Television crew

When you watch a TV show, there is a group of people who work behind the scenes to make sure everything looks and sounds just right. They are called the television crew.

Think of a TV show like building a big sandcastle. There are a lot of different people who need to work together to make it all come together perfectly.

First, there are the people who make the plans. These are the producers, who decide what the show will look like and what will happen in each episode.

Next, there are the people who build the sandcastle. These are the set designers and construction workers who build the stage or sets where the actors will perform.

Then there are the people who decorate the sandcastle. These are the prop designers and decorators who add all the little details to make the show look just right.

There are also the people who tell the actors what to do. These are the directors, who tell the actors how to act and where to stand on the stage.

And, finally, there are the people who capture everything that is happening on camera. These are the camera operators, sound engineers and lighting technicians who make sure everything is captured just right.

All of these people work together as a team to make each episode of your favorite TV show.
