Studio protocol and practice

The person in charge of the whole production will be the director. The director will decide and finalize what goes into the show. After that comes the FM who is the Directors voice on the floor;any crew is not to disturb the director whilst he is doing his job other than the floor manager. this means that if there are any problems on the floor the crew will have to go through the FM, it is then up to the FM to sort any problems out. However if the FM cannot sort out the problem the FM can then ask the director for help - but this is only if the problem cannot be fixed. However if there is a problem and it can be fixed the FM will have to tell the director that there is a problem and then tell the director how long it will take.

The FM will also interact with the talent: the FM will have to run through any health and safety with the talents and also get them into the show.

Health and safety in a studio is very important, as their are many cables, heavy equipment and hot lights around. For example: You could trip over any cables that have not been managed to get taped down, drop a peice of equipment and injure yourself and also in the unlikely event of a light dropping down this could injure somebody and/or start a fire, so it is important that ALL crew and talent are informed on what to do if anything like the above happens. In a professional situation it would be likely that there would be an accident report book on hand so any accidents that may occur can be recorded and looked at to see if there is anything that can be done in order to prevent it from happening again.
