How a TV Show Gets Made

What are three ways that television production is different than feature film production?  What did you find interesting about this process?

    Three ways that television production differs from the production process of a feature film are the amount of directors working on the show, the scale of the production, and the timing. It is very common for there to be multiple directors working on different episode of a tv show because it can allow for the production of both to occur simultaneously. This is something that is rarely seen in the production process of a film--the closest thing to this are secondary units during big productions, but the difference is that these are often for less important scenes rather than for full on episodes. Another difference I noticed is the scale. As each episode can vary in length from 20-45 minutes, maybe even the length of an entire movie, and there can be a lot of episodes to a show. The example given in the video said that the entire script was 600 pages long, which, is 10 hours long. For comparison, a feature film is two hours long on average. Another difference is the timing for both the production. As said before, episodes are often shot simultaneously in order to be able to get them out sooner rather than months apart.
