All of us spend some time every day before the television watching some of the programs. Some of them are broadcast over a period of time as different episodes. Some programs are just a one-off broadcast and some of them are live telecasts. Whatever the case might be there is a lot of effort which goes on behind the scenes.

There is a team consisting of different people doing different things. Some programs are shot in a studio which has different cameras fed into a control room and pictures assembled. The other programs are shot at a location and assembled later using a computer or in an editing room. In a non-professional production, the director puts all the shots together later. He can deal with one situation at a time and repeat the shot or shoot in any sequence he likes. This provides ample opportunities to enrich the scenes as there are various locations and also lots of time.

Plenty of time is spent in the preparation before the actual production. The scripting consumes time and the entire production has to be organized. Once the concept is ready, the cast is selected and then the type of the shoot is determined. The producer has a great responsibility of bring together the crew and the equipment for the actual production. It definitely requires the skills and effort of the entire team to do a good shoot.

Every show requires a show runner who will manage everything and a producer, who hires the director and the crew and takes care of all the other arrangements. Most of the team works through the preproduction, production and postproduction stages of a project.

There is generally a big team working together to shoot an episode. The actors are very important to the show as they are the ones who actually bring it on screen, but the production team is equally important as they are the ones who make the show.

When the team is ready, the shooting begins to take place. Shooting can be done at a studio or at a location. The place is decided based on the cost involved. In most cases, a studio seems to be more expensive than shooting on location. Also, shooting in a studio would mean handling two or three cameras. Shooting with a single camera has more control and makes editing easy.

The shows that finally come on air are chosen by the network and the others are either dumped or stored for use later.
