The studio is the first to make a definite TV series. They will be able to verify from the various scripts that come to them and decide which TV series will be and what TV series will be the budget. After fixing it, they lifted budgets and scripts in a show runner's hand. Occasionally there are also reverses. The runner goes to the studio with the script's script and convinces the studio to plan for the series to finance it. It is worth mentioning that the runner is the creator of a series.

It is almost the same time that the show runner is told by the studio to create the first episode of the series. This is called pilot episode.

Think now you are a show runner in the series. The series that you have handed to your studio is a drama series. Episodes will be 13 in every season. Take the length of each episode to 50 minutes. Studio but will not give you state time for a season filming. The studio's money management, Caste's time-schedules, will be available for a full time in a short time. It can be seen that the time taken to make the entire sequence of a series of 13 episodes takes place, it takes more time to create a block Buster film.

So, your main responsibility as a show runner is time and responsibility allocation. At the beginning you will make a blue design with the whole season. Make detailed plans. No episode will manage, no matter what time it takes to shoot, where in the story climax, where will any character enter or die? This whole part of the plan is called pre-production.

After explaining the story of the screenwriters, they will get all episodes of the whole episode and submit it to you. A 50-minute episode script would be about 40 pages, meaning that the whole script would be about 500 pages. Then you will send every episode script to the director and the image director. They will start planning on every episode immediately. And with the rest of the Art Department. The role of the Art Department here is very important. Well, the story of this series is based on Dhaka in the sixties. The responsibility of the Art Department is to study all that time. Then, what was the costume of man, the building, the roads, how the roads were.

The set will be arranged based on their research, Costume will be designed.

Production

This is the main part of the series - shooting. You need a 'tight schedule' to setup a 40-page script within 8 days. Where ever a part of the shooting will be done, no matter which actress will need to have all the details in the plan. The director will plan the details of each scene. Each scene will be shot in some places, the day will be shot and some actors will act in it. This comprehensive plan of each scene is called 'White schedule'.

Before the start of the shoot all actors will sit together on a big table and the whole script will finish from first to last. It is called 'table read'. At this time, the director will be planning to collaborate with film director how to shoot today's scenes. How each scene will be locked in the camera, how to show a character from an angle, justify everything. It may take several hours for a minute to shoot a scene.

Post Production

Post production is a very important part of a series. Disadvantages of post-production by destroying your well-artistic work. The overall quality of your series will depend on the quality of post production team work.

The post production team is divided into three parts. Editor, Sound Designer, Visual Effect Artist The visual effects artists are responsible for fixing any scenes taken in the shootings.

The sound designer's work is sound editing, smooth voice, dubbing fit.

The editor is the most important thing to do The 50-minute episode may contain parts captured in the camera for a few hours. You know for sure, the director can shoot a scene several times for the perfect visualization. The responsibility of the editor is to select the most perfect technique from many techs. Apart from this, the editor will be able to set a 50-minute episode of the cut-thump finale for some unnecessary parts and time intervals. After editing the editor, the 50-minute episode will be called 'Editor's cut'. It will go away to the director. The director will make some changes in his mind. This cut, known by the director, is called 'Director's cut'. The director's cut will then go to the show runner. Show runner, whether his vision has been implemented on this episode. If he wants to bring any changes, he will bring. His cut is called 'producer of cut'. The deductions will then go to the studio, which will be called 'network's cut'.

The above process is said to be above, but only one episode. There are 12 more episodes left. Yes, the remaining 12 episodes will go through this long process.

As we watch TV series on TV, most of the episodes are completed only a few days before the broadcast, even in some cases just a few hours ago. So, while watching the first episode of the season, there is no reason to believe that the Bux Episodes have already been completed. However, in the case of Netflix another calculation As you may know, without taking an episode of week's week, like any other studio, Netflix releases all episodes throughout the season together.
