PRODUCTIONTeam - working out of sequence - in studio - OB - check the actors
THREE PHASES OF PRODUCTION - PRE-PRODUCTION, PRODUCTION, POSTPRODUCTION

| FOR FULL DESCRIPTION - see Radio Acting |
 PRODUCTION IS DONE OUT OF SEQUENCE.
PRODUCTION is not normally done in order of the script. |
| RECORDING SCHEDULE is determined by: (1) sound sets and production complexity, (2) in Studio or outside (OB), (3) actors' availability. |
|
PRODUCTION OUT OF SEQUENCE means
that each take must be numbered and organised for POSTPRODUCTION. |
| DIRECTOR: Make sure the actors are fully aware of each scene. |
| DIRECTOR - AT THE BEGINNING OF PRODUCTION: Do not record a demanding scene very early on. Let each actor have a run-in. Let the actor discover the character, and the character's relationships. |
| DIRECTOR - AT THE BEGINNING OF PRODUCTION: An actor may discover the character faster or slower than another actor in the scene (the SCENE PARTNER). This is a difficulty. You have to solve this. |
| DIRECTOR & TECHNICAL TEAM - CHECK THE ACTORS: No jewellery, noisy clothing, noisy shoes, dry mouths (clacking), poorly-fitting dentures, colds and coughs, nasal problems. |
| COUGHS AND COLDS: Can be a disaster for a day of PRODUCTION. Especially if PRODUCTION IS DONE OUT OF SEQUENCE. It will be impossible to match up scenes in POSTPRODUCTION. |
