Description
Written by television trainers who run their own courses on Multiskilling, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to the broad
range of skills and technical knowledge required in this industry. It details all the essential information you need to know, acting
as an on-the-job reference source for everyday use.
For many broadcasting technicians, one of the biggest challenges in recent years
has been the transition from a career working in a solo core skill such as camerawork or audio, to acquiring the experience and expertise
of a range of production jobs. Many people are expected to work in a number of crafts and to equip themselves with a much wider range
of television techniques than had been customary in the past.
Multiskilling has become an integral part of television culture, requiring
that new entrants are competent in several specialist production skills. Multiskilling for Television Production concentrates on the
techniques associated with news and magazine programme production, where most tecnhical operators are usually employed, but most techniques
are shared across the whole spectrum of television and film making.
Anyone baffled by the range and scope of skills to be mastered
will find this book invaluable.
Audience:
Students on multiskilling courses, anyone having to multiskill, whether coming from a sound, camera, vision mixing, graphics, lighting
or editing background. Students on TV production courses.Practioners in the field having to learn new skills.
