ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the director's and producer's work in programs that were produced using multiple-camera techniques. An awareness of the production techniques for the formats presented in this chapter-found footage, expanded coverage, creation, recreation, and montage-can be useful when considering the best way to present a subject. The game starts with the first pitch in the first inning and is over when the game is done. Creation as a part of documentary television production stems from formats that create an event for us and then document it. Montage makes it possible to work with a specific idea by showing various images around a single subject. The chapter sees a montage of pictures-first baby pictures, then grade school, and then high school graduation pictures; in just a few seconds the subject of the documentary has gone from 8 months old to 18 years old.
