Effective TV Production
Effective TV Production gives a succinct but thorough overview of the production process. Whatever your role in television, this book outlines the main functions of your job, placing them in the context of all other operations and showing how they are interrelated.
The book shows how, within the often severe limitations of time and money, it is possible to originate interesting and competitive television programmes. It describes the essentials of good camerawork and relates them to considerations of audio, staging, lighting, make-up and wardrobe techniques and the way in which a production is developed in approach and style form the initial stages to the moment of shooting.
This edition is substantially revised to reflect developments in technology and contemporary production styles.
Gerald Millerson'd books on television have long been acknowledged as among the best ever published.

This extremely comprehensive guide takes you through the various steps of putting on a live, live-to-tape, or taped broadcast of a television program. At this point the information is slightly outdated, but that is only because I picked it up some years ago. The information was fresh when I bought it, but technology sort of advanced on us since then.
Part of a series on film and television production that together I feel would make up quite a comprehensive course on the matter. This particular copy was a former special order at the New Bern Books-A-Million that was never picked up and so was added to the shelves for general sale.
Densely packed, fitting quite a lot of information into a relatively small book. It's large textbook worthy in a small, almost pocket-sized format, something one could easily keep on their desk or with other papers on a television studio for easy reference.
