Download or read book Television Directors Race and Gender written by Jonathan J. Cavallero and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the predominant framing of US television as a writer’s or producer’s medium by suggesting that television directors are a vital component of TV artistry. Looking beyond a perspective that favors the narrative and economic aspects of television but undervalues the medium’s formal elements, the book explores how directors use the visual and aural to contribute layers of meaning that add to the thematic development of television texts. Starting from the belief that television aesthetics partially reveal the ways in which directors (and their collaborators) contribute to the overall thematic development of a program, the author offers five case studies that map out the ways that directors have contributed to television drama throughout the medium’s approximately 80-year history. By devoting special attention to the presence and voices of directors from marginalized backgrounds, the book creates opportunities to discuss television from perspectives that emphasize issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This original and insightful work will appeal to students and scholars of television studies, television production and media production, critical media studies, media authorship, gender studies, and race and media.

Curtis Saville Producer, Rogers Sportsnet _____ [Excerpt from Chapter 4] A script assistant provides a countdown to the top of the clock. "On air in 60, ...30, ...10 seconds to air." The director gives the standby to roll VTR gold and track tape. The script assistant continues, "In 5, 4, 3, 2..." The director gives the "roll gold" and "track gold" cue and the pre-recorded show tease and opening animation rolls to air. As the pre-taped opening ends the director provides crew instructions, "ready to go to camera 2, with graphics hot," meaning the graphics are in standby mode. "open their mics," "Pan 2," camera 2 begins a panoramic pan of the inside of the arena, "dissolve 2, fly the graphics" the technical director dissolves the sources and the graphics operator triggers the titles to fly onto the screen. The director cues the announcers to welcome the audience. You're ON THE AIR! The director opens a switch to speak to the announcers, "ready on camera," then to the rest of the crew "Ready Camera 6 on a 2-shot with a slight zoom - Zoom 6 - dissolve camera 6." The announcers introduce themselves to the audience and begin to provide details as to what will unfold over the course of the show. As the commentators make reference to key players, the director cuts between cameras which have been instructed to locate and provide images of these athletes. During the hour before the game, camera operators provided shots of various players warming up. These images were recorded by the videotape operators. A short edited montage or "bumper" was created to end this segment of the show. This is used to lead the audience to the first commercial break. The on-air talent is given the cue to wrap up their thoughts. The director continues with crew instructions, "ready to go to bumper from VTR blue with graphics hot for a blind reveal, ready to sneak in your music" the audio cue given to the A1. "Music in - roll blue and dissolve blue" to the technical director who mixes the sources. The graphic operator activates the lower third graphic revealing the names of the two teams. The announcers look at their court side TV monitor and add a voice-over to accompany the images being shown, ..".and we'll be right back with the opening line-ups after this short break..." _____ The feeling you receive from directing is akin to playing sports at a high level.

This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines and analyses the diversity of television content. More specifically, it provides an in-depth study of the development of television content. We attempt to study content through the concept of diversity, which is considered as being a methodological tool that records and describes trends in television programming. Through the methodological use of diversity, the rationale behind the programming structure is presented and, therefore, the structures that create and constitute the content can be shown. A detailed discussion is developed, as well as a new approach to television diversity, in light of the methodological examination.
