List of 3 production roles and how 2 are carried out:

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.
