Television Production Process

We added a whole bunch of videos on television production to our channel!!
This is the first lecture for the course, "Introduction to TV Production" at Dixie State University in St. George, Utah. The lecture introduces the student to basic elements of television production and prepares students with terms and definitions that will be used throughout future lectures.
Please help us make more videos like this one by becoming a patron on Patreon at / howzitdun .
The video also demonstrates the use of the Community Education Channel studios to produce lecture videos. Professors can use three different camera angles depending on the type of content they are presenting. They can interact with graphics in a "Powerpoint on the projector" type setup. They can demonstrate using closeup shots of the subject of the demonstration. Finally, they can quickly jump back and forth between their computer screens and their live, on-camera lecture. This setup far surpasses the typical "sit in front of my web cam and record a lecture" type setup. Professors have the option of editing out mistakes, making the lecture more like live lectures by providing more movement, and using a variety of tools to make taped lectures more exciting in general.

This was an excellent video. You chose to discuss elements very key to understanding this process. I know about some of this but other elements I didn't know the names of. For instance the switcher. I'd seen this gear but didn't know what it was called and didn't fully understand its function. Very well explained

[@gubadtvlouis8332]

wow, we need more people like you. amazing information!

[@shabbyrama]

Great lecture by great Trainer. No regrets on using my internet bundle to watch you. Thank you so much, and keep doing the good work

[@MoudBarthez1]

[@otisalmato]

I have been working in television for 10 years now, and I must say I enjoy your lecture Dave. Greetings from Indonesia!

[@evanschilandani1883]

[@princebarbershop3903]

It was a very enjoyable video for me because I have to be learned many things from this video. Thanks a lot Dave Harris and I need your other lectures as well.

[@sertseyonasnegash92]

Very interesting lecture......I really learned a lot from this lecture. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful lesson.

[@michaeladams6913]

Grateful for "Basics 101", this has been very helpful!! 😎🎸

[@harnaazkaur2335]

Thanks a lot Sir! It was really helpful.

[@April0982]

Thank you so much! So glad I found this video. I’ve been working as a Broadcast I.T. Technician for about 3 years, with mainly an I.T. background only (no TV prior). This helped answer a lot of little questions I never really considered to ask… although I was quite proud that I already knew WX = weather. ;-)

[@codycarreras4825]

See I’m at a similar cross roads, I’m in IT but I find television, especially the behind the scenes, fascinating and IT isn’t what I want to do exactly anymore. I wasn’t sure if there was too much cross over… this comment makes me think I’m going in the right direction. IT in TV seems interesting to me. Thanks.

[@brigomedia]

[@Megyck]

Dave Harris videos are some of the more substantial videos on TV production I've seen on KZbin.

[@benjaminbalderas8052]

Thank you professor David, in your KZbin television production process video I learned a lot, I’m not in school but must learn the production process as I am starting a Christian broadcasting network using tricaster from newtec. Once again thank you at my age of 55 learning soothing new is not trouble-free, you have helped me feel good about learning once again. Question what is your opinion on the tri-caster mine or 8000 Benjamin / California

[@editorkmanikhemmusicprod]

This is Perfect!

[@MovideoMix]

Thanks Dave, Very Helpful...:)

[@four321zero]

Definite Subscribe. You mentioned during the video, about designations. Have you covered them in any of your later videos? I would surely like to see a video explaining most of the common designations, using an actual set, just like some of the things you explained in this video (example technical director). P.S. have you heard of Bam Bam Bigelow?

[@Megyck]

This is very helpful.

How long does it take to operate basics machines and produce a simple production lasting 10 mins advert

[@georgeampadu431]

Thank you dear lecture I need more training

[@ciccone39]

Are all jobs in television "do as your told" puppet jobs? In front of or behind the cameras, do all orders ultimately come down from a select few way at the top regardless of network? The reason I ask is because broadcasting is one area I'm interested in but I don't want to bother going for a degree if I can't use my artistic side freely producing or directing a broadcast.

[@jonathannkole5818]

thanks but i have question which program do i need to broadcast?

[@abedchristian9887]

Which equipments do I need to go on air live in TV production

[@dixieballer5227]

you're a legend

[@mengisteabteshome4937]

wonderful

[@kennytankersley4365]

I learned a few things from this one video. I was thinking of taking a course they have locally. My goal is to write for a television series. Would a production class be of use for that? Thanks.

[@harrismedia]

We don’t focus on writing in the in-person course. I can put together a few videos specifically on writing if you would like. Let me know.

[@chrisgrosso6207]

I'm looking to make a career switch into tv. I want to be an on-air personality. I don't know too much about the technical part of the job which I why I'm watching this but I have an infectious, charismatic personality, with great interpersonal skills and a great sense of humor which I think works to my advantage. Does anyone have any advice, connections, networking tips for this endeavor?

[@dtrain1024]

Very informative lecture. I am watching this tutorial while I'm on a short break from teaching in college.

[@nanapearlpearl2696]

dtrain1024 what do you teach?

[@Megyck]

Batteries are so crucial to TV production. We keep backups for the backups.

[@Thaizeo]

I actually recently got my associates in this field, looking to move to boston to acquire a career in this field .

[@harrismedia]

Nice!! I am planning an updated version of this video. So much has changed the past few years. I hope you are successful in your career aspirations.

I think this is Larry the cable guy.

[@vadersmith]

true XD

[@jhovsuico8533]

This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "video production camera equipment" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Piyason Videographic Ventures - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got excellent success with it.

[@daniel4647]

Meh, couldn't care less about the doctrine and lingo of television, I was looking for information on how to make something real, not how to become a corporate slave

[@officergregorystevens5765]

You probably should care about lingo and phraseology of an industry in which you're interested. What is a corporate slave? An employee isn't a slave
