Television Production

·         With working with cameras and lighting one must often see how far production can go in the eBook Television Production by Gerald Millerson and Jim Owens, they discuss a wide variety of techniques and styles for a production team or those interested in the field. One of the first things they talk about in the book is the size of the production team. In our capstone group we have about a small size of 5 people working on the video, a production crew greatly differ in size as the book says. There is not a “perfect” size for all crews. The right size for a project depends on the type of project that you are working on and the preferences of the director. Since Owen is the director of the reality show, he believes the amount people we have is perfect and I agree. At one end of the scale, there are directors who initiate the main idea, they write the script and even design the stage and cast the characters. A crew is there to help the director make his vision become true, that is the productions teams’ job.  There are different roles a production crew has there is the executive producer, producer, assistant producer/ associate producer, director, asst. director, production asst, floor manager/stage assistant, technical director, make-up artist, costume designer, graphics designer, camera operator, lighting operator, audio technician and video editor.
