The TV Set by Jake Kasdan



The film TV set is an example on how to produce, cast, write and finally air a new show. Being in front or at the back of the camera is not an easy thing to do.  This is the reality of every show that’s being produced and being shown in every television. It showcases how detailed and hard work it is from the producer down to the staffs. The film has shown the advantage and disadvantages of being a part of a show.

          In the first part they made us see how detailed it is to pick a talent and sometimes it is hard for the director to choose the final characters that will definitely fit for the role. Also, it may have had a lot of arguments because not all of the team agrees on what everyone wants. There will always be a conflict with it. When it comes to story pitching, the dilemma also takes place. What I’ve seen in the movie is that the producer and the president want to have a different say about the story flow. The producer would want the brother to be in prison while the president wants the brother to commit suicide. I’ve relate it to our personal experiences when it comes to productions and shoot that everyone would want to have their say in the story and ending up following a certain person for the final story. Making a story and having new ideas is definitely a big challenge to take. On the other hand, the advantage of being involved in these kinds of production is the experience itself. In a day you will learn a lot from the people, talent, staffs and everyone behind you. You’ll sure grow as a different person when you’re out of the game. The ones you meet are your treasures. It pays big but you also have to make sacrifices for yourself and for your family.  The disadvantage of this and also the saddest part that I’ve watched is when the director doesn’t have time anymore for the family and there’s this one scene in the movie that the wife and his son we’re heading back to London and all he can do is nothing. He can’t leave the production just by that. It is a priority and a serious job to take. He can’t even fix his family over his job. For me, that’s the one big thing that I’m afraid about and I wouldn’t want that to happen in real life.  At the end of it, I have to give credits for the producer that he made it through the hardships and still continued his job till the launching of their show. The next thing now is the actors. They should always be in good terms no matter what happens in front of the camera not like what happened in the film they are being awkward with each other with the every scene they take that’s why they have different approaches on the same situation which is really not good at all in the eyes of the director and everyone. I think because of that it started a doubt between the heads of the productions over the actor if what they’ve been performing would love the audience. Through that what they did was they had a pre showing of the program that’s composed of different people from different walks of life it ended up that most of the men loved the show because of the lead female star. Lastly, I observed that they also are making survey and I think above all it is also very important to see what’s the opinion in every persons perspective. The title is the main attraction of the show.

          I learned so many things about productions and actually producing a show by watching these films. I have grown and opened my mind from the many possibilities that there may be in the future. Also , I came to realized that I might be one of the people working in the field in the near future so I think that I have to prepare myself this. It is really a good and very exciting film to watch especially when you’re in that field and you can just imagine the situation. Every second counts. In this kind of life, there’s no turning back.
