I've enjoyed teaching TV production this term. Today, we did our fourth show for the term: an interview show. Essentially we were doing a copy version of "The Charlie Rose Show." It looks very simple, but I think by the second run-through many members of the class realized we weren't quite hitting it. The simplicity is deceiving, and pulling this off requires focus on every detail from the director and every member of the crew. As Director Ferrand says in Day for Night:
What is a film director? A man who's asked questions about everything. Sometimes he knows the answer.Ah well: a very good learning experience for everyone. Above: an iPhone snap of today's Television Studio class.
