Studio Crew

Here is the basic roles of a TV Studio. You have :

Director: Is in charge of the studio. Some of the traits that they must have is to be able to make decisions quickly, be able to solve problems, be certain of themselves, what shots they want, and many more. Also they have to be calm because if they are all stressed then that can cause the other crew to be stressed and this can make the show not to be produced to professional standers.

Assistant Director: Makes sure that the crew is prepared so they have to be alert at all times for what the director wants them to do and to be prepared.

Vision Mixer: Switches shots according to script and as directed. They have to be prepared for what the director wants them to do. Watch the monitors at all times and to be focus.

Lighting: Controls the lights according to script and as directed

Sound Operator: Controls sound levels and makes sure all microphones are working. They have to make sure that there are no other sources of sound and to make sure that there isn't any interference. They have to have good hearing and know the equipment that they are working with. Also they need to be quick on the faders and to watch the levels of the dB.

Floor Manager: Relays what the director wants on the studio floor and over sees problems that the director doesn't have to handle. They never leave the studio floor. They have to be bossy because they have to have control over the studio, they can't have people running wild in there. They also have to be a good listener and listen to what the director wants from them.

Assistant Floor Manager: Gets things from outside the studio floor. Helps problems.

Camera Operator: Controls the camera, gives shot that the director wants along with giving shots that they think could be used for the programme. They have to be imaginative and give the director a choose of different shots and they have to be aware of the space around them. Always know what the director wants and pay attention to the tally light, when they are online, and the space in the viewfinder.

Assistant Camera Operator: Keeps wires from damage, helps moves the pedestal around. They also have to be aware of the space around them to be able to move the camera

All roles have to understand all of the technical lingo otherwise the crew isn't going to function well and all roles have to have good communication and a good attention span because if they don't pay attention and communicate it can make the show incredibly hard to shot for the director and if they don't communicate problems then the director won't know what's going on, which can ruin the show.
