The Birth of British Television
Author: Mark Aldridge
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0230346723
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
When the BBC launched the world's first regular, high-definition television service on 2 November, 1936 it was the culmination of decades of technological innovations. More than this, however, the service meant that the principle of television had finally found its place. The Birth of British Television – A History traces the early history and development of television, from the experiments of amateurs to the institutionalised developments that led to the world's first regular, high definition television service. Author Mark Aldridge provides a clear, in-depth and accessible introduction for those either exploring the period for the first time or seeking new insights into the beginnings of the industry. In tracing the origins and development of television, Aldridge focuses on a number of important factors including the attitude of the press towards early television and examines the way that expectations of television changed over time prior to its official launch. Utilising new research, this illuminating study examines how the aims for a new television service developed, and the extent to which content and technology were linked. The Birth of British Television approaches this formative period from several perspectives, from private individuals to the BBC and government, while also examining the broader opinions at the time towards the new medium through press reports and feedback from the general public. Also included is an assessment of early programming, which helps to offer a new and profound evaluation of the development of early television. Mark Aldridge is a Lecturer in Film and TV Studies at Southampton Solent University, UK. He specialises in British television and both film and television history. His previous publications include T is for Television (2008), an analysis of the work of Russell T. Davies, co-written with Andy Murray.

Producing British Television Drama
Author: Ruth McElroy
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137578750
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
This book presents a compelling case for a paradigmatic shift in the analysis of television drama production that recentres questions of power, control and sustainability. Television drama production has become an increasingly lucrative global export business as drama as a form enjoys increased prestige. However, this book argues that the growing emphasis on international markets and global players such as Netflix and Amazon Prime neglects the realities of commissioning and making television drama in specific national and regional contexts. Drawing on extensive empirical research, Producing British Television Drama demonstrates the centrality of public service broadcasters in serving audiences and sustaining the commercial independent sector in a digital age. It attends closely to three elements—the role of place in the production of content; the experiences of those working in the sector; and the interventions from cultural intermediaries in articulating and ascribing value to television drama. With chapters examining the evolution of British TV drama, as well as what might be in store in its future, this book offers invaluable insights into the UK as a major supplier of and market for television drama.

Cinematography and Lighting for Television
Author: Tim Palmer
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040124542
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Drawing from author Tim Palmer's 30 years of experience working as a cinematographer for award-winning drama series including Killing Eve, Bad Sisters, and Line of Duty, this book is the go-to guide on how to light just about any scene a cinematographer may face when shooting a TV show. Focusing on lighting scenarios suitable for the small screen, the book is thematically organised into night and day, exteriors and interiors, and special situations including magic hour, candlelight and firelight, moonlight, torchlight, vehicle interiors, and green/blue screen, as well as providing examples from within the studio for each of these settings. Using the latest technology and developments in the practice, Palmer illustrates how cinematographers can effectively use lighting within a variety of situations. Palmer works through each example by illustrating and describing the setup with the corresponding finished film frames to show the final effect of the lighting achieved so cinematographers can easily apply and translate it to their own work. Including practical advice for working in the industry and tips for low-budget and student settings, this is an accessible and creative guide to producing visually compelling footage that translates the script to the screen. Ideal for the professional cinematographer and advanced students of cinematography looking to develop their skills.
