I started my professional affiliation with channel 12 last
week ,it was an exciting start;as it was my first start with
an American Television Channel.It was a journey of
astonishment as I started to experience a different phase of
technological aspects of production.There were no cameramen
in the studio ,the reason was that there were robotic
cameras;there was a person operating the cameras just
thinking myself in the Back to Future.
I have noticed in the USA,there is less manpower in the
production as most reliance is on the technology which makes
the need to appoint a person for the specific job
irrelevant.Here the decisions are made in long term as its
better to buy a robotic camera once forever in comparison to
appoint three or four cameramen.While in my country if it
happens then it will mount to losing jobs of studio
cameramen which would invite different situation,no one
likes to witness.
Another feature different from my studio is that the
environment of studio is so calm that I never saw anyone
yelling or creating panicky.The credit of the calmness goes
to the prevalent situation in the country while the panicky
in my studio can be attributed to the every day changing
scene.
My take away:I have so much to share back in my country about different ways of production but the most important ones are management and calmness which are immensely needed in my studio.
I am so much impressed to see the kindness and patience of the Executive Producer of the show EVB Live on Channel 12 that I think its the traits a producer must have in order to not only run the show smoothly but to make the program successful
Congratulation Lubna for starting your professional development. This is good news..
In fact, technology is not only at the TV production, but, also, spreads in every where in America. At the time it save money and efforts, it deprive a citizen to have job opportunity! I am afraid that this is very problematic issue..
Thank you for your post!
