Television production


By: abby gonzalez


When people produce a television show they have many jobs, actors and have lots of TV and camera equipment. The television show is made by a cable company that has an agreement with the government. They make many TV shows from Local to worldwide! The local ones are always News, community TV, E.D, and for children and adults. For each TV show many have rules or all have rules but some are stricter and others are easy. For a TV show or commercial it can be produced by anything, a camcorder, a professional camera, cartons/paper and drawings, or putting footage together to make a video. All you have to do is add some final touches and you’re done. Yet this is a simpler way of doing it the real way is even harder.

The Show has different parts of the story and the people. The Gatekeeper has all the control in the small numbers on the show. The Actor is a big part of creating a TV show; the actor uses meticognition questions too. Who is my audience? Do I know my line? Do I have time? Will I forget? All these questions are good for an actor; he/she will need them for the big time to act.

The main person who is in charge of the entire show is the producer! The producer does all the shows, makes and chooses the characters; also he/she writes and directs the show. The director is in charge or all the props, construction sets and backgrounds, casting guest stars from other shows, movies, budgeting, acquiring resources like lighting, special effects, stunts, stunt doubles etc. Once all the set and crew is ready, the spotlight goes on and falls on the stars! However before that they have to plan and rehearse all their lines, actions, stunts, and go over the story board over repeated times until they got it.

All the T.V. shows are not what they seem, REALLY HARD! They are not if you think of it as an actor or a stunt double. However as a Director, Producer and camera man, that is some hard work to do! The producer in charge of the director making sure that he/she gets all the props. Spotlight, budgeting, writing the show etc.! The camera man making sure he/she has the lines writing on the inside of the camera. All that seems very hard to me when you have hard jobs like that.
