ABSTRACT
This chapter briefly cover following three phases and detail significant aspects of pre-production. The pre-production are: the written planning for the shoot, production, and post-production including editing and sound design. Fundamental to understanding the TV industry's production practices is the concept of mode of production. A mode of television production is an aesthetic style of shooting that often relies upon a particular technology and is governed by certain economic systems. To make single-camera production economically feasible, there must be extensive pre-production planning. In multiple-camera programs, post-production varies from minimal touch-ups to full-scale assembly. To analyze television style, we must have a fundamental understanding of its two principal modes of production: single-camera and multiple-camera. Single-camera mode of production came first, originating in the cinema; but multiple-camera has been central to television since the 1940s. The multiple-camera mode aims several cameras at the actors and the set in order to simultaneously capture their performances as they occur.
