Film and Television Production is where you learn how to produce Films and Television shows.

Want to learn more about Production in Film and Television? [[yes]]

First we must learn about Camera's and angles. A common camera set up in a live studio is a Multiple-camera setup. [[Learn more about Multiple-camera setup]] [[cool, I want to know something else]]

Several cameras—either film or professional video cameras—are employed on the set and simultaneously record or broadcast a scene. Generally, the two outer cameras shoot close-up shots or "crosses" of the two most active characters on the set at any given time, while the central camera or cameras shoot a wider master shot to capture the overall action and establish the geography of the room. In this way, multiple shots are obtained in a single take without having to start and stop the action. [[Learn about Sound and Lighting->Sound and Lighting]]

Let's learn about Sound and Lighting. [[Sound and Lighting]] [[Learn about Camera's->Learn more about Multiple-camera setup]]

People working with lighting must ensure that the lighting equipment is working properly and they must have a knowledge on how to work the equipment and how to light a set and how to do different techniques. [[What do you need to know for Sound?]] [[What else do I need to know?]]

For Sound for production you must know how to record sound and how to operate equipment. Sound personnel select, operate and maintain sound equipment and accessories, and ensure that accurate reports of a recording are taken. Sound recording requires a combination of technical knowledge, artistic ability and personal communication skills.

We must also know about Editing. [[Tell me about Editing]]

When editing you must know how to use editing software to tell the story properly.Film and television editors are responsible for taking video footage and clips for a movie, documentary or television show and cropping, blending and syncing them together in order to produce a professional quality piece of work for the final copy. [[What is the software?]]

Sound post-production involves blending together the separate sounds – dialog, sound effects and music – on to a single track. The director’s creative input contributes to and helps maintain an overview of the entire sound structure. [[What is Editing?->Tell me about Editing]]

Adobe Premiere Pro is what most people use when starting off. Premiere Pro can be used for all common video editing tasks necessary for producing broadcast quality, high-definition video. It can be used to import video, audio and graphics, and is used to create new, edited versions of video which can be exported to the medium and format necessary for distribution. When creating videos using Premiere Pro, various video and still images can be edited together. Titles can be added to videos, and filters can be applied along with other effects. [[What about the future?]]

What does the future hold for Film and Television Production? [[The age of Netflix]] [[Film Today]]

The “Great Streaming Wars” dominate the headlines in today’s “television” world. And deservedly so. Yes, Netflix has always faced competitors. Amazon Prime Video and Hulu being two of those. But never like this. Now Disney+ and Apple TV+ battle it out to take Netflix down a peg or two (or several). And AT&T’s HBO Max and NBCUniversal’s Peacock soon enter this M&E battle royale (both launch during the first half of 2020). Netflix spent an eye-popping 15 billion on content this past year, a number that continues to escalate with each passing year. Apple spent a relatively paltry 6 billion by comparison and has relatively little to show for it so far. Meanwhile, Disney+ can sit back and relish its entirely unique position amidst the content noise.

Does this SVOD shock and awe - that increasingly lures us into our living rooms mean that theatrical motion pictures are dead? Of course not. We are social creatures after all, and we still crave communal storytelling experiences. In fact, perhaps we need them even more in this increasingly heads down, digitally-driven mobile-first age. Theaters must become destinations that cannot be replicated at our homes and offer 360-degree “experiences”.
