Task 1.3 – Research into studio-based broadcast media production
So for this task I’m going to research the different types of broadcast media roles by researching three key roles in the tv studio industry by conducting this research I would be able to understand some of the important roles the media industry has to offer.
Producer
What does a producer do
Producers in the media industry are able to oversee , design and implement projects and working on strict schedules and deadlines and sometimes but not always assisting to keep a film crew under a certain budget. A producer would oversee the production of video & audio elements used in both tv & adverts they also work with production crew , directors , sound engineers and videographers and to oversee production and that is what a producer does.
What equipment would a producer need
For a producer to work they will need certain equipment for them to produce the stuff they need for the tv industry some producers recommend these as it would make a producers job easy these are.
Google Drive
When it comes to storage google drive is what most producers would use to store video , audio and production notes the reason they use google drive for storage is because they would not lose the work compared to using OneDrive , A memory stick or an SD card and Google Drive doesn’t take a lot of storage which gives producers a helping hand when it comes to saving their work.
StudioBinder
A majority of producers would use a website called Studiobinder and producers use this to help manage their productions within the tv & film industry studiobinder helps by assisting with call sheets , script breakdowns , shot list & storyboards , shooting schedules , contact list , task calendars and files producers use this to make things easier for them and studiobinder uses less time compared to it being written up completely.
Those are just two of the things that I’ve found out that producers use to create there shows & movies and found out that by using these two it would make a producers job a slightly better experience.
What specialist vocabulary would a producer need to understand
Producers and most of the film industry have certain specialist words & phrases that they use to understand certain parts of the industry and producers learn this by working in the tv industry for a long period of time. Some of these words are.
- Anamorphic
- Back Projection
- Close-Up
- Double Exposure
- Establishing Shot
Those are just some of the words that producers need to understand if they are to work in the film & tv industry they need to understand these but there many more words they use in the industry most I cant really fit in they use those sort of words as signals for film & tv production. https://www.kingseducation.com/kings-life/filmmaking-vocabulary.
What is the importance of a producer in a tv studio
Producers are one of most important & vital roles in the tv studio as the producers helps & manage to keep things in order whilst filming and behind the scenes production takes place.

Other things they need to have are lenses , sound equipment , tripod , lighting , reflectors and a camera bag to carry the camera around. By having this equipment they will be use these to create content whether its for the internet , tv or film that’s the equipment they must have to film stuff. https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/cinematographer-equipment-checklist-74400/

These are some of the specialist vocabulary that camera operators need to understand these if they are to work behind the camera or behind the scenes there are load more words that they use however I am unable to list all. https://www.kingseducation.com/kings-life/filmmaking-vocabulary
