A Bird's Eye View of theProduction Process

The person in charge of launching entire production is generally the producer. He or she comes up with the program concept, lays out the budget for the production, and makes the major decisions. This person is the team leader, the one who works with the writers, hires the director, decides on the key talent, and guides the general direction of the production.

A Bird's Eye View of theProduction Process

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.

A Bird's Eye View of theProduction Process

Some productions may also have an associate producer who sets up schedules for the talent and crew and who generally assists the producer.

A Bird's Eye View of theProduction Process

On a major production, one of the producer's first jobs is to hire a writer to write the script (the document that tells everyone what to do and say). The script is like a written plan or blueprint for the production.

A Bird's Eye View of theProduction Process

The producer will next consider the key talent for the production. In general, the talent includes actors, reporters, hosts, guests, and off-camera narrators -- anyone whose voice is heard or who appears on camera. Sometimes talent is broken down into three sub-categories: actors (who portray other people in dramatic productions), performers (who appear on camera in nondramatic roles), and announcers (who generally don't appear on camera).

A Bird's Eye View of theProduction Process

In a large production, the producer will hire the director.

The director is in charge of working out preproduction (before the production) details, coordinating the activities of the production staff and on-camera talent, working out camera and talent positions on the set, selecting the camera shots during production, and supervising postproduction (after production) work.

In other words, once the producer sets things in motion, the director is in charge of taking the script from the beginning to the very end of the production process.

A Bird's Eye View of theProduction Process

Assisting a director in the control room is typically a technical director who operates the video switcher. (A rather elaborate version is shown on the right.)

The technical director, or TD, is also responsible for coordinating the technical aspects of the production.

A Bird's Eye View of theProduction Process

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.

The lighting director (LD) designs the lighting plan, arranges for the lighting equipment, and sets up and checks the lighting.

As we'll see, lighting is a key element in the overall look of a production.

Some productions have a set designer who, along with the producer and director, designs the set and supervises its construction, painting, and installation.
