations also contributed to budget savings. These findings show that the producer's role is crucial in strategically managing resources to ensure production quality remains intact without exceeding the allocated budget.
