Associate Producer

• sets up schedules for the talent and crew

• generally assists the producer.

Page 3: Electronic Editing

DirectorIn a large production, the producer sets things in motion, he then hires a director who

– works out preproduction (before the production) details

– coordinates the activities of the production staff and on-camera talent

– works out camera and talent positions on the set

– selects the camera shots during production

– supervises postproduction work.– is in charge of taking the script

from the beginning to the very end of the production process.

Producer-Director• In smaller productions, the

producer may also take charge of the more mundane activities.

• And in small productions, the director may handle the producer's responsibilities.

• In this case, the combined job title becomes producer-director.

Page 5: Electronic Editing

Technical Director

• Assisting a director in the control room is a technical director who operates the video switcher.

• He is also responsible for coordinating the technical aspects of the production.

Page 6: Electronic Editing

Production Assistants• One or more

production assistants (PAs) may be hired to help the producer and director.

• Among other things, PAs keep notes on ongoing production needs and changes.

Page 7: Electronic Editing

Lighting Director

Lighting is a key element in the overall look of a production

– the lighting director (LD) designs the lighting plan

– arranges for the lighting equipment,

– sets up and checks the lighting

Page 8: Electronic Editing

Scriptwriter

• The script is like a written plan or blueprint for the production.

• The scriptwriter writes the script (the document that tells everyone what to do and say).

Page 9: Electronic Editing

Set Designer & Wardrobe PersonSome productions have a set

designer• works along with the

producer and director and designs the set

• supervises its construction, painting, and installation.

Major dramatic productions have a wardrobe person who sees that the actors have clothes appropriate to the story and script.

Page 10: Electronic Editing

Makeup PersonThe makeup person, with the help

of, cosmetics and hair spray, sees that the talent look their best -- or worst, if that's what the script calls for. The use of makeup is divided into three categories:

• Basic - designed to compensate for undesirable changes in appearance introduced by the television process.

• Corrective - designed to enhance positive attributes and downplay flaws.

• Character - which introduces major changes in appearance.

Page 11: Electronic Editing

TalentIn general, the talent includes anyone whose voice is heard or who appears on camera

•actors

•reporters

•hosts

•guests

•off-camera narrators

Page 12: Electronic Editing

TalentSometimes talent is broken

down into three sub-categories:

• actors - who portray other people in dramatic productions

• performers - who appear on camera in nondramatic roles

• announcers - who generally don't appear on camera

Page 13: Electronic Editing

Audio

The audio director or audio technician • arranges for the audio recording equipment• sets up and checks mics (microphones)• monitors audio quality during the production• strikes (disassembles and, if necessary,

removes) the audio recording equipment and accessories after the production is over.

The microphone boom/grip operator • watches rehearsals and decides on the proper

mics and their placement for each scene. • During an on-location (out-of-the-studio) shoot,

this person may need strong arms to hold the mic boom over the talent for long periods of time.

Page 14: Electronic Editing

VideoThe video recorder operator • arranges video recording equipment and

accessories• sets up video recordings• performs recording checks• monitors video quality.

In dramatic productions, the continuity secretary (CS)

• carefully makes notes on scene and continuity details as each scene is shot to ensure that these details remain consistent among takes and scenes.

• This is a very important job especially in single-camera, on-location production.

• Once production concerns are taken care of, the continuity secretary is responsible for releasing the actors after each scene or segment is shot.

Page 15: Electronic Editing

Camera Operators• Camera operators help set up the cameras and ensure

their technical quality, • they work with the director, lighting director, and audio

technician in blocking (setting up) and shooting each shot.

• On a field (out-of-the-studio, or on-location) production, they may also coordinate camera equipment pickup and delivery.

Depending on the production, there may be a floor manager or stage manager

• who's responsible for coordinating activities on the set. One or more floor assistants, or stagehands, may assist him or her.

• After shooting is completed, the editors use the video and audio recordings to blend the segments together. Technicians add music and audio effects to create the final product.

• The importance of editing to the success of a production is far greater than most people realize. As we will see, an editor can make or break a production.

Electronic Character Generator Operator

The electronic character generator operator (CG Operator) designs/types into a computer based device that inserts the text over the video

• opening titles

• subtitles

• closing credits.

Page 18: Electronic Editing

Preproduction• In preproduction the basic ideas and

approaches of the production are developed and set in motion.

• In this phase the production is set on a proper course and all the major elements are planned.

• key talent and production members selected

• In a series of production meetings interrelated aspects are carefully coordinated such as – scenic design– lighting– audio

Page 19: Electronic Editing

Rehearsals• After all the basic elements are in place,

rehearsals can start.• A simple on-location segment may involve

only a quick check of talent positions so that camera moves, audio, and lighting can be checked.

• A complex dramatic production may require many days of rehearsals. – These generally start with a table reading or dry

rehearsal where the talent along with key production personnel sit around a table and read through the script.

– Often, script changes take place at this point.– Finally, there's a dress rehearsal where the

talent dresses in the appropriate wardrobe, and all production elements are in place.

– This is the final opportunity for production personnel to solve whatever production problems remain.  

Page 20: Electronic Editing

The Production Phase• The production phase is where

everything comes together in a kind of final performance.

• Productions can be broadcast either live or recorded. – Live - news shows, sports coverage,

and some special-event broadcasts, – Recorded - Most other programmes

for later broadcast or distribution. Recording the show or program segment provides an opportunity to fix problems by either making changes during the editing phase or stopping the recording and redoing the segment.    

Page 21: Electronic Editing

Postproduction Phase– striking (taking down) sets– dismantling and packing equipment– handling final financial obligations– evaluating the effect of the program

Even though postproduction includes all of these after-the-production jobs, most people associate postproduction with editing.– originally editing was merely a concept

of joining segments in a desired order– today computer-controlled editing techniques

and postproduction special effects have become very sophisticated.

– editing is now a major focus of production creativity.

– with the latest digital effects, the editing phase can add much in the way of razzmatazz to a production.

Different types of Shots

Page 23: Electronic Editing

Establishing shot

• Opening shot or sequence, frequently an exterior 'General View'.

• Used to set the scene.

Page 24: Electronic Editing

Extreme Long Shot (ELS)

• In this type of shot the camera is at its furthest distance from the subject

• Emphasizes the background.

Page 25: Electronic Editing

Long shot (LS)

Shot which shows all or most of a fairly large subject (for example, a person) from head to toe and usually some of the surroundings.

Page 26: Electronic Editing

Medium Long Shot (MLS)

• In the case of a standing actor, the lower frame line cuts off the feet and ankles.

• This keeps the circumstances rather than the individual as the focus of attention.

Page 27: Electronic Editing

Medium shots (MS) or Mid-Shot

• In such a shot the subject or actor and its setting occupy roughly equal areas in the frame.

• In the case of the standing actor, the lower frame passes through the waist. There is space for hand gestures to be seen.

Page 28: Electronic Editing

Medium Close-up (MCU)• The lower frame line

passes through the chest of the actor. head and shoulders are seen.

• In interviews MCUs are preferred, the camera providing a sense of distance.

• Note that in western cultures the space within about 24 inches (60 cm) is generally felt to be private space, and BCUs may be invasive.

Page 29: Electronic Editing

Close-up (CU)

A picture which shows a fairly small part of the scene, such as a character's face, in great detail so that it fills the screen. It abstracts the subject from a context.

Page 30: Electronic Editing

Extreme Close-up (ECU)• Forehead to

chin. • Extreme Close-

ups focus attention on a person's feelings or reactions

• sometimes used to show people in a state of emotional excitement, grief or joy.
