STUDIO PRODUCTION: Research (BBC Academy, 'Guide to a TV Studio')

http://www.bbc.co.uk/academy/production/article/art20130702112135564 


50-60 people working on the show - communication is key to ensure everybody knows what they have to do 
Studios are just big empty rooms - everything is designed, built and bought in by the production company. 
The studio floor is where the action happens and the audience goes. The floor manager listens to the producer and director to ensure plans are followed and production runs smoothly. 
Various galleries that control light, sound and the overall direction of the show. Sound is mixed by a sound supervisor whilst a grams operator plays out the music and sound effects. The production gallery houses the producer, who is ultimately in charge of the production and the director. 
Script Supervisor keeps show on time
Vision mixer selects shots
Director controls which shots are selected, look of show and how it comes across on tv
Directions are sent by talkback systems that connect the galleries and studio floor. 

Studio Etiquette - know your role and where you fit! Yes, studios are big but so too is the cast, crew, audience and equipment. Be aware of health and safety and familiarise yourself with the risk assessment. 
High pressure job so always stay calm.
