List of 3 production roles and how they can be carried out
Before, I had discussed the roles I had carried out in the Chapel sessions. I stated that I would be describing 3 of the production roles I carried out in detail, including some examples of them.
3 Production roles are:
• Audio engineer – responsible for the sound (audio).
• Video mixer – Responsible for managing cameras and mixing video streams.
• Tape operator – Responsible for recording shows (audio/video).
Audio Engineer:
The audio engineer is the person who mixes audio and makes sure everything sounds as close to perfect as possible. The process the audio engineer goes through is:
• Comunicates with the artist/band to get an idea of the audio levels and to make sure that every microphone/instrument is working properly (the sound check).
• Once the sound check is complete, the audio engineer asks the artist/band if they want to record or have a run through, and then signals the tape operator to start recording.
• Once the recording is done, a rough mix is created before the final mix is produced and sent off.
• They are responsible for the final mix.
Equipment used for audio engineers:
• Audio console.
• Headphones.
• Studio monitors.
Video mixer:
Like the audio engieneer, the video mixer’s job is to quite literally mix and switch between different cameras. When recording a web TV show, cameras play just as much of a vital role as the audio side (microphones, instruments ETC). The video mixer’s responsibilities are:
• Switching between different cameras to get the best shots at any one time.
• Crossfaiding and blending the camera shots in.
• Mixing still camera feeds.
• Monitoring and switching between differen motion shots.
Equipment list:
• Tricaster/video console.
• Tricaster software.
