Making a TV serial

It usually takes five days to make one episode of a TV serial. In that time, the actors must learn their words, the director must plan every move of the ators and the crew, and then they must record the episode on video.

First, the actors read the script to themselves. Then they come together and read the script aloud with the director. They call this a “table reading” because they all sit round a table.

The hard work begins on the second day. The actors and the director work through the episode again and again. The director helps the actors to do it better each time.

The actors and the director work together for another day. The director also starts to think about how the actors should move and how the cameras should record each scene (A scene = a part of an episode).

The fourth day is a big day for the crew. While the actors go through the episode again, the crew work out what they must do in each scene. There are usually about forty people in the crew, so this is important: everybody must know what to do, where and when.

On the last day, the actors and the crew pratise and prepare together for the last time before the recording. Then the cameras and microphones start recording. Each part of the episode is recorded more than once, so the director can choose the best recordings later. The recording usually takes about four hours. But if there are problems, everyone works all night.

Before the actors go home after the recording, the director gives them the script for the nest episode.
