  • The Producing Process 3
    03-Schultz.qxd 6/29/2004 12:34 PM Page 37 The Producing Process 3 y now, you have a pretty good idea of what a producer does to get B a newscast on the air. So far, we have only talked about these duties in the abstract sense. It is now time to take a closer look at the step-by-step process of putting a show together. Story Ideas and News Value A newscast starts with a series of story ideas, which are nothing more than potential ideas that could eventually end up in the show. Story ideas come from a variety of sources, and the good producer will often come to work with several story ideas already formulated. These may come from other media, be follow-ups from stories done the previous day, or be a consequence of personal observation (see Table 3.1 for examples). Producers like their reporters to come to work with story ideas, and reporters should have some concrete suggestions for stories, even if these ideas never pan out. Too many reporters show up with the expectation that producers will have a story already assigned to them. This can waste a lot of precious news time as reporters scramble to try and set up a story or contact news sources. Producers and reporters will suggest their story ideas at the editorial meeting, where they and the news director will discuss events going on in the area. The purpose of the meeting is to consider all possible story ideas and narrow them down to a list of stories that will go in the newscast.

The 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award Nominations were revealed today on the Emmy-winning show, “The Talk,” on CBS. “After last year’s critically successful Daytime telecast, it is with great disappointment that The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announces that there will not be a broadcast of the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy ® Awards,” said Bob Mauro, President. “After months of negotiations to find show sponsorship, the NATAS Executive Board has decided that the current climate for awards shows prohibits the possibility of a telecast this year. With that said, we will be putting on a world-class awards celebration honoring the best and brightest of Daytime television and look forward to an exciting show. All efforts regarding returning the annual gala to television in 2017 are underway.” “We are especially grateful for our passionate Daytime fans and are looking forward to producing a grand gala that honors the talents and artistries of all the professionals that represent Daytime television,” said David Michaels, SVP, Daytime Emmy Awards.

  • Creating Images for Hollywood Classics Vicki James Yiannias
    Creating Images for Hollywood Classics Vicki James Yiannias From the time of silent films, the images of American cinema have reflected the environment of their time. The sounds, sites, costumes, makeup, and movements on the screen reinforce the norms of the era, but also give a taste of social changes in their early phases. Most popular attention has been focused on actors, who when influential are labeled stars, even if their talent is limited. More recently some directors also have become “bankable” as stars of their own kind. Still under-appreciated by most filmgoers are the critical behind-the scenes roles by others in the filmmaking team. Greeks who have carved some legendary spaces in their respective specialties are not widely celebrated, even by the Greek American public. Six such individuals are Jack Pierce, make-up and special effects artist; Hermes Pan, choreographer; Dean Tavoularis, production designer; and Theoni Aldredge, Patricia Field, and Mary Zophres, three extraordinary costumer designers. From Frankenstein to Mister Ed Special effects and makeup genius Jack Pierce (1889-1968) is one of the great innovators in Hollywood history. His masterly conceived monsters and creatures created for Hollywood horror classics such as Frankenstein (1931), Dracula 1931), The Mummy (1932), and Wolf Man (1941) are still terrifying, and their influence on popular culture, continues on a grand scale. Yiannis Peter Piccoulas (1889-1968) was born in Porto Cheli, Ermionida, in the Peloponnese. His father was a shepherd (likely to have been originally from the village of Valtestsi).1 In 1902, when he was just thirteen, Piccoulas left his family to come to America in search of a better life.
