Executive Producer - Donny Coursey (Teacher)

This role (interchangeable with the title of show runner, considered the "auteur‟ of the program) is more abstract than other roles in production, though likely the most crucial to the production happening in the first place.
The concept and initiative for the program often comes from this person/s. In commercial productions, an executive producer is often the chief financial backer or production company head. Occasionally, an executive producer/show runner may have conceived the program‟s idea, and will develop its direction throughout the series, though wishes to delegate the tasks of executing their idea to a producer.

Producer -
In television, a producer is generally the primary person of responsibility for the production. The program may often be their own brain-child and a producer’s role co-ordinates all elements of production at its highest level.
A talented producer is adept at co-ordination - of crew and cast; administrative, legal, financial, budgeting and scheduling issues, as well as being the driving creative force. With all these issues and tasks to consider, a talented producer is a great delegator, being willing and able to pass on responsibility to trusted production team members they have assembled. It‟s often best for the producer to delegate as many roles as necessary to ensure they have enough time (and headspace!) to coordinate the production.

Director -
The role of director varies between programs filmed in-studio and on-location shoots.
A director of a multi-camera studio program is responsible overall for the inner workings of the control room, and the crew working within (occasionally known as a tech manager on some SYN TV productions). As such, they hold responsibility of the final product of a program as it goes to air live, trying to maintain quality output from the in-studio camera operators; as well as vision switchers, audio operators and graphic operators in the control room. A talented director is knowledgeable of all equipment in studio, plus the broadcast equipment it feeds in to. Similar to a floor manager, a good director makes decisions quickly, communicates clearly, and can react with a level head swiftly to unexpected occurrences, understanding any occurrence in studio or the control room to be expected. The director communicates to the crew member‟s earpieces via a studio microphone.

Technical director -
The Technical Director will be the person operating the Tricaster.

Floor Director - ______________________________________
In a studio-based program, the floor manager holds responsibility for operation of the studio floor where filming takes place, coordinating the talent, crew, props, set and tech equipment - acting as the main line of communication from the director within the control room. A good floor manager is able to co-ordinate many tasks and variables with a cool, even temperament and adapt flexibly and swiftly to the frequent unexpected occurrences typical of many shoots. They do this by communicating succinctly and clearly to the crew members they co-ordinate. Additionally, a floor manager ensures the set - with its many items and cables - is safe for all cast, crew and visitors. The floor director will need to be very familiar with using hand signals.

Turn on TV, plug in teleprompters, Turn on/off house lights and studio lights, Put on Headphones & communicate with the Director, initiate mic checks, hand signals,

Anchor -
news presenter – also known as a newsreader, newscaster (short for "news broadcaster"), anchorman or anchorwoman, news anchor or simply an anchor – is a person who presents news during a news program on the television, on the radio or on the Internet.

Reporter -
journalist who investigates, edits and reports news stories for newspapers, radio and television. 

Sound Board Operator -
The sound board operation is responsible for knowing how to use each piece of sound equipment involved in the production.


Camera Operators - ______________________________________
A camera op generally operates at the instruction of the director, and the composition (or framing) of their shots may be left to their own initiative, or instructed specifically to the director’s desire. A talented camera op has a natural feel for shot composition and light factors; takes instruction well, and has good stamina and stays attentive on a long day’s shoot, in addition to a good instinct to the action taking place.
