ABSTRACT

Earlier, we learned that although every member of the production team involved in the completion of a video project is important, television is a producer’s medium. The successful producer needs to manage a complex organization to produce a successful program. To do that, the producer needs to have two significant sets of skills. Managing the human aspect of the production-dealing with cast and crew-requires the producer to have the people skills characteristic of a good communicator and manager. To manage technical aspects of production-dealing with equipment and facilities-the producer needs to be skilled in production techniques as well.
