Shooting any TV show starts with ideas. There may be infinitely many ideas, but the winner is the one who can convince the leadership of the need for this or that transfer. He has the cards in his hands, that is, all the powers to direct the shooting, to distribute the budget, etc.
Instructions
Step 1
Separate studios are allocated only for proven and popular programs. For each new program, the studio is being built from scratch, on rented film studios, in abandoned warehouses and factory workshops. The studio, as a rule, is built through contractors - specialized firms that build sets, make light and sound, special effects and props, hang screens, etc. Moreover, the construction of the studio is proceeding with maximum savings, because the budget for each program is limited and for the sake of economy they go for everything.
Step 2
Not far from the studio, a film crew is building a control room - a room for the director, film crew and television equipment. The control room is sheathed with noise-absorbing material so that the sound people do not get in the way of unnecessary noise. The equipment in the control room is connected to the equipment in the studio. Cameras are installed in the studio itself. Their number varies from 3 to 10, but more often it is 4-6. Cameras, sound and light are customizable.
Step 3
For each program, a separate script is written, in which the action of each character is detailed down to the smallest detail. When the hero of the program makes a mistake in answering the simplest question, it is not an accident. If a person answers the most difficult questions and makes incredible calculations in his mind, this is not the result of his abilities. All questions and answers to them are written in the script. There is nothing accidental or unexpected - everything is pre-written in the script. Actors and presenters are selected, contracts are concluded with them.
Step 4
At the final stage of preparation, logos, screensavers, background music, graphics are developed. Trailers are being filmed, extras are being recruited. As a rule, people come to little-known programs just so that they light up on TV. Large TV channels pay extras a small amount of money. At the same time, strict requirements are imposed on them in terms of appearance, discipline, and behavior in the studio. It often happens that the crowd is recruited from among the relatives and friends of the film crew.
Step 5
The shooting day lasts from 9 am to 10 pm. Shooting session - 10 to 15 days. 2-4 programs are filmed per day so that one filming session provides a six-month broadcast. Shooting all programs for the season allows you to save a lot on renting a studio, equipment, on salaries for all project participants. Filming is conducted according to a predetermined scenario. All changes in the script are promptly reported to the presenter through a special earpiece. The leader is selected from the crowd and he is also given a microphone through which the commands "applause", "laughter", "silence" are transmitted. The rest of the "masses" look at him and do the same.
Step 6
After filming, editing is done. The most successful angles from all the shots are selected, everything unnecessary is removed, the duration of the transmission is adjusted to the desired one. Most importantly, all minor defects are removed: shading from a broken spotlight, breakage in the scenery, etc. Indeed, in most cases, filming cannot be stopped - the actors' play will be weaker, precious time will be lost, and all participants in the filming process will have to pay more. Thus, it is easier and faster to rewire than to re-shoot.
Step 7
The finished program is launched on the air. The film crew rests and switches to other projects. After each episode is shown, the broadcast rating is measured. Depending on the rise or fall of the rating, the program is either closed, or a decision is made to shoot further issues.
