COMM 229: Production

I just read this week's chapter which focused on production and the different aspects involved with the field. All I should say to start would be wow! I mean, I knew production at least involved pre-production, production/filming, post-production, but there is so many things that are in all those categories that it is crazy! In the fields, you would have researchers, design teams like set and art design), producers, directors, editors, you name it you got it. There is so many little things that go along with production whether it is radio, television, print, or film. Obviously, many people think of movies when they hear the word producer, but there is a producer in all four of those categories, and each one does their own little thing to make sure the product gets out into the public. I think it's fascinating that there are so many things that are involved with production, but I also am not surprised because it takes a lot of work and a lot of effort to get that product out. It allows a lot of jobs throughout the fields which is great for the economy and for anyone needing a job that is pertained to the field of work they are involved with.
