The Production Process: A Behind-the-Scenes Look into the Live Video Production Industry

Abstract

This project examines the live video production workflow. It explores the different crew positions and breaks down the production process into three phases. I photographed multiple productions that took place with Media Arts Productions, Blue Raider Student Television, and the Advanced Multi-camera Production classes at Middle Tennessee State University. Through this behind-the-scenes photographic documentation, the elaborate production process that brings live events to screens is illustrated in this creative project. The final photos were compiled into a photo book that is intended to highlight the people and general process that make viewing live events in homes and on phones possible.
